parker, I applaud your choice of a Tempranillo. That’s all I wanted to say for now.

NYT is projecting with 95% certainty Trump with 302 electoral votes.

…that at 9:00P PST (so midnight in the east).

I’m breaking open a bottle of wine.

…its not over until the countin’ is done, and I’m still in disbelief (pleasant disbelief) …but it’s worth raisin’ the grape to at this point.

302 would be kind of good, right?

I dunno what the morning will bring, but I’ll sleep easier tonight.

Iowa, with 32% reporting, has hrc up by 2000+ votes. But the solid R areas have not reported as of now. Trump may get our ECV yet.

For me, djt’s only virtue was not being hrc. Hammering a stake into the clinton cabal is victory enough for at least a few days.

I look forward to bowing down to our trumpiam horde overlords. Well, no I do not, but it might be a good idea to stay under the team the donald’s radar. 😉

Bill:

On the polls.

Ever since the Comey announcement, the polls were only slightly for Clinton, but well within the margin of error. A toss-up in statistical terms.

The polls weren’t actually wrong, if Trump wins. The close states have been very close, within that margin of error.

“Enthusiasm makes the difference.”

We will see just how much enthusiasm for trump has to do with it the net results vs a lack thereof for clinton.

Don’t take “historic” nominal numbers as proof, but percentage of voter eligibility vs prior elections – the population has increased in the last four years.

Big Maq,
If that’s the case, he’ll be a one-term president, which I think would be something he should consider even if he does survive the coming storms.

It’s the pits living on the west coast in a deep blue state. Not only does my vote not matter, I think they called the state for Hillary with about 1% of the votes counted! No drama either!
