The Omaha - based electoral vote has been called for Obama. Which confounds the manner media outlets put up their map. Are they supposed to dab a dash of blue onto the state of Nebraska?

Sassy, you and you alone are responsible for Missouri edging to McCain. If only you had not moved to Kansas and were still in Missouri, your one vote would have swung Missouri to Obama. You have disappointed all Obama supporters, your name will be cursed for all eternity by Obama - heads.

Thinker: Actually, I remember hearing on the news that the voter turnout was much higher than usual. Still, electorial fraud would not surprise me all that much.

I suspect that was press copy and such which was pre-written for the expected news. As for electoral fraud, I am sort of reminded of how Lyndon Johnson stole the 1948 Senate seat against Coke Stevens (and thus put him on a path to the presidency). What is noteworthy, to me at least, is that the only reason he had to steal the 1948 election was that he was outmanuevered in stealing the 1944 election by the other side, who were more proficient in wiping out ballots over here and manufacturing ballots over there -- the "other side" being largely formed of Alcohol Interests who wanted to ship a "Dry" Politician with a penchant for regulating Alcohol over to Washington and out of Texas.
