They are already talking landslide, including Pat Buchanan and Joe the Scarborough. Pat the friend of Rachel Maddow is saying the conservative era is over and we are entering a new liberal era for the first time since 1932. It’s a total repudiation of the Republican party. Hope they are correct.
Tomorrow watch the Beltway Pundits insist the Dems have no mandate for their agenda of leaving Iraq, health care reform, higher taxes for the wealthy, etc, and must therefore govern in a bi-partisan manner by moving to the “center.” Oh wait. They’ve already done that!
Update [2008-11-4 20:3:12 by Steven D]: Pennsylvania just called for Obama.
Update [2008-11-4 20:18:17 by Steven D]: Sununu loses his Senate seat from New Hampshire.
Update [2008-11-4 20:31:6 by Steven D]: Huffington Post calls North Carolina race for the Democrat Kay Hagan (i.e., they think Liar Liddy Dole is a Loser). MsNBC also calls Senate race for Hagan.
PS. Chill people. Wait until 11:00 or 12:00 pm before you start panicking. If Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico all go for McCain I’ll be shocked. I’d also be shocked if at least one of Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Ohio or Virginia don’t go for Obama. If any of the above states go for Obama, McCain loses. If they all go for McCain, I’d have to think something’s rotten in Denmark America.
PPS. My daughter’s Middle school, in a Suburban Republican majority district, voted over 2.5 to 1 in favor of Obama. In 2004 it was the reverse in favor of Bush.
Update [2008-11-4 21:10:9 by Steven D]: NBC says Arizona is too close to call. Imagine that. I expected that to go into McCain’s column immediately upon the polls closing. It probably still will, but . . .
