Election Day, 2008

Election Day updates are below the fold:

To quote Yogi Berra, "I'm having déjà vu all over again." Like I said a few days ago:

The Democrats and the press (I repeat myself) are giddy with excitement about forecasted victories, and Republicans are once again putting all their eggs in the “all the polls are biased and we're really winning" basket. We all know how that election [in 2006] turned out.

How could anyone forget? It was a day filled with cries of "everyone out there is either wrong or in the tank," and it was embarrassing to many. I'm all for pep talks and optimism, but not at the expense of reasoned thought. I hope I'm wrong, but I think everyone in the rightosphere needs to stop chugging the red kool-aid for a moment. This frenzy is going to last all day, all night, and maybe in to the rest of the week.
