Dog-gone it... wish I was a member of tradesports. I can't get any data off of it. How's it looking now?
RED STATE ECHOING WHITE HOUSE/BC SOURCES [11/02 06:45 PM]
About a half hour back, I posted word that a senior Bush campaign official was saying, "Ohio is won, Florida is won, and Pennsylvania is tied." Then Shannon Coffin noted a White House source saying, "Confident that Bush will win OH and FL, that he will roll in WVa (ten points?) and that Mel Martinez will carry Florida."
Now some unnamed source is telling Red State is saying "it is over."
Folks, we didn't like this when the networks did it in 2000, and so I would urge anyone who is still thinking of voting to go out and do it, whether the buzz is your guy is up or not. The GOP-heavy panhandle is voting until 7 central standard time, 8 pm Eastern. So there is no reason to not vote, no matter who you support.
UPDATE: Middle Cheese checks in again. "Just checked in with former colleagues in the White House and on the Bush-Cheney campaign. They are confident that they will win both Ohio and Florida."
He also says that the GOP has a list of documented Democratic voter intimidation cases longer than your arm. Or, longer than a John Kerry speech. Or, longer than John Edwards spends fussing with his hair. You get the idea.
It's working back up. A couple of big sell orders on Bush have just been taken off. Once the FLA and OH polls close, they'll take their thumb off the scales, and it'll rocket. It's tough to be patient, but I'm being patient.
Caller into Howie Carr (WRKO) just back from NH poles: Really long lines still mostly all men... 6:55 PM
I spoke with my state rep who's been there all day and she said they've been busing 'em in all day. She's not too optimistic about keeping her job.
Good news though. My 22 year old daughter has recruited several of her friends who would otherwise not have voted at all - and they're voting Bush/Cheney!!! As did my other two teenagers.
Hey, Daddy Warbucks... you making any low-interest loans today?
Unfortunately, Mrs Warbucks needs to be placated. She doesn't approve of my online futures trading. She thinks it's gambling. (I claim it's only gambling if you lose).
A nice week in Hawaii should do it.
