Roof top. Heading to Grant Park rally!

Grant Park rally…

Update: No, this wasn’t much of a live blog other than taking and uploading pictures from my iPhone.  More pictures to come.

The posting below was originally made election day while I was eating some lunch at my desk.  The updated results can be seen on BccList.com here.

Obama will win with 53.4% of the popular vote and 323 electoral votes.

Trust me, BccList.com’s prediction model is using a very complicated – almost google complicated – algorithm. Ha!

President Obama at his best…

To the pre-blog Bcc: email recipients, you’ll recognize this video from an email I sent November 13, 2007 introducing our new president.

Regardless, President Obama at his (second) best…

While I chuckled a few times, pissing on osama wasn’t as fun as you’d think but (I guess) it was still photo worthy.

I didn’t flush…

In July, voters were asked how important it was to them that their candidate won the 2008 election for president. They were asked again over the past week…

Math 101…

Obama: 52% + 34% = 86% die hard support.

mccain: 48% + 34% = 82% die hard support.

I’m obviously pleased to see a larger percentage of die hard support for Obama. Will a die hard supporter turn out to vote? Who knows? Moreover, this chart lacks any sort of relevance until you consider this overly important swing state data…

In 2004, 33% of respondents identified themselves as a republican. In the same year, 35% of respondents identified themselves as a democrat.

Fast forward to 2008 – 36% of respondents identify themselves as a democrat and just 27% of respondents identify themselves as a republican. Yes, 27%.

No matter how close the “die hard” numbers are, none of that matters if you’ve lost 12% of your party. Good night and good luck as originally seen on BccList.com here…
