Hmmm, the inaugural address would just write itself then:

Re: US Election Open Thread (4.00 / 2)

Hi CH! No, I was gonna, but I seem to have come down with a cold. So I'm going to do the wimpy thing and stay home with my sage tea. Strong beverages are no fun with a sore throat.

How about you? Are you going to party like its 2008?

Re: US Election Open Thread (4.00 / 3)

No, though if anyone in Remscheid wants to join me at the ET party in my room, we'll watch the show in Englisch. That i don't need an OP is cause enough to celebrate. Wanted to go there (i'd even given a presentation on energy to Dems Abroad in Cologne) as i've met some folks, but better i sleep in until 1AM.

Re: US Election Open Thread (4.00 / 3)

Take a quick jet over the Alps and join the Dems in Nice at the Texas City Restaurant - I'll be setting there with my laptop, wondering how the dems were able to lose again.

Can this many polls have missed that many Catholics and other religious rightists and other wackos? Does the news that gun sales are up 10% in the US fit into this equation?

I had faith in the youth vote, among others, last time...

One thing is for certain, I will not get my hopes up and jinx this thing.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
