Thanks to Typepad being down for me for most of the day I didn’t get a chance to score big with all the hard-hitting minute-by-minute election coverage I had planned, but I have read a few headlines.

Watchdog Group Says Election Day Hiccups Are At A Minimum So Far
And by "hiccups" we of course mean "votes for Ferrer".

"There’s going to be an immense surprise tomorrow, so fasten your seat
belts!" Mr. Ferrer told reporters on Fulton Mall, though he declined to
drop a hint or predict a margin of victory for himself over the mayor.
And by "immense surprise" Ferrer of course means he’ll be losing by 37 percent of the vote as opposed to 38 percent that was predicted.  Hold onto your hats people.

On a different subject but something that caught my eye in the same article was this:

Mr. Ferrer, who is 55, projected sunny optimism in the face of a new
poll showing him 38 points behind and drew cheers in Brooklyn with the
Rev. Al Sharpton and then in Chelsea with Barack Obama of Illinois, the only black United States senator.

You know at some point Barack is going to get really sick of being the only black senator in the United States.  Everytime a democrat needs minority votes they’re all like, get Barack on the phone.

Anywho, we’d like to go ahead and be the first to congratulate Bloomberg, for better or for worse on a landslide victory against an opponent who even most poor democrats don’t really like.  You heard it here first.
