Hey, I have a question:

After his dismal predictions this time 'round, why should anyone listen to Bill Kristol ever again?

For example:

1. He predicted a net loss of 2 senate seats;
2. He predicted the GOP didn't have a chance in Arkansas, Colorado, New Hampshire, Missouri and South Dakota;

3. He DID predict correctly only Coleman in Minnesota and the runoff for Landreau.

I just don't see why they listen to him...

Why did anyone ever listen to him in the first place?

Kristol! (Said in my best Seinfeld "Newman!" voice.)

Another one who needs to be gone. The only reason I think they keep him around is that Murdoch loaned him money to start The Weekly Standard and he wants a return on his investment.

Kristol's prediction record is terrible. you are certainly right to ask that question.

Thanks, ML for that great link.

Jane, we were wondering where you went to last night!

Truly, without the VNS data flowing in, it was pretty neat to watch the actual returns reveal the good news!.

Let's put Bill and Morris and Bill n Hill in the same vaporization category.

Bit - what about all the gloom and doom stories the media were selling that the election outcome wouldn't be known for days, if not weeks? Everything was altogether far too close for anyone to accurately decide on November 5.

Well...

We all awoke on November 6 and all of the races that mattered had been decided. It was known who was in control of the House. It was known who was in incontrovertible control of the Senate. It was known who commanded a majority of the governorships.

And the media pundits are left without their month-long story.
