Nice article. How you managed to write up something coherent like this at three something in the morning is beyond me. Even Brit Hume was unable to do simple addition or subtraction and stay awake by then, much less write about it.

Don't feel too bad about the innaccuracies of some of your predictions, Congressman. You had the trend nailed and the direction zeroed. Even the Great Zogby missed those! Dick Cheney told us the numbers two weeks ago and we should have listened to him, 52-48.

But you probably could not have anticipated in your wildest dreams a scant two months ago just how deeply the MSM were in the tank for their stooges and the lengths they would go to throw this election to their friends. If it weren't for their stellar help, your 10% prediction would have held or been exceeded, IMHO.

The fact this election was so close when the other side was running such a dud should just give us pause to reflect on how much more serious work is needed to be done in this country to ensure our survival as a free people.

Evening, my friend, Here's the secret: I wrote the article 24 hours in advance, with blanks for the applicable numbers and percentages from the election itself. That was based on the assumption that my general premises would prove correct.

So the hard part was waiting and watching until 4 a.m. when some real numbers were clear, not the process of writing the article since that was already known. Working Rule #2: there is usually an easier way to a result. The hard part is finding it, not using it.

Cheers.
