Election day is finally here. Yes, millions have people have already cast their vote, but there’s nothing like today. Here’s an early morning round up . . .
PREDICTIONS: Karl Rove predicts Obama 338-200.
FIRST: Barack Obama wins in Dixville Notch, New Hampshire 15-6, the first place to cast their votes. The only time a Democrat has won was in Hubert Humphrey in 1968.
THAT DAMN YOUTH VOTE: I missed the forum at the Clinton School, but Lance Turner and David Kinkade weigh in on the issue.
POLLS: OH (Obama +2), PA (Obama +10), FL (Obama +3), NC (McCain +1), VA (Obama +7), MO (Tie), IN (McCain +5).
EXIT POLLS: Here’s a tip: ignore them. They’re not scientific, and they lean Democratic. Read this. And then call your bookie.
BEST OP-ED: Eugene Robinson in the Washington Post: “Nothing can change the fact that so many white Americans entrusted a black American with their hopes and dreams. We can all have a new kind of pride in our country.”
BIG FINISH: 90,000 show up for an Obama rally in Manassas, Virginia last night.
CLEARED: Palin exonerated from troopergate scandal in Alaska.
POLL CLOSINGS: GA, IN, SC, VT and VA close at 6:00 CST. You better be in front of a television.
