In Chicago, a 21-year-old casts her ballot for Obama while she’s in labor. Reading between the lines of the story, she’s unwed and without a male partner. (Lives with her mom.) Yet she says, “I grew up on Sesame Street and PBS. [Romney] wants to cut that. What will my daughter grow up on?”
Good question. Answer: Not much.

Exit polls are designed to demoralize R voters to the west of wherever they’re being reported from.
Reminder that when Jimmy Carter conceded in ’80 while polls were still open in the west, a lot of Democrats stayed home, leading to some unexpected ballot measure outcomes.
