Concern trolling on steroids...
I'm still gathering my thoughts on the "meaning" of Tuesday. For now, I'm not seeing half as much meaning as most others. Until my further posts on the subject, this segment below by Dennis Miller (via Hot Air) is worth a listen. Miller makes the point that...
Yesterday morning—the morning after—I posted this: Barack Obama is the first two-term president in at least 100 years to get fewer votes in his reelection than he did the first time out. (FDR did less well in both his third and fourth terms.) I’d written those words...
From a reader abroad: I live in Italy with my wife. My parents are visiting for a month, and we were in Pisa yesterday. My dad, a Korea vet, loved the stickers on this car. There may be hope yet for Europe. Love your site, though I...
Last night after news of Obama's reelection was announced, I headed into downtown Chicago and came across groups of supporters celebrating. The video below was taken of a group that gathered outside the ABC studios. They spoke about how thrilled they were to see that...
As we've reported already, Operation Counterweight member, David Rouzer, is heading for a recount in North Carolina's hotly contested 7th Congressional District. From the News & Observer: Longtime Democratic incumbent Congressman Mike McIntyre and Republican challenger state Sen. David Rouzer are headed to a recount. Merely 507 votes...
Operation Counterweight 2012 is over. I reported the results in an earlier post, here is my assessment. The first thing you need to understand is that by definition we chose difficult races, not easy ones. The goal was to try to flip Democratic seats or protect...
in Wisconsin, GOP retakes state Senate and full control of state government: Republicans recaptured the state Senate on Tuesday, once again giving them the complete control of state government that they used to enact sweeping changes in the last legislative session. Yet this, Tammy Baldwin tops Tommy...

This headline at DEBKAfile is spot on, Barack Obama wins reelection: Mid East faces nuclear Iran, Brotherhood grip: The prospect of another four years of Obama in the White House fills some Middle East nations, including the Persian Gulf and Israel, with trepidation. They envisage a foreign policy...
Barack Obama is the first two-term president in at least 100 years to get fewer votes in his reelection than he did the first time out. (FDR did less well in both his third and fourth terms.) That is a consequential fact, completely aside from whether...
This seems like a fitting post Election Day entry, summing up hundreds of bumper stickers we have seen the past several months. From an unknown Sprint phone: ...
I'll have more in the morning, but my quick thoughts. Of course it was a bad defeat tonight. Let's not kid ourselves. We had a chance to stop the decline, and we didn't. We held the House pretty strongly, so that's good, and a reflection that candidates and...
UPDATE 11:19 p.m. -- Obama re-elected, the Senate is a little more Democratic, and the House is about the same or maybe slightly more Republican (still waiting as of this writing to see how some House races play out). Romney campaign has not conceded Ohio yet -- so it's...

The live feed for the night will have frequent updates from Twitter feeds -- in my view the best way for you to keep track of results. But here are some resources you may find useful: MAP of closing times, via PJ Tatler via Politico: Politico Election Results...
