Election Day in the United States

  • The final Rasmussen poll has Bush 49, Gore 40, Nader 4.
  • ABC had a feature last night on the candidates you’ve never heard of which claimed Harry Browne was on all 50 state ballots. Sorry, Charlie, he’s not on the ballot in Arizona where L. Neil Smith managed to get himself placed on the Libertarian Party ballot.
  • How desperate are Democrats? In Milwaukee, Democratic activists were handing out packs of cigarettes to homeless people. On my drive to work I saw a Democratic party activist in the middle of a traffic island with huge signs informng me that a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush and that a vote for Bush is a vote for racism.
  • Time for the celebrity exit watch — if Bush does win today, as it appears very likely he will, I think it is important that we all band together to give Alec Baldwin a fond farewell as he makes good on his promise to leave the country if Republicans capture the White House (that promise alone almost was enough to make me cast my vote for Bush).
