One day last May, I assigned the election to John Kerry. I said it early, and often. As I looked more, I saw that it shouldn't even be close. I said that in this space more than once. Now I am so sure that I am not even going to bother to watch the results tonight. I am going to bed early, for I must rise in the darkness and pursue immediately an exciting, overdue project.

Besides, if I was up, so many people, upon seeing every word I said of this election coming true on television in front of them, would be kissing my hands and embarrassing me with outlandish praise. So I go to bed with total confidence. I will get up and stroll to other meadows. I invented this column form. I now leave, but will return here for cameo appearances. And I leave today as the only one in America who from the start was sure John Kerry would win by a wide margin. Let me tell you why.

It has been the fabled Quad-post!!!



I find it strange that when online surveys, and things are done, Kerry comes out on top, but this morning on the radio i heard in municipalities or whatever they are called down south are giving the nod to Bush.

This can only mean one thing.

The southeners have no computers.

Exit polls confirmed by Drudge Report.

I'll tell you what, the polls by me are rediculous. When I went to vote toda I waited in line for 45 minutes and that was the low point according to many of the people that are working the polls.

This may not sound surprising, but considering I live in a small rural community, its huge.

EDIT: As for exit polls... remember they are not designed to predict a winner, but to inquire about WHY voters voted the way they did. They have never been an accurate predictor of election results.

With that said, just seeing the turnout of this election (especially among young people), I'm predicting that Kerry will win. I hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

People here in Austin are looking at one hour waits.
