YEah, I’m trying to do this tonight in the midst of the confusion and general calm that is Atlanta on the night of this election that is REALLY looking to go in Obama’s favor. Yeah….I need a B3 right about now…I feel a shout about to come out before the end of the night. 9:01 […]

Okay, it’s 7pm and the first polls are beginning to close out here in the East Coast and we can finally stop talking about polling numbers and actually talk about raw votes–the same ones Hillary Clinton moaned about in the primaries.  Here, the rubber is about to meet the road.
