Va. 87% counted and the President is closing, 92% in Fla. and holding. ---

Apparently it costs more than $40 million to purchase a private amendment to the constitution of Michigan. Ambassador Bridge owner Matty Moroun’s attempt to block the building of a competing bridge with Michigan Prop 6 is going down in flames in spite of spending more than half a year’s toll proceeds on some of the most blatantly dishonest election ads in history. As someone with family ties to that corner of Ontario, I’m quite happy about that. ---

I’ve switched over to watching Fox News to see the denial/handwringing/whatever… and Karl Rove still saying that Romney will win Ohio. Which makes me 85% giddy and entertained, and 15% worried… ---
