"A woman who was arrested driving at 100mph in a 30mph zone told claimed God had told her to drive so fast. When officers pulled over Melissa Miller for speeding she said she was 'letting the Lord's spirit guide me.' Officers in Fort Pierce, Florida, were alerted to Miller when they saw her silver Toyota driving at speed along US 1 while its horn was sounding." - Dennis Jernberg

"Jay Inslee (D) was elected the Governor of Washington as his opponent, the AP reports. Inslee's opponent, Republican Rob McKenna, conceded on Friday. Inslee is was a U.S. congressman from Washington until March 2012. He resigned to focus on his gubernatorial campaign. McKenna is the state's Attorney General. Randy Pepple, McKenna's campaign manager, told reporters that the candidate decided to conceded when it was clear the polls just weren't in his favor. According to Pepple, McKenna had been trailing Insee by about 42,000 votes when he decided to concede." - Dennis Jernberg

"For students of modern US political history, this represented the closing of a circle. It was Rove’s successful effort to get Fox to reverse their call of Florida for Al Gore in 2000 that in many people’s eyes won George Bush the Presidency. Had the networks stuck with their original predictions, the recount saga would have been conducted against the backdrop of a narrow lead for Gore rather than for Bush, potentially with a very different outcome. But watching Rove vainly raging against the dying of the light cemented for me a view that’s been forming throughout this campaign. Fox News, widely perceived to be one of the Republican party’s greatest assets, has actually become a liability to it." - Dennis Jernberg

Of course they don't see it that way. Saw on a conservative blog today the suggestion that the big GOP donors should start ANOTHER network instead of giving their money to the SuperPACs because "the MSM adds 10-15 points to the democratic side of the election." They are not playing in the same universe of reality as everyone else. - Kevin (aka ThreadKilla)
