God help us all. It might not be a Black Panther outside of a polling place or Hillary Clinton inside one, but dammit, Ohio is still going nuts for those damn provisional ballots. This time it's because the precinct judges just don't know their own damn rules. Just like in 2004, as the rest of the country votes, Ohio just kind of "Votes."

Lieberman: ‘I Fear’ That ‘America Will Not Survive’ If Democrats Get 60 Senate Seats

Sounds like he's ready to join the republicans. Since his committee assignments are in jeopardy, I can see why he is panicking. You can't endorse the opposing candidate without expecting some retaliation.

So, no final dirty tricks.. no final suprises from the right.. Obama clearly has it won, it's just a matter of getting the last few states called.

I wonder if those who were seriously considering there would be a last 72 hours bombshell, or that there was a serious "fix" in the works, will admit they were way overboard in that assessment?

I suspect instead it'll be that there was a fix in, but the people spoke too loudly to be overcome.. or something like that.

Congrats Democrats. Seriously. But the burden will be heavily on your sides shoulders now. Will you meet the challenge? I honestly hope so.
