Thanks for all the great e-mails. Keep ‘em coming. Here’s a sample from the night owls who checked in with me throughout the wee hours:

On media bias:

I’m watching tv wondering why CNN, ABC, and CBS have all called PA for John Kerry when these channels say that Kerry has less than a 125,000 lead in PA and say Bush has more than 150,000 lead in OH. Why is the media scrutinizing OH and not scrutinizing PA? Why is the media searching for Kerry votes in OH and not searching for Bush votes in PA?

On “healing:”

Isn’t it amazing how after 2 full years of vicious attacks against the President by all of the Democratic challengers, the 527’s, Hollywood, Kennedy, Kerry, Edwards, Harkin, Dean, McAuliffe, the media, and on and on, that according to [Ellen] Ratner and all liberal leaning pundits (I was channel surfing tonight), it is the President who needs to reach out and change the tone!!! This is a current day version of the old (Flip Wilson?) comedic line: “The devil made me do it”, i.e., the President made me say these despicable things. The President made me compare him to Hitler. The President made me call him a deserter and accuse him of being AWOL. Who the hell do these people think they are; who do they think we are?

On desperate Dem rationalizations:

It seems like the new spin some are trying to push is that in the areas with electronic voting Bush exceeds the exit polls but in other swing states without electronic voting the exit polls match up with the results. Wow. Let’s hope this isn’t their new paranoid slant.

On the Sunshine State:

the voting I experienced in (North) Florida was clockwork. Always has been. Don’t listen to the fiends! There is no disenfranchisement here.

On Dan Rather accusing the blogosphere of being “used” by the White House:

I think that’s called “projection.”

On Fox News Channel resisting a call on Nevada:

We all love Fox of course, but they look very silly insisting on not giving Nevada to Bush, so as to compensate for calling Ohio. They don’t want to be forced to give Bush the victory -or- move Ohio back into the “too close to call” column; so they settle on the absurdity of pretending Nevada is not decided. Hilarious.

On fairweather supporters of the Electoral College:

It’s rather enjoyable watching the irony in this years election results. Four years ago, when Gore won the popular vote by I believe less of a margin than Bush did this year, the liberals were screaming that the electoral college was unfair and should be abandoned for the winner to be solely on the popular vote. Ironic, isn’t it, that Kerry’s only chance of winning the presidency this year is if he takes Ohio; losing the popular vote but winning the electoral. I’ll be anxiously waiting for this to be addressed by the media.
