PJTV’S TRIFECTA: Dead Heat: Bad for Obama, Good for Romney?

APPARENTLY, AN OBAMA MUSICAL actually exists in Germany. Must be seen to be believed.

STILL HOPING THINGS TURN OUT LIKE THE “ELECTORAL HEAT MAP.” Nate Silver not so positive. . . . (Bumped).

CLINTON’S PARADOX.

CHANGE SAME: Obama will spend election night with pastor despite recent racist remarks.

BACKWARDS: Foreign Election Observers “Amazed” By U.S. Lack of Photo ID, Other Safeguards. And we should be appalled.

HURRICANE SANDY UPDATE: Reader Juan Cusumbo writes:

On a break from the election frenzy thought you might note that hurricane recovery is still slow — here are the freezer shelves of our local A&P at 3:30 pm today, November 6, 2012, 8 days after Sandy.

Meat counters were lightly stocked, no ground turkey for one. And the deli had mostly store brand lunch meat. Canned goods were heavily picked over, particularly ready to eat meats like deviled ham, tuna etc.

YOU CAN’T HAVE IQ TESTS FOR VOTERS, BUT WHAT ABOUT POLL WORKERS? Officials Try to Prevent Woman Wearing MIT Shirt From Voting. “BocaNewsNow.com has heard from multiple sources that an election supervisor at the polling place ultimately realized that MIT stands for “Massachusetts Institute of Technology” — a school where students tend to know how to spell — and was not a campaign shirt for the Republican candidate, who spells his name MITT.”

They’re not the only ones.

WELL, I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR A WHILE:

From deep inside the Romney campaign, “The polling is so close we can’t tell. It all depends on who shows up.”

So please tell everyone to SHOW UP!

I have. I hope they do.

MICKEY KAUS: I’m voting for Obama — and gridlock! It wouldn’t be gridlocked enough. Kaus: “I don’t really like Obama, as President anyway. What’s not to like? I think it’s the combination of stubborn arrogance and left-liberal dogmatism. By now even the CW recognizes that Obama’s not a very good public salesman when it comes to convincing voters of positions they might not already hold. Actually, he’s bad at it (see Obamacare, popularity), though it’s not at all clear he realizes this. He’s also not a very good Congressional negotiator.”

IT’S NOW PUBLIC: Editors Rejigger Polls, John Podhoretz writes:

To recap: A newspaper pays for a poll. It doesn’t like the look of the results. So it asks the pollster to reexamine them and alter them by changing his “weights.” He does so; he may agree with the call (as the Mason Dixon pollster says he does in the story) or he may be simply serving the interests of his paying client.

And it will do so based on the partisan split—the very controversy that is dismissed so cavalierly by media types.

We only know about this one because of the highly unusual circumstances of its revision. The question you have to ask yourself now is: How many times does this happen before a poll is published?

RESISTING THE WAR AGAINST WOMEN: Young male vigilantes in Egypt are going after young male harrassers of women: “The young activists lingered on the streets around Tahrir Square, scrutinizing the crowds of holiday revelers. Suddenly, they charged, pushing people aside and chasing down a young man. As the captive thrashed to get away, the activists pounded his shoulders, flipped him around and spray-painted a message on his back: ‘I’m a harasser.’”
