Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

I have said publicly, and I will again, that unless he proves me wrong, Tom DeLay eats a bowl of dicks for breakfast every chance he gets.

Keep the pics of DeLay getting man-head to yourself, plz.

(xxpost) that Goldberg item is maybe the first time in Corner history they've suggested human behavior could have an impact on the environment! Even if it's in a totally insane and wrong way.

posts I expect to be on The Corner in the next 24 hours:

- It wasn't the blowout the media were predicting (cites high outlier poll number)
- fraudulent voting was almost certainly a factor in (close state)
- we were only (x) number of votes from victory {where (x) is the smallest possible margin to flip the smallest possible number of states}
- the country will see they've been sold a false bill of goods and we'll sweep 2012
- I'm going to the movies with my daughter (Jonah Goldberg)

OMG <3<3<3

Greetings. I'm taking a second from continuously hitting refresh on The Corner to report a depressing voting experience. No NBPP members with billy clubs promising to get black to me later.

These are the lolz I'm talking about!

I am really tempted to write a trashy Jacqueline Susann type novel based on a Lindsey Graham-esque senator for nanowrimo, where he has to stop an ambitious hussy potential vp from murdering his true love.

omg nicole do this

must involve garter belts, sniper rifle, blowing curtains, columbia outdoor gear

Still time for NaNoWriMo this year.

I know.

it's kind of a story that writes itself

Oops, sorry Nicole, hadn't seen you'd mentioned that already!

H-O-P-E [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
If you 21 and older college kids need a drinking game, look for talking heads overusing that word. Chris Mathews just declared this as exactly what Americans are looking for. This will be the hope election and there will be all kinds of thrills on MSM street.

Well, unless the voters decide something else, given they haven't finished voting yet.

oops, last clause was in italics: ...given they haven't finished voting yet.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood [Lisa Schiffren]
Apparently the old gang votes together too: According to ABC's Jake Tapper,

CHICAGO, Ill. — Among the other voters who have shown up to vote at Shoesmith Elementary School this morning, where Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., will vote: Louis Farrakhan and William Ayers.

Seriously.

Welcome to the South Side of Chicago.

Can't make this stuff up.

Exit Poll Data For Real [Jonah Goldberg]
Fox reporting that new voters make up 10% of voters nationwide. Polls are still open, remember. In the following states, Fox reports that the break down of new voters is

Obama McCain

Indiana 73 27

Virginia 69 31

Ohio 63 36

11/04 05:30 PM

fucking ohio

doing worse than indiana, really???

That's pretty embarrassing for Ohio!

I'd be thrilled if Obama won the election and lost Ohio. Just to shove it down their fat redneck throats.

that's just new voters -- not surprising really. not having been targeted in 04, indiana presumably would have more "new" nonvoters lying around to be picked up

More from that post:

Obama McCain

Indiana 44 54

Virginia 47 51

Ohio 39 58

Late Deciders

Obama McCain

Indiana 52% 45%

Ohio 54 39

Virginia 44 55

playing the exit polls game is only going to make u crazy

This isn't the exit polls game. It's the Corner exit polls game.

I'm secretly hoping for K-Lo to start making up exit polls.

suggest ban for reposting exit polls

Those polls are pure nonsense.

IT Takes a Graphic [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

An e-mail:

K-Lo,

I've only just started noticing it today, so perhaps it's been that way for awhile and I just missed it, but having the American Flag be the only thing on the screen for a second or to before the NRO pages load is inspiring.

fuck an exit poll

lol xps

K-Lo has crazy fans

That's not exactly a news flash.

Can I Just Reemphasize? [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Ignore the exits and vote, Virginia, and everyone else.

11/04 05:48 PM

Didn't she get burnt on exit polls during the Santorum election?

Kathryn -

I've only just noticed it, but you should know that seeing your name attached to 1 in 2 posts on The Corner is inspiring.

love,
as

You could say she has "Corner"ed the market on posting! /custos

custos was better than that

no he wasn't!

famous southside chicagoans vote in same southside chicago voting station: you can't make this stuff up!

don't all those people live in lower manhattan anyway? wtf is surprising about a bunch of people living in the same part of a city

More Exit Poll Data (Extreme Caution Warranted) [Jonah Goldberg]

Gawker has everything tighter than most recent polls.

Really, Jonah? Really?

They might be accurate on Gossip Girl coverage but anything else...

Norah O'Donnell [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

says she's hearing Dole is gone. I don't believe exits and all, but I wouldn't be shocked at all. That "Godless" ad screamed "desperation."

The ironing is delicious.

Any lols on this front?

At this point it might be a question of trying to find the non-LOL posts.

i am hoping 4chan crashes the site with EPIC FAIL pics

Good job there, Mr. Goldberg:

Well.... [Jonah Goldberg]

Looks like paperback sales of Liberal Fascism will be brisk!

Goldberg just did his gracious-in-defeat bit. Meanwhile, back at the Batshit Ranch:

What Freaks Me Out About This Election [Kathryn Jean Lopez]

is how oblivious to facts people have been. Everything about Obama's judgment and radicalism — whether Sean Hannity or Stanley Kurtz or Andy McCarthy etc. is telling you about it — was essentially deemed irrelevant (including largely by the McCain campaign, save for Palin eventually talking about Ayers). Abortion? Near no one outside a handful of conservatives were talking about his record on infanticide — beyond abortion.

People are in for a rude awakening. And a mature conservative movement, with both an ear and a solid voice, will be needed.

whether Sean Hannity or Stanley Kurtz or Andy McCarthy etc. is telling you about it

Telling != shouting.

Anyway, what's interesting to me is how...well, cowed they are sounding over there. Even Levin is suddenly all restrained. Amusing.

The View from Harlem [Mike Potemra]

It happened, almost too quickly, what everyone was waiting for. Is it really possible to sneak up on a crowd of many thousands of people? At 11 PM, the big-screen TV at the corner of 125th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard in Harlem went very briefly silent, and blank; and then a graphic silently popped up, "Barack Obama Elected 44th President." It seemed to take forever for the crowd's resulting murmur to coalesce into a shout, and then a roar. This was not a wish or a test pattern, this was it.

The scene was Congressman Charlie Rangel's block party celebrating the election of Barack Obama. People of all races and ages were there on this mild Manhattan evening, and they were in a festive mood even before the big news was announced. American flags abounded; a platform preacher repeated "God bless America, God bless America."

Why was I, a John McCain voter, there? A bit of personal history. I was born in 1964, and on the day I was born the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Prince Edward County in Virginia had to reopen its public schools. The county had closed the schools because they decided it was better to have no public schools at all than to have to admit black kids into them. Here we are, just 44 years later, with an African-American president, a president elected with the electoral votes of that very same Commonwealth of Virginia.

I voted for John McCain because I admire him immensely as a person, and agree with him on many more issues than I do with Senator Obama. And I ask a rhetorical question: Can we McCain voters, without embarrassment, shed a tear of patriotic joy about the historic significance of what just happened? And I offer a short, rhetorical answer.

Yes, we can.

Sour Loser [John Derbyshire]
Just watched Wonder Boy's speech. Hmph. "Callused hands"? When did he ever have callused hands?

All right, I'm sour. The most liberal member of the U.S. Senate! And that shakedown-artist of a wife, with the permanent frown! And Joe Biden! …

I'm sour about the GOP too. What did it all get us, those 8 years of pandering and spending? If GWB had turned his face against from new entitlements, closed the borders, deported the illegals, held the line on calls to loosen mortgage-lending standards, starved the Department of Education, and declined those invitations to mosque functions, would the GOP be in any worse shape now?

What won this election was the packaging skills of David Axelrod, the swooning complicity of the media, the ruthless opportunism of Barack Obama, and the unprincipled thuggishness of his supporters.

What lost this election was the cloth-eared cluelessness of George W. Bush, the timid squeamishness of John McCain, and the deep lack of interest in conservative principles among Republican primary voters.

Sour? You bet I'm sour. Where was conservatism in this election? Where was restraint in government? Where was national sovereignty? Where was liberty? Where was self-support? And where are those things now? Where are they headed this next four years? Down the toilet, that's where. Pah!
