Random Observations

1) David Axelrod looks far more polished in a suit on TV than he does in a beat-up leather jacket roaming around a Virginia fairgrounds. I am 100 percent sure the leather jacket is way more fun to wear, although if Obama wins tonight, I imagine that once the celebrating is over, Axelrod will be able to sleep like a baby in a full suit of armor, on a bed of nails, if need be.

2) While CNN, ABC, and NBC all have called 102-103 electoral votes for Obama, they range from calling 34 to 58 electoral votes for McCain. NBC, despite being frequently accused of liberal bias, has been the quickest to pull the trigger for states for McCain.
