Prediction: On the day after the election, the story the media got wrong will be ........
..... the depth and breadth of the Obama/Democratic sweep.

They will be talking about Democratic down ballot wins they never predicted.

They will be talking about a Senate that is totally recast.

They will be talking about governors and Congressmen, and mayors and aldermen and dog catchers and school boards.

These will be stories they never contemplated.

3. They will take their one little victory...
whatever it might be...and play it over and over and over.

Never mind though, we will be celebrating so loud and hearty we won't hear their squeak.

4. Maybe they'll be talking about riots in states where tens of thousands were un-registered as voters.
Hear that, SOS Coffman of Colorado?

5. Disagree
Say what you will about the Presidential race; I haven't heard anyone suggest that the House/Senate contests will be remotely close.

9. And if it turns out like that, they should be discussing the fact
that America has "grown up" and no longer can be stampeded into submission by the mere threat of danger. The media, like Alan Greenspan, should be admitting that they have been wrong in the relentless support of Republicanism.(that won't happen)

10. You missed one
The level of violence meted out to voters and the unbelievable inefficiency of equipment in polling stations.

But yeah .... I can see that happening. I posted about that before. They won't lose quietly.
