Election day - any thoughts? Not really. He feels for the Hamlet he knew, moving his mocking form through the shadows to an acquiescent despond, pausing to wonder at the special providence of dying sparrows.

In many ways the most interesting thing will be what happens after what happens - whoever wins, in the days and weeks that ensue I'm expecting bad things, possibly very bad things - hopefully I'll be disappointed in that but I doubt it. If Obama wins, we'll look to see if the media repents, takes a step back to reflect on its dishonorable conduct, or whether it doubles down on its shame; and then we'll look to see if middle America grudgingly accepts the bitterness of defeat or stirs in opposition to what it will inevitably come to think of as a left wing coup. If it's Romney we'll look to see if the inner cities burn and how far the left is willing to go in pushing the country towards social upheaval by blaming race for the loss instead of gross incompetence and ideological stupefaction.

Like I said, should be interesting.
