Sometimes I feel guilty about living in New Mexico. It's in the mid-60s, sunny, just came in from a nice easy run with one dog and a quick game of fetch with the other one. There's a kind of surreal calm and quiet here right now. It's the waiting. We already voted so there's no line to be standing in. And I haven't heard of any lines out here anyway. I couldn't figure out what was going on in Ohio today, and then I heard they only have one voting center per county for early voting. That's nuts.
It's hard not to feel that the only way the election turns out any different than where Nate Silver is pointing is if something we've really never seen before happens. Is it possible that the polls are really completely off base and biased? Is it possible that people are really saying one thing and doing another? Is it possible that enough votes can be stolen or suppressed to really turn things? It feels like either way, half the country is going to be furious and feel that something has been stolen from them. That's a bad place to be.
