Debate tonight.

I like watching ABC for the debates.  Maybe I’m just a sucker for George Stephanopoulos since Sam Seaborn’s soaring rhetoric was rumored to have been written after him.  That is not confirmed by IMDB.com though.  Whatever, I like him.

Here are some of the many maps that follow the only 270 votes that really matter.

Politico: Obama 207, McCain 163, Toss-Up 168.
Rove.com: Wait, who?!? Obama 273, McCain 163 Toss-Up 102.
Pollster: Obama 320, McCain 163 Toss-Up 55
270towin: Obama 264, McCain 163 Toss-Up 111
Real Clear Politics: Obama 264, McCain 163 Toss-Up 111

That is a grand average of: Obama 265.6 McCain 163 Toss-Up 109.4

This of course means next to nothing but it does give you a picture of the quickly decreasing time between now and the election.  It seems that everyone is agreed on McCain’s states -odd really- and no one really agrees on Obama’s.  While I’m sure there is a reason it is something to consider.

The time is now.

God, I miss The West Wing. It was the first thing I queued up on Netflix (the astute few will remember we just joined up).  There isn’t anything I can say about the show that hasn’t been said a thousand times over.  It is from moment one well-acted, well-written, and it talks down to you.  It assumes you’re smart and if you’re not it doesn’t leave you behind.  I don’t know why I didn’t watch this show from the beginning.  I loved The American President and it is essentially a tv show version…  I should stop talking about it.

The real subject: I don’t have one, I started to blog and thought… my mind is pretty blank.  I joined up on Twitter as well but there isn’t much to say about that.  I’d like to use it and think it was as awesome as the kids out in San Francisco.  But they are all the movers and geeks of the tech world and I’m just an English teacher in Wisconsin.  There aren’t a lot of people around Milwaukee rolling on Twitter.

Read this if you want something interesting.
