From the E-Mailbag…

Every time I post something even vaguely political here, I get angry rebuttals and insults from a couple of folks, often the same couple of folks. A regular is someone named Hank Cox, and the following is quite typical of how it goes…

I am not surprised that you linked to electoral-vote.com since that's another socialist (i.e., liberal) website run by another one of your Anti-American defeatists. I wouldn't trust a comma on that Obama Osama loving site. If you are as fair minded as some claim, why did not you link to election projection, which is run by a good, God-fearing American who also lists and analyzes the polls? Could it be that you do not live in the reality-based community of your mind and think you can trick Republicans into the same kind of defeatist mindset you favor for Iraq, making us believe we cannot win?

Actually, election projection is another decent tracker of electoral votes. At this moment, they figure Barack Obama with 349 electoral votes and John McCain with 189. The "socialist" site you abhor has Obama at 317 and McCain at 194.
