The Bare Tech Conference
By Mona Goldwater
While Jack did attend The Bare Tech Conference in San Diego, he failed to generate any actual material for his expense account-funded junket, other than one rambling, 133 character Tweet that he posted at 3:30 in the morning,

all this is that election day and night posts on Facebook and Twitter
By Pablo Fanque, Mona Goldwater, and Jack Brummet
For my part, I could have lived with a Romney presidency, but I just don't think they ever let the real Mitt emerge (just a hunch). I don't know if he broke back to the center too late or if it was just the fractured demographics. I think the post mortems and finger pointing will be interesting to follow, and I suspect the GOP may come roaring back in the mid-terms (and of course they will if the economy is still moribund).

From November 2008...Jack gets nostalgic about going to the election polls for the last time (Wash. went to mail ballots after this election). http://jackbrummet.blogspot.com/2012/11/atit-reheated-end-of-polling-place.html
________
If everything else breaks the way it looks like it might (and it has so far), my home state becomes the Bluest of The Blue. After the General Strike, Seattle (and Wash.) acquired a rep. In 1936, James Farley, a Postmaster under FDR, said "there are 47 states in the Union, and the Soviet of Washington." It looks like we're back.

If you don't vote, you can't beef. A lot of states have referendums and initiatives that may be more important than your President, Governor, Wardheeler, or Congressman. When people tell you that there is no difference between the two candidates or parties, don't believe them. Check it out and commit! xoxo /Pablo F/Mona G/Jack B

Tim Eyman - How did we let him slip past us one more time? If we beat this guy, he's gone. But if not, he has a job for life, bullyragging and hectoring us for fun and profit.

But I want those 538 numbers--313 electoral votes. To vindicate Nate Silver.

Nate Silver=92% likelihood now. No longer a nail biter? "Obama’s most likely margin of victory to be two or three percentage points,"

One thing we won't hear tonight are classic Dan Ratherisms. Daniel Kurtzman compiled this AMAZING list of Quotes from CBS Anchor Dan Rather on Election Night 2004. Just one night! this is only about 20% of what he said (you can find the whole list here...http://bit.ly/UvauBw).
"You hear that knocking? President Bush's re-election is at the door. ... This race is hotter than a Times Square Rolex. ... If you had to bet the double-wide, you'd have to bet that he'd win. ... This race is humming along like Ray Charles. ... This race is shakier than cafeteria Jell-O. ... Turn the lights down, the party just got wilder. ... This race is tight like a too-small bathing suit on a too-long ride home from the beach. ... Only votes talk. Everything else walks. ... Spandex tight. ...
"Tight as the rusted lug nuts on a '55 Ford. ... Smelling salts for all Democrats, please. ... When the going gets weird, anchor men punt. ... Florida is the whole deal, the real deal, a big deal. ... hotter than a Laredo parking lot. ... This will have the people in Austin standing up like they got stuck with hat pins. ... The big burrito out there in California. ... None of this television mumbo jumbo: Let's get in there and count the votes. ... We've lived by the crystal ball. We're eating so much broken glass, we're in critical condition.'

At one point we were heading down the road of public financing (remember the $1 campaign checkoff on your income taxes?), and I still think we should go there. I don't think it's really any more fair that Bloomberg, Forbes, Pelosi, Cantwell or Suzan Del Bene can dump millions into their own campaigns. What we do is we give the Presidential candidates $10 million each. Senators get $100K and representatives $50K. And they can do with it what they will. Hire a few staffers, take a few polls, print up some yard signs and bumper stickers and buy a bus to travel around the country. Sure, it's an incursion into the first amendment, but so is not yelling fire in a theatre or muzzling hate speech. Sure, we'll need to work out some of the kinks, and maybe amend the constitution. . .
For my part, I could have lived with a Romney presidency, but I just don't think they ever let the real Mitt emerge (just a hunch). I don't know if he broke back to the center too late or if it was just the fractured demographics.

KARL ROVE'S FINAL CALL : "Without twelve toss
up states (MN, NV, CO, IA, WI, MI, OH, PA, NH, VA, NC, AND FL), Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are tied at 191 each. I predict Mr. Romney will win FL (29), NC (15), VA (13), NH (4), OH (18), IA (6), CO (9) and Mr. Obama will get MN (10), NV (6), WI (10), MI (16), PA (20). This brings Mr. Romney to 285 Electoral College votes and Mr. Obama to 253. These are just my base predictions and I still think several of these states are too close to call. For example, while I put them in Mr. Obama's column, I still believe NV, WI, and PA are in play and very winnable for Mr. Romney. If crowds at his recent stops in these states are any indication of his supporters' enthusiasm, Mr. Romney will likely be able to claim victory in these states as well." www.rove.com/election

All This Is That Celebrates Its 7th Birthday today
By Jack Brummet, Pablo Fanque, and Mona Goldwater
It has been a wonderful seven years. We've published 4,940 posts since we started in 2004, and have published every single day for the last seven years, mostly from Seattle, but also from India, England, Turkey, Greece, Canada, Mexico, Korea, Idaho, Montana, New York City, Texas, Florida, Massachusetts, New Jersey, California, Oregon, Arizona, and Wyoming.
All This Is That is often syndicated and referenced by other blogs and websites, and our articles and art have been reprinted in books and magazines about The Web, alien lore, folk lore and folk ways, poetry, and politics. We've even published a few recipes by Jack.
All This Is That began seven years ago with a poem by Jack Brummet posted the morning of November 16, 2004:

Our favorite All This Is That moment occurred the day that Jack FM radio put Jack on their list of Most Famous Jacks (which--we assume--happened because he was linked to so many articles on ATIT). His second favorite moment was when All This Is That became the number one Google, Yahoo, and Bing search--besting the Beach Boys song from which we nicked the title of the blog.
