14K in NH: I'm sure this is because the election is close

I have felt for the last week or two that the polls and the pundits are just plain full of shit.

Yesterday in supposed swing state New Hampshire, Obama and The Dawg drew a crowd of 14,000 people to a rally. Now that's a big number, but not all that big. Until you realize that it was the biggest single political rally in the history of New Hampshire political rallies.

I'm saying 300 EVs for Obama. That's not based on science or polls. It uses the Colbert model: I *feel* it. Or is that the George Costanza model?

No matter.

300 EVs.

Or more.

There are no people in NH. Just kidding, sort of. I went to Randolph, NH for a week and there really was no one there. A town of about 300 in the middle of the woods. This rally was in Concord, more populated. But 14,000 for NH is incredible.

I so hope NH goes blue again. It might piss off my conservative father in law in NH but I would love it.
