13. He doesn't care what he lists
He probably doesn't buy the republican hype either--but it pays the bills. And you just helped him.

5. Please keep in mind...
...that Drudge may just be doing this to artificially raise expectations (so that they can be crushed later.)

14. Except he's linking to stories from New Hampshire news stations reporting they are out of ballots
Not everything on Earth is an evil Republican conspiracy

18. Damn.
This is the first time (and probably the last, I suspect) that anyone on DU has ever accused me of all people of wearing the tin foil hat. The folks in the 9/11 dungeon will be highly amused. :-)

19. I was kidding! Please don't take it personally! I wasn't accusing you wearing the tin foil hat.

17. He wasn't at the time I wrote that, though.
It was just one of his unlinked blurbs.

6. Wouldn't such an announcement discourage people from going to the polls?
Qui bono?

7. I clicked it - now I'm blind.
I didn't bother reading anything because their layout just stinks. What is with these right wing freeperish sites and not having any web design sense.

I had a friend who went there and was turned to stone.

8. If it's true, and they ran out of ballots at 1 PM, that must
mean that the turnout is more than double the highest expectation.
It would also mean overwhelming support for Democrats. Wow -- assuming it is true.
