Young adults – uncomfortable, unemployed, rough around the seams. Seniors – hurting, arthritic, tired. American-Latinos – effusive, intent, maligned. Union workers – ambivalent, worried, passionate. American-Africans – committed, hopeful, disenfranchised. Women – independent, concerned, purposeful. Certain State Governors – calculating, partisan, arrogant. Many Americans – feeling like a Hobson’s choice, disenchanted, worried. Wednesday, November 07, 2012 – Reds 206, unbelieving, angry, blameful. Wednesday, November 07, 2012 – Blues 332, ecstatic, reaffirmed, dedicated. Voting process – Comforting, chaotic, Patriotic. Nate Silver – 100% call, legend, unparalleled. |
