Adding to the mystery of the missing Alaskan voters, there was the fact that the poll predictions were wrong.

All camps -- Stevens and Begich in the Senate race, and Don Young and Ethan Berkowitz in one of the House races with the strangest results -- are still at work. It feels like 2000 Bush-Gore around here.

Palin told Greta that she couldn't have banned Harry Potter books as mayor of Wasilla because "Harry Potter had not been written yet." However, there were additions to the series in that period.

We have had a virtual news blackout on what is going on in the two states we're waiting for -- Missouri's presidential results, and Alaska's senatorial results. Here is what I managed to find out.

Randy Scheunemann always struck me as someone whose views of the world were too sketchy and scary to be taken seriously. It is fitting that he and Sarah Palin found each other.

Alaska needs an election autopsy STAT. This year's turnout was smaller than the election of 2004 by 6.1%. I would have to smoke more than salmon to believe that Alaska, with Palin on the ballot, decided to sit this one out.
