Cheered Up

Manchester, N.H.

It turns out the numbers coming into Fox (and I assume to other networks as well), shown on screen during the first couple of hours after the polls closed tonight, were incorrect as to the likely percentage of the total vote represented by the vote that was then in. So when I did some rudimentary math, and said on the air that it seemed overall turnout would be down, and that Mitt Romney might not exceed his 2008 actual vote total, I was wrong. Overall GOP turnout now looks to be up some, and Romney’s total vote will be considerably higher than in 2008.
