I recall when Biden was elected to the Senate in 1972 (when I was still in high school.) Now I’m old enough for Medicare.
The Chinese pronounce Biden’s name as “bai deng”. This means something like, “a long wait for nothing”. Of course without the Senate, he won’t be able to get his program through Congress.
PS. Nate Silver now says the popular vote margin may rise up to 5%, which will make the Electoral College bias even larger than I forecast. Wisconsin still looks like the tipping point state, with a 0.6% margin. That’s depressing news for Dems. Going forward, the GOP strategy should be to lose the popular vote by 5 million votes (3%).
There are more than 10 million votes still to be counted. What a disgrace.
