Remember Sinclair Broadcasting? Back in 2004? Sinclair is an extremely rightwing and hackmonious media company that owns stations in media markets around the country. They have a rep for jamming wildly slanted content onto their airwaves in the lead up to the elections. They were the ones who had the bright idea to run a Swift Boat ‘documentary’ on their stations just before the 2004 elections. Because, you know, informing voters and so forth. Well, last night they were up to their tricks again.

I’m starting my last pre-election (or results?) Live Chat at TPMPrime at 4 PM Eastern. Get your questions in now.

A collection of campaign memorabilia from presidential elections past — all 19th and very early 20th century mementos — via Cornell’s Collection of Political Americana. Great stuff.

Turns out the Sinclair Broadcasting hucksters struck in Florida too!

Gonna start here by saying all early exit polls are highly preliminary. Not just the toplines but the demographic and issue questions. So expect these to change. But those early numbers out now point to an electorate that looks like the 2008 electorate in terms of age breakdown, racial breakdown and so forth. The numbers themselves are preliminary and those just give us hints about final results. But this has been one of the big debates of the cycle. Are we looking at a 2004 electorate? 2008? 2010? These extremely preliminary hints point to a 2008 electorate.

One interesting, though not surprising difference, these early numbers say Hispanics have gone from 9% to 10% of the voting electorate.

CNN has the Empire State Building all decked out to declare the winner. Red, white and blue while the contest is in doubt. All red if Romney wins; all blue if Obama prevails.
