No Surprises

So apparently there was an election today?

As so often, Randall Munroe of XKCD gets to the point:

Props to Nate Silver, Sam Wang and especially Drew Linzer, who's been predicting this outcome since June.  Scorn to the media pundits and conservative bloggers who attacked Nate Silver for the temerity to suggest Obama was ahead on the basis that the polls showed Obama was ahead.  Relief for me, that my USAlien friends can live in a country that is still at least partly sane.
