The 538 poll column gives Obama a 91.6% chance of winning the electoral college and 50.6% of the popular vote. \u00a0As the Wiccans say, “Blessed be.” \u00a0and “So mote it be.”<\/p>\n

Election Day, November, 1884<\/div>\n

If I should need to name, O Western World, your<\/p>\n

powerfulest scene and show,
\n‘Twould not be you, Niagara–nor you, ye limitless<\/p>\n

prairies–nor your huge rifts of canyons, Colorado,
\nNor you, Yosemite–nor Yellowstone, with all its<\/p>\n

spasmic geyser-loops ascending to the skies,<\/p>\n

appearing and disappearing,
\nNor Oregon’s white cones–nor Huron’s belt of mighty<\/p>\n

lakes–nor Mississippi’s stream:
\n–This seething hemisphere’s humanity, as now,<\/p>\n

I’d name–the still small voice<\/em>\u00a0vibrating–America’s<\/p>\n

choosing day,
\n(The heart of it not in the chosen–the act itself the<\/p>\n

main, the quadriennial choosing,)
\nThe stretch of North and South arous’d–sea-board<\/p>\n

and inland–Texas to Maine–the Prairie States–<\/p>\n

Vermont, Virginia, California,
\nThe final ballot-shower from East to West–the<\/p>\n

paradox and conflict,
\nThe countless snow-flakes falling–(a swordless<\/p>\n

conflict,
\nYet more than all Rome’s wars of old, or modern<\/p>\n

Napoleon’s:) the peaceful choice of all,
\nOr good or ill humanity–welcoming the darker<\/p>\n

odds, the dross:
\n–Foams and ferments the wine? it serves to<\/p>\n

purify–while the heart pants, life glows:
\nThese stormy gusts and winds waft precious ships,
\nSwell’d Washington’s, Jefferson’s, Lincoln’s sails.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
