Ah, and you thought voting analysis was over!

This from Nate Silver via Bob Cesca via Political Carnival (it’s complex, this blogging world):

“Here’s an impressive-sounding statistic, even if it’s mostly an artifact of population growth. Barack Obama’s victory margin from November 4th now stands at 9,124,522 votes, and will probably grow a bit more once states like Illinois, New York and California finalize their counts.

This is the 6th largest victory margin of all time, and the largest ever by a non-incumbent.”

A night to remember

The incomparable Jed Lewison has made a 10-minute compilation video of the election night coverage. It’s great – and I’m tearing up again, partly because for the first time I’ve seen the footage of Joe Biden, and later his wife and mother, joining Obama on stage. I’ve seen so many stills of that moment, but not been able to find video of it until now. Thank you, Jed:

Now, this is just embarrassing…
