Messing about with Fallout 4 again, of course.
…and it’s not available! Huh. Unless I’m missing it here.

My RedState post on NV/SC turnout.
Found here. Short version: Democrats are having difficulty getting turnout again. The GOP is not.

I laughed so hard it hurt. Of course, I’m a bundle of stress right now. But still.
Yes, yes we can. RT @amanbatheja Can we all agree this is the greatest 3-tweet story in the history of Twitter? pic.twitter.com/qCnDWsUUNs

A short-short-short from Patreon: ‘Bell, Book, and Candle.’
This one might eventually get expanded: I like some of the stuff that I’ve extrapolated from it. Of course, I’d have to explain how it happened, which might be tricky. Hope you like it! 100WS-BBAC

Light posting today.
I am massively behind on a bunch of creative work because my time management this weekend went sideways, thanks largely to politics. And yes, I’m probably more exasperated about that than anything else. I have obligations on some of these.
So… time to go do some work.

What the heck. Can’t be bothered to check if it’s already been done this year and I want to hear it, so there.
South Carolina results.
Well, with 60% of the vote in it’s worse than I’d like, but much better than I feared: Donald Trump with around 33% of the vote, for our sins (although I’d love to know what the hell I did to deserve this guy*). Marco Rubio (who had a good night, compared to New Hampshire) and Ted Cruz (who maybe did not) are battling it out for second. Jeb Bush has bowed out**. John Kasich and Ben Carson will not, and John Kasich and Ben Carson should not be on the next debate stage.
All in all, happy I am not. But I was worried that tonight we’d see Trump at 40%, which would have meant that nothing was going to touch him and I’d be stuck with retiring from political blogging. Because I’m not going to vote for a damned 9/11 Troofer. And I won’t host a site that helps one, either…
But we’ve just started the season.

Polls close in an hour in South Carolina.
We should start seeing results coming in about a half hour, hour after that. For the record, I think we’re going to see the top three candidates be within a few points of each other, with nobody above 30. But guessing the results ahead of time has been a nightmare for better pundits than me.
Anyway: should be interesting! Again, polls will close at 7 PM. Results will be here.

Oh, yeah. Follow @DecisionDeskHQ for the Nevada results.
Found here, and apparently tight as a tick. Very not-exciting indeed, although if Hillary Clinton does lose I probably will laugh. Guess we’ll see…
Quick note on the DEMOCRATIC primary today in Nevada.
Hillary Clinton should win it. Period. That’s the bright line. It doesn’t really matter if Bernie Sanders gets close; he’d need to win outright for it to matter in the larger meta-narrative.
So if Bernie Sanders does win, it’s big news. If he doesn’t, it’s not. Simple as that, really.
