I love that about Bernie.

I bring the news that when George Washington ran for the Virginia legislature in 1758, over 50% of his recorded expenses were for booze.

When I lived in Pennsylvania, bars were closed on election day, so the parties couldn't just round up the drunks and buy their votes for the cost of a drink.

when George Washington ran for the Virginia legislature in 1758, over 50% of his recorded expenses were for booze.

When he was General of the US Army, he didn't draw a salary. But he did submit an infamous expense account to Congress afterwards.

CNN is calling Santorum is out.

The guest house we're in has only an ancient little tv (with a dozen or so channel buttons with fixed channel numbers on them!) so I fiddled with the rabbit ears and managed to come up with some NBC coverage. So no TDS for me, bummer.

But I'm happy, 'cause at least I have sporadic broadband. Yay for internets in rural areas.

Oh, I forgot! When I got to the polls, there was a group of about 10 people waving signs for the Democratic candidates. They shouted "Vote Democrat!" as I walked by. I shouted back "Not a problem." Then I saw this lone guy with an Ehrlich shirt and signs. All by his lonesome. But it made me happy, seeing someone making an effort in such a blue precinct. Someone who gave a damned enough to stand out there, all alone, as wrongheaded as I might think he was. When I left, I walked by him and thanked him for being there. I swear to god, democracy in action makes me a mushy sap. Mr. Smith indoctrinated me well.

Good one, amych. About fucking time.

From CQ Politics [link] :

Democrat John Yarmuth has defeated Republican Rep. Anne M. Northup in Kentucky's 3rd District. This is a big one: Other Democratic pickups tonight have been expected, but we had this race ranked Leans Republican. This is also the first of our bellwether races to be decided.

I be voted and hopeful.
