Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
CW news is saying Menendez wins NJ. and fuckin Lieberman wins.
We're spoiler fonting election results?
leave me alone writer lady. I err on the side of caution.
I'm going to risk wrath of the Buffistas and not! So far, looks like the puppy-liking Steele(R) is losing the senate race. Of course, I learned my lesson well in 2000 and will not draw conclusions until all the ballots are accounted for.
Maybe it's the cheap pinot grigio, but I could swear MSNBC's showing Steele(R) losing with 57% of the vote.
Evidently I should switch to whiskey.
