Obama's pulling away in the "precincts reporting" thingie... he's ahead by about 2.7%.
Like any of that's enough to fight the Dark Master. Bator.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sorry to be all upset and a downer...I just thought this might work out after all, and I'm having to talk myself into keeping up the fight.
ETA it's not as grim as that sounds. Giving up would just be saying, "Oh well, I'll never be published, I'll never be out of debt, and I'll never have a good job, so I'll just stop trying to make things better and just accept that authorship, home ownership, ever getting back to Europe, and a retirement where I'm not a half-starved cat lady are not in my cards." Keeping up the fight=refusing to live a life of quite desperation.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Caucus watch & post!
{{{Susan}}} Just remember, it doesn't have to be an all or nothing solution. Do what you can to pay off the cards with the highest rates (via the loan) and chip away a the other ones. It will be better than nothing and maybe after a few months, when you can see progress, you'll feel better about your options.
Good news of the day: the home warranty people are going to pay for our $1K in furnace repairs.
Bad news of the day: the cat has worms.
It's a push.

CNN is projecting Huckabee on the GOP side.

God. Huckabee.
Ugh.

Well, it's not like there's a non-ugh option on that side...
What's REALLY interesting, IMHO, is that Hillary is in 3rd so far, though it's still too close to call between her and Edwards.

The Democrat portion is narrow all around, so I'm not that impressed by Obama winning. Huckabee coming out that far ahead is interesting, because front runners at this stage often crash and burn. Plus I think the rest of the country looks at Huckabee, thinks Presidency, and laughs.

These are the GOP voters who showed up:
A third are over 65, and nearly 75 percent are over the age of 45... The numbers also show a heavy turnout amongst evangelical Christians — over 60 percent.
