Yeah, I pretty much place the blame of the robocall on a 3rd party with no fucking sense of decency or concept of citizenship. It was so fucking shady. I dislike Ehrlich A LOT, but this sort of thing is campaign suicide.
Lord, and if it was targetted at the city particularly? Ugly, ugly, ugly.
lisah, I met Mary W. at one of my next door neighbor's dinner parties. They'd been neighbors for a while, but never knew it until they got assigned to the same beat in VA campaigning for Obama. She's just so genuine. I honestly think she could out represent Mary Pat in the long term. Cracks me up I see her almost every week at the market.
DJ, I'm so sorry.
I found out about a kid who went to my grade school who collapsed at a Norfolk navel base and died. He was only 39. So strange.
I'm trying to dispassionately follow election results but that's not working.
Lord, and if it was targetted at the city particularly? Ugly, ugly, ugly.
I don't think it was. WTOP reported that the calls were received state-wide. Still ugly as hell though.
A bright spot to my day: I wrote a short piece for my MOMS Club newsletter and one of the women emailed me to tell me it really hit home for her. That feels good.
Now, if Russ Feingold can hang onto his Senate seat, my night will be complete.
Anyone bring out the hard booze yet?
I knew it wouldn't be a heartening election, but I have to say I was surprised that (a) Pelosi lost her seat and (b) Rand Paul got elected.
I'm pretty sure Pelosi is not losing her seat, although I assume she is losing the speakership.
Jilli is at the top!
I hope it works this time.
Nice, Cash.
They have declared that the Governor's seat has gone to the Democratic candidate. The senate race is still too close to call, but the Democratic candidate is leading there (please, oh please, oh please - the Repub is repugnant).
Oh, and the Amendment to the Colorado constitution to declare a "person" as starting at conception is looking to be defeated.
Ah, megan. That's what I get for trying to draw a garden plan with C-SPAN running in the background. I heard it as her losing rather than just losing the Speaker role.
