I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Ohio. For sure.

Obama's strategy had been to attempt re-election without OH. They thought OH might be dead to them after 2010 elections. Then the economy started coming back and the auto industry bailout and they saw an opportunity and grabbed it.

Because books.

Ginger, that sounds great. I'll email your profile address later, if that's good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aha. Thanks.

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

Wow, Romney's ORCA program (that was to track voting for GOTV work for his volunteers) is really getting a lot of coverage. Here's another.

I think university CS departments will teach this for years as a "what not to do" when rolling out critical new software.

That's fine, Amy.

Perhaps the ORCA creators can teach "what not to do," since I assume they'll be unemployed soon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

It is named ORCA? Like the whale?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Note, (for above discussion): Presidential campaign accounts (and perhaps those for Senate and House) remain "open" for 2 years so that various expenses can be paid, etc. There was no need to cut off credit cards on election day.

Like the whale?

This whale, obviously.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I've been paying too much attention to government/potical news lately. I just sat looking at the word LOTUS for a couple of minutes trying to figure out what the "L" stood for. Legislature? No one uses that right?

No, sometimes words in all caps are still words and not acronyms, self.
