Reality: some things I would prefer not to know but need to
Reaction: scared is an understatement, i'm not really big on action but knowing the reality and writing about it requires one to at least ATTEMPT to act.
I know that you are torn today. I know that you are not sure whether to smile or cry, turn on the TV or get a cup of coffee. Today was supposed to be your day but as fate would have it, it is not. So do this Go to the movies
Watch Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants and High School Musical Three remember your childhood remember your beginnings
call your girlfriends and just chill do chick flicks today
and then around 11pm turn on the TV to watch a man do what a man has always done, and as you watch and tears stream down your face, remember remember who you are.
Let us not forget I remember the brief presidential run of Tommy Thompson and Dick Something Durban Despite my council the Mayor put all his eggs in a floridian swiftboat that never left Cuba.
Romney could not overcome the prejudice of the ignorant despite his good lucks and money McCain had soo many combacks that I have officially dumbed him the comback kid and today he might suprise us again. Who is Sarah Palin 4 more ago I had never heard of her now I am sick of her because she has destroyed and splintered my party. sniffle sniffle
Al Gore: followed instructions and keep his nobel prize winning gut out of the race and Hillary made 18 million dents in the glass ceiling for my unborn grand daughter named after mii Obama won in Iowa, I was like WHAT. Don't you remember the speech and the night
John Edwards cheated on his wife, spent money on his hair and lost again. Dennis K is my favorite congressman from Ohio who defied expectations for a time until he had to succumb to campaign financing issues.
No no no we cannot forget Mike Gravel ooooooooooooooo, my fave retired senator from Alaska who schooled the other Dems every time he was on the stage, of course he did have some very weird TV ads.
Biden babyyyyyyyyyyyy: it still breaks my heart that you are not at the top of the ticket but at least you have not compromised one second your integrity and virtue and for that you are a hall of famer in my book
Mick Huckabee: whew thanks for getting out when you did because if you didn't we would be lost. Of course all that was forgotten the moment shecame on the stage and caused division with her lipstick.
Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Chuck Hagel mercy the list goes on I miss you guys
There is one president There are 50 Governors There are 100 Senators There are 435 Congresspeople
There are more up for grabs but these are the ones that look like they are going switch or at least present a close race today
Georgia Virginia Minnesota: Al Franken (yes the radio show host) is taking on incumbent Norm Coleman (R) Colorado New Mexico: Mississippi New Hampshire: this popular swing state has former governor J. Shaheen challenging incumbent John Sununu for his seat. If she wins she will be the 17 woman in the Senate. North Carolina: incumbent Elizabeth Dole (R) is in a tight race with Kay Hagan. It really doesn't matter who wins we still get a lady in the room but if Dole loses her sit, Democrats will increase their narrow majority. Oregon: Smith (R) needs to keep his narrow lead over Jeff Merkeley who defeated the Obama supported Steve Norvick in the primary. Alaska: Ted Stevens (R) who was recently convicted of corruption charges and who will turn 85 this month has decided to stay in the race despite his recent conviction which could carry jail time (yeah right)
My predictions Hmmmm okay Democrats take at least 4 out of the 10. The minority and first time turn out voters in some of the traditionally red states will make it hard for the Republicans to hold on to all seats. If they are lucky Alaska will kick out Teddy.
Georgia is close but I think I am more likely to put my money on Colorado and the green state of Oregon. North Carolina is a female free for all but with the religion bashing campaign ads I really don't know if the Dems. can put a dent in the Republican armor here. But then with all the hate i think the Democrats should win, i mean using a person religion, calling her a heathen.
New Mexico is another one that I will be watching closely all night, the minority vote will help the Dems. esp. the Hispanic vote on issues such as Immigration but then there is a lot of ground that still needs to be covered.
Okay i can go on and on but final word Oregon, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Mexico and maybe North Carolina, Alaska and Virginia so yeah 4 for sure and maybe 6 or a stretch to 7. that puts the Dems at a 56 set majority if the 2 independents caucus they have 58. okay that's it
After following this presidential race for almost two years we are finally here. I remember when I first started this blog and the countdown days were in the 500.
Okay so here we go.
This isn't just about the Prez position We have other seats at stake and I will keep you posted as the day goes by.
so tomorrow every 2 hours i will post a blog because after that this whole 18 month process comes to a screeching halt and i might have to cry but yeah so tune in tomorrow and just in case you haven't voted already
go and vote oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i really don't care who you vote for cuz in the long run it doesn't matter but yeah do that if you can or haven't enjoy this video
the world is focused on this election but the day before and the day after this election
a child will still die every 3 seconds as a result of hunger related issues a 12 year old girl will sell her body to feed her siblings a young mother will watch her child die of HIV
