Have to disagree…so tasty! Very bad for you, but darn tasty when hot!

NED!!!

Buchanan on hardball saying Lieberman should be out if he loses the primary! Never thought I would agree with that wacko!

Some people vote for the dough, some for the hole.

Did Joe actually hold that 5:00 Victory rally?

do-nuts are fat pills

The doughnut represents in visual form the amount of salary the Federal Government will be paying Joe Lieberman by January 7, 2007.

Will you be posting exit polling?

Anyone else notice how Kos and Maxine Waters were on too late to make a difference in the vote?

Everything I’m reading says to me that we’re about to hear the announcement of a landmark moment in American politics. Hamdan, Ralph Reed, Kansas school board…Lamont? 26 years after Reagan in ‘80, could we finally be witnessing the receding of the conservative tide?

I always say I never met a fried dough that I didn’t like!

I am very partial to fried dough in all its forms: doghnuts, beignets, galub jamuns…etc.

mmmm… Krispy Kremes!

Wow.

MSGOP has been repeatedly showing a clip w/RGJoe giving a peace sign throughout the day.

WTF?

I know it doesn’t mean much as far as voting/impression goes on primary day…but I think it’s a hypocritical WTF shot.

What. Ever.

Or… the donut represents the amount Joe spent on webhosting.

I just bought these:

CTBob has pix of the big room and Jesse Jackson in the house.

Mmmmmm… donuts. But please don’t use this metaphor — it’s already owned by Medicare Plan D coverage. My poor aching brain can’t handle metaphor overload.

I think the turnout story in CT is pretty simple — high voter numbers means they feel they have something important to vote on. To me that spells L-A-M-O-N-T.

Hope those donuts means one big turnover (of a Senate seat).

reviser at 14 — add “Delay” to that list

Dunkin Donuts rocks, Krispy Kreme not so much. Too doughy, and they cooked their books to boot.

Well, ya know they make Fried Twinkies in Oklahoma.

I like bear claws. But the best donuts ever are springtime Strawberry Donuts from Donut Man in Glendora, CA… they take a plain cake donut with no hole, like one you’d expect to be filled with frosting or bavarian cream or something, and they slice it totally in half. They load up the bottom half with fresh-picked strawberries that have been sliced in halves or quarters… they pack that thing like 4 inches high with strawberries! and then they stick the other half of the donut back on top, almost as an afterthought.

Yeah, you have to eat it with a fork, but it’s the best donut I’ve ever had.

I actually think that, with some of the Union endorsements, Lieberman might have some bluecollarish edging, not because the people are behind him, but because they are committed to their Unions.

Hopefully, when Ned wins, that releases them to go for the guy who won’t forget that Americans who don’t have much choice but to live off cheap day old donuts need healthcare and educational assistance for themselves and their children and someone who can find something better to do with 10 million/hour than create more terrorists and chaos in Iraq.

My fave donuts were the super lazy, super bad for you ones made by cutting up instant biscuits (some mornings you really looked forward to smacking that cannister on the corner of the counter) dropping them in boiling fat, then shaking them in a paper bag with cinnamon and sugar and having them hot, with cheap coffee or if it was really cold and you had already spent a freezing hour in the barn - hot chocolate.

Doughnuts? Bearclaws, strudel…?

I don’t care as long as Ned wins the day.

I’m hoping to break into the champaigne thats been sitting in the frig since Nov ‘04.

Thanks Jane, Christy, Trex, Jamie and all the FDLers in CT for keeping all the rest of us in the loop!

No doughnuts for me, thanks. They make the beer taste funny.

June 23, 2006 — It may be a cardiologist’s worst nightmare — a Black Angus all-beef patty covered in melted cheese, two strips of savory bacon all between a sugary, deep-fried Krispy Kreme donut.

mmmm Krispy Kremes. I used to have to pick up 42 dozen for the continental breakfast we served at the hotel I used work at every Sunday morning because the didn’t deliver. Overwhelming, but I still can’t pass one up.

Lamarr’s in Kansas City . . . with a Ted Drewes Frozen Custard “Concrete” from St. Louis. (Dry ice is a wonderful thing when it’s hot driving down I-70!)

Turks just showed Holy Joe standing next to Barney. Hilarious!

Donuts is empty calories that make ya fat. I hear Krispy Kreme has just opened its first joint in China. Hah! They been killin us tradewise, now we’re gonna start gettin em good.

Go NED!

I was making donuts and now I’m on a bus.
– Zippy

Yum. My favorite donuts came from The Apple House on Skyline Drive in the Shenendoah Valley (I think ) in Virginia. Made to order by mennonite women, whole wheat with cinammon. Those and a gallon of apple cider and a hunk of cheddar made a great lunch. Wonder if it’s still there?

Lieberman’s been in office too long, pure and simple. It’s not a peerage. I look forward to Doolittle, Pombo and Dreier here in CA getting tossed on their keisters in November, too.

ChinChin, as my mom used to say as we touched wine glasses.

Olbermann starting now on the best coast.

Punaise in away on vacation or business - or something or another and hope he is aware of the CT victory we’re all set to celebrate.

Markos coming up on Keith any minute.

OK, it’s time.

immanentize at 22: I’m not even counting all the indictments/resignations/investigations; just the affirmative votes, from the Supremes down to these summer primaries, that suggest a turning point in the oscillating political zeitgeist.

Here’s hoping/wishing/praying/waiting. We should know any minute now…

Ay, *ilson! The bold!

Put me in the Love those Krispy Kremes column. Have one right down the street from my house. Heaven.

Any exit poll data yet? I’ll even take the raw stuff.

I’ve seen a few things about high percentages in some precincts, but not an overall. Ooh. Aren’t the polls closed as of now, too?

This was always the part that I hated–the polls are closed, and now all you can do is wait for the votes to be counted and posted. Link to the CT election board anywhere?

This is the lead story on my local news just now! Mentioned the small crowds for Joe today and Joe whining pitifully about being slimed. Ned looking great surrounded by smiling people. Mentioning the web site BS and about formal complaint, and Ned denying involvement. I thought it had a very positive sping for Lamont, but hey. This is SF!

I know no matter what, Ned will have a very, very classy evening tonight, surrounded by lots and lots of supporters.

That’s it! 8:00! Hooray for Ned!
And now the results, pls :)

Sometimes, I don’t hate it when smartass kids are smarter than me.

peaceout

Lieberman hasn’t represented his home state for years. He’s hardly been in Connecticut since 2000. He has not, as a U.S. Senator, represented his country either, (Iraq). And he certainly has not stood behind his party against the Bush lunatic policies.

As for donuts. I don’t have any. But I do have a couple of cans of buttermilk biscuit dough. And a deep fryer, powdered sugar and cinnamon. Just like we used to make when we were kids. Put a hole in the dough, fry ‘em, and dress them up. Good to go. Ice cold milk and hot donuts. Soon.

Lanny Davis is the new Joe Lieberman. He has handed Bill O’Reilly a new friendly talking point that the left wing is now the premier hate monger group.

Thanks Lanny. Thanks Joe. Thanks for getting the Karl Rove talking points front and center once again.

Not a nutmeg, but my take on Rennie is that a lot of rank and file thought the bosses told them to vote for Joezoe or not at all. It gives them an out with both candidates.
The unions had to be pretty pissed off at ol’Joezoe, but understandably scared about alienating him. There never should have been a primary. All Joezoe had to do was oppose a war of choice instead of leading the fight for it.

Or was that just in Delaware?

CTblog claims they will have some results and Lamont will make a speech at 8:30. They are really having a great time, posting like crazy.)

Okay, I posted this earlier during a very busy point of the day, so I’ll repeat it now.

As a nutmegger my feel is the trend is our friend. The heavy turnout will benefit Lamont.

My son’s five friends just registered to vote for their first time (18/19 year olds) and they’re all voting for Lamont. Given that Bush polls at only a 20% approval rating among 18-24 year olds, the majority of new voters will most likely be siding with Lamont.

Then of the independents who switched to the Dem party to vote in the primary, I have to believe they did this because they want a change not because they want to protect the status quo given that polling numbers show that they overwhelmingly do not support the Iraq war.

Lastly, considering Lamont polled better with the higher education levels and higher income levels, and those polls in such areas are showing high turnout also bodes very well.

They just mentioned Waterbury on MSNBC, the town where Clinton came to stump for Lieberman and a very blue collar town. The reporter sounded almost dismal about the turnout there as well as the absentee ballots which are generally filed by the elderly. It was not good and they presumed this boded very ill for Lieberman.

Lastly, the connection to the black community laid down by Bose Kimber and his association with Al Sharpton, and the addition of Maxine Waters has done much to charge that block of voters for Lamont.

I’m confident. My polling place here in the Mt. Carmel section of Hamden (middle to high income) is also showing an approximate 50% turnout.

My hope is for a total blow-out in favor of Lamont, but I’ll be content with a simple win, too.

You know, it’s funny…

Or maybe it’s a Texas thing…

Or a blue-collar thing…

But most of my co-workers at my unionized shop don’t know who the local, state or national Union folks endorse for any office, much less give a shit. We vote the way we want.

This is what I’ve never understood about endorsements from any organization. They’re like the endorsements in the paper–people might notice what these people say, but it’s not a guarantee of votes.

I can imagine that a LOT of halfway aware union people were wondering WTF was up with their unoin’s endorsing RGJoe, when he demonstrated every day that he was no friend of working class Americans. It’s about then that you wonder if your union “leaders” have an effin’ clue about anything…and if the reason they can’t get shit done for the rank-and-file is because they’re in bed with their corporate masters, like everyone else.

An “elephant ear” is a wrinkly platter of deep-fried dough the size of a dinner plate, thus the name. When I was a kid we used to have them with fruit spread on top, like cherry pie filling. definitely not the same as those apple fritters they sell at starbucks.
