The BBC just said the Republican stronghold in VA have been reported and the large numbers needed in the rural area are not there.

Apparently Virginians are now all Communists. Who knew?

After a few of these I wanted to shout at the t.v.

NBC calls Texas for McCain!
Geez, Why don’t they just predict the sun will come up tomorrow?

However, I must add there were a few deep deep Red states which showed a little tinge of blue around the edges and their percentage wasn’t quite as high as it was with Reagan & Bush.

what is vermont’s history?

It was a Spanish colony until 1923 when it was sold to Russia. At the time of the Russian Revolution we liberated it.

Don’t forget that it was overrun by snakes in 1903 and nobody lived there for about 5 years (everyone was afraid of walking on snakes, dontcha know).

Wicked place.

West Virginia for McCain

I don’t know how they’re doing it, but I feel certain Repubs are stealing the state. We elected a Dem governor with 70% and yet McCain (R) is also given the state? Something is odd.

Also, for the first time ever, my mother had trouble voting on the touch-screen machine. She had to vote for Obama about 3 or 4 times to get it to stick. She was very upset and embarrassed at taking so long to vote. The election officials there just told her she wasn’t pressing the screen correctly (too hard or too light or something).

Of course we’re using the ES&S machines which are bad.

Apparently Senate Democrats are not happy with Rape Gurney Joe’s words about President-Elect Obama in St. Paul.

I am sorry that it looks as if my state will be sending Norm Coleman and Michelle Bachmann forth to stand as stumbling stones in the way of that future; but if these small minds are in anyway useful in honing the promise President Obama brings, then I will abide.

Nothing can tarnish this day, really. I told my son, this morning, this is the greatest day of your young life. I wasn’t wrong.
