2008 Election Redux

It’s a mighty beautiful day in the neighborhood.Â? Even being home with a migraine could not spoil my day.

[+] To all the idiot talking heads on TV: Obama won because he was the choice of the people.? It’s that simple.? I don’t remember a candidate winning by that many electoral votes since Clinton.? It’s not because he promised X or campaigned really hard in Y.? He was the peoples’ choice. Stop batting around conspiracy theories and such.

[+] Just went and looked at the county-by-county results in Minnesota for the election.Â? At least the people in LQP and Swift counties (the area where I used to live) voted correctly.? If I was still there, I wouldn’t have to be embarrassed for my county like I am in Montana.

[+] Speaking of my county, what’s up with you guys?? You couldn’t elect an intelligent woman in the state House race?? You suck.

[+]? Apparently, my dad saw the nasty Elizabeth Dole campaign ad from North Carolina where she cites Hagen receiving money from a group called “Godless America” and accuses her of being an atheist.? This caused my dad to mail the Hagen campaign $25 of “godless money” and makes Dole’s beating a whole lot sweeter.

[+] I’m waiting for the recount in the Minnesota senate race.? This should be a sign of how much Norm Coleman sucks as a senator that Al Franken (a comedian) is kicking his @$$.? It’s so close that they had to go to recount and I’m hoping that Franken comes out of it the winner.? I think he’d do good things for Minnesota.? Coleman only got in because his opponent in 2002 (who would have soundly trounced him) died in a plane crash. Unfortunately, this could drag out until mid-December.
