I just wanted to see that in lights…

Use this as an open thread to discuss election returns. If you want. If you dare.

  1. and I honestly can’t see that today was particularly super.  It was actually kind of blah.  

  2. The dream isn’t dead 😉

  3. system here in MN where we “caucus.” But on the presidential race we cast a “straw ballot” that is binding on the delegate distribution. Since I don’t have a preference between the two (Cerisi and Franken) who are fighting it out for the Dem endorsement to take on Norm Coleman, my friend and I went early, cast our straw ballot and left.

    I live in the area of the Twin Cities that generally has the highest voter turnout in a state that generally ranks up there as well. I can tell you that as we left the caucus site – it was a traffic nightmare of people arriving. Four years ago my precinct meeting was in a school classroom and this year we were in a cafeteria.

    The turnout looks absofuckinglutely overwhelming to me.  

  4. of George Bush might turn out to be the Democratic Party’s renaissance.

    I’d hate to give him credit for anything.

    And the cost . . . too high.

    Nope . . . Bush leaves no legacy but death and ruin.

    Please?  

  5. There seems to be a certain bandwagon quality to the Obama campaign, now especially, since Edwards suspended his campaign. So, I’m reminded of the Mickey Mouse Club Song with Hillary Clinton in the role of Donald Duck. So for your Super Duper Tuesday singing pleasure… the song that’s I’ve been humming for the past couple days.

    I kid. Hopefully this isn’t offensive to y’all. Anyway, I still think the Democratic Party will have their candidate way before my time to vote comes along in May.

    for the evening.  Tomorrow morning will tell the tonight’s tale, although I suspect both camps will declare victory.  @;-)

    And now you know why I don’t comment when I am this doped up…
