WEB, get your ass over here!

We got an election to cover.

First big race returns are coming from Allen-Webb. Allen leads by 11 points with 11% of precincts reporting.

I moved to Kentucky. I sat the election out.

I endorsed Bill Nelson, however.

I wasn't going to vote for Harris, so I voted for Belinda Noah. She won me over with her stand on the National Sales Tax.

Shit, I just looked at this. I don't believe we are trailing in Florida (for the governor's office) again.

Only 5 of almost 7000 precincts have reported in.

Crist is clearly the superior candidate, IMO.

As for my old district, it's very competitive. Shaw-Klein. Two excellent candidates. Either one will be a great Congressman.

As for my new district, it's also competitive. Yarmuth-Northrup. Both are terrible. Why did I leave Florida?

Belinda Noah for United States Senate

Now we're starting to get results from Connecticut, Ohio, Tennessee, and Missouri. Way too early to draw any conclusions.

Hoping hard for Ford and Lieberman. Lieberman should be able to win easily, but I just heard he's hard to find on the ballot.

Why did you leave Florida, anyway?


Cost of living.
