#1 The media have been hailing the inevitability of Obama ever since Iowa.

Wait, I thought Hillary was the inevitable one. I really need to keep up.

#2 Sounds good, but I don't believe it.

What I do believe is that, if we're not all marching in party rallies in support of Fearless Leader in two years -- at the behest of our block coordinators -- the next four years are going to create quite a few new republicans. Hopefully that'll translate into more Republicans in 2012.

#3 I just voted. HEAVY turnout. On the ballot, the names were in alphabetical order: McCain, McKinney(!), Nader and down the page and dead last was Obama. I actively had to search it out to find it. McCain was easy; He was #1!

#5 My Californicate ballot list Keyes, Nader, Obama, Barr, McCain, and McKinney in that order.

Obama is listed as Democratic/Democrata and McCain is listed as Republican/Republicano. Of course, Mckinney is listed as Green/Verde.

It's interesting that Obama's party affiliation is listed as Democratic not Democrat. I'm surprised they didn't use a small "d".

#6 No problems in Southwest Ohio. Pop over to the O Club, they're serving the good stuff while we await results. :-)

#7 Results in at 10:00 Eastern. Pennsy & Ohio for Bambi. No way for John Boy to hit 270 now. Gains for Dummos in both House & Senate. Oh boy, fasten your seat belts. Now snug them up real tight, until you can barely breath. Lotsa good stuff coming. Look for a BIG health care bill coming out of the barn door first. Maybe second, after another larger "stimulus" package. Health care sheparded by Fat Ted. A gift and Memorial to him before he fades away. Say single payer in disguise. Long lines, here we come. If you're religious say a prayer. If not, just knock yourself in the head with a ball bat. I count on the Dummos to go apeshit and overplay their hand for two years just like under HillBilly. But it will be a looong two years.
