I dunno. It could all be over by dinner time on the left coast or it could
go until 4AM. One or the other. Whatever I make, I'll keep the leftovers
to kick off Election 2012!!!!! Starting promptly on November 5.

Who do you think the candidates will be?

My poll site isn't large, either, in terms of the number
of people who vote there. I might walk over because parking
at the school is likely to be more problematic than anything.

There were *huge* lines at my local library branch and at many others
througout the city of Chicago, hours - long waits. It's good to see
"democracy in action"...about 800K folks voted early in the state of
Illannoy IIRC.

Early voting should be made mandatory in all states...

I think you're right. We're down so far we have to look up to see the
bottom, but we'll persevere and get through it.

I'll be relieved to have a new president, no matter who it is - but
I'd feel a lot better about McCain if he hadn't chosen that whack job
Palin as a running mate.

Or at least made easier. California has cleverly hidden the
information for years. Making early voting impossible, hard or having
it but hiding it is just another form of voter suppression.

I only found out last week where the one and only early voting place
in my city is located after (mumble, mumble) years of being a
registered voter. They *don't* want people to vote early around here
or else they'd advertise the location. I'd also like to see more
early voting polling places set up all over the city. There should be
at least one place to vote early in every Supervisorial district.

Why would CA want to do that? I thought it was a "bellweather" state in
many ways, I guess in this particular case they are behind the times. Heck
I'd think stuff like even *drive - up* voting would be de rigeur in CA by
now...

Just curious, why do you consider Palin to be a Whack job? I've
listened to some radio interviews with her, and she seems to be pretty
bright.

You know I'm always up for other opinions.

All I did was call city hall to find the locations. The clerk answering

I think we're all grown up enough to know that a new president can't
be a messiah... until or unless he can dig us out of the present hole
that we and our grandchildren will be paying off.

Most of us are prepared to grab onto the handle bars and ride it out.

It's a bellwether state because of sheer numbers, Greg. Nobody would

say: Alaska.

>I guess in this particular case they are behind the times.

Perpetually. Ever since Governor Regan in fact. Our
college/university system is in shambles now. We were very
progressive in making higher education affordable to all residents.
Not anymore. *I* have to think twice about if I want to take courses
for credit or not, because although CCSF is reasonable, SFSU isn't.
Living literally a few blocks away from both makes it all the sadder.

I'd settle for a paradigm like Nevada's, which is well publicized and
plentiful.

You're lucky to have even one in your city. Most cities don't. There's
only one PER COUNTY. The only reason you have one in your city, is that
it's not just the only city in the county, the city limits are the same
as the county limits.

On George Stephanopoulos' (sp?) show this morning, George Will declared that
all eyes should be on Virginia. If Virginia goes to Obamea, sayeth he, so
goes the rest of the country.

I'm planning on having a bottle of champagne here. I'll either be wildly
celebrating an Obama win, or drowning my sorrows.

I loved Bill Maher's take on Sarah Palin's qualifications to be Veep. He
said that the Veep has 4 duties: to enrich friends, start wars, subvert the
constitution and shoot friends in the face.

Smart ass. You know my budget too well :-> OK already, it'll be sparkling

I've been invited to the state Democratic party's soiree at the
Biltmore. I've already advised my employer that I'll be late on Tuesday
and Wednesday.

It'll be finger food and champagne.

I've already stated my objections to her before. At the very top of
my list is her "Creationist" POV (basically anti-modern science),
second is her "Right to Life" position meaning *no choices* for
anyone. Let people like her get a foothold in American national
politics and we're even closer to having a government like what we
claim to be fighting against. Islam has their Imams. We have the
leaders of our conservative Christian coalition. They are very close
in ideologies. Think about it.

She doesn't even understand the VPs only role is to serve as President
of the Senate and the most important thing a VP does is cast a vote in
the event of a tie. A VP is *not* a policy maker (which she wants to
be). A VP can be an influence peddler, which can then affect
policy... but there is no direct policy making role and the office
should never have that kind of power.

She is also point dog in the Obama smear campaign - which insinuates
that Obama is a Muslim, not a Christian (christian good - muslim bad),
by virtue of his middle name and tries to link Obama with terrorism by
insinuating he "pals around" (smear campaign words) with a washed up
terrorist named Bill Ayers, the man who co-founded the Weather
Underground and is now a professor of education at the University of
Illinois, Chicago. According to published reports, in 1995 Bill Ayers
received a $50 million grant from The Annenberg Foundation to match
local private funds for improving schools in Chicago. Barak Obama was
asked to serve as the board chairman of the Annenberg Challenge
Project.

Repeating. Until last week - after being a registered and active
voter since age 21, I just found out that we have *real* "early
voting" vs. mail in ballots. IMO, they weren't going out of their way
to inform voters of that option in the past and didn't do it this year
either. As I said before. There is only ONE early voting place here
and that's at City Hall. We have 11 supervisorial districts and I
think there should be at least one early voting spot in each one.

True, we are the city and county of San Francisco but you made my
point even clearer. California makes it *very* hard for people to
vote early by severely limiting the number of places they can do it
and (even worse) not advertising early voting as an option, which is a
form of voter suppression IMO.

On election night, my daughter and I watched the results in her living
room, after eating a veggie pizza I had made:

pesto to coat the crust
red and green pepper, chopped fine
crumbled goat's milk cheese
pignoli to taste

I made the pesto from fresh basil leaves, oil, and garlic.

Luckily, Harper did not get a majority (in keeping with my "need" for
political content).
