I just wanted to give thanks to all of you for today's thread. These days, I usually am only able to log on about 8:00 PM, and it takes me quite a while to read through the whole thing (400+ posts?!) however, I learn so much more here than I learn anywhere else.

Jane, I just have one comment about the FL primary. It really concerns me that Gov. Bush decided to keep the polls open because of the "confusion" at the polls. Having a lawsuit ready to keep the polls open, was a tactic that the RATS used in St. Louis in election 2000. In the latest election involving the city of St. Louis, we had news reports of many polling places not being open on time, because some of the poll workers showed up late to open the polls. What would be the remedy for that, you ask? Why we must keep the polls open longer....... This is NOT a good precedent to set, regardless if it is a RAT primary or not.

Oh shoot, I forgot to add one last thing.

I'm counting on you all to capture everything that happens tomorrow. I will be away from the house and most news media all day tomorrow......I will most likely miss the President's address tomorrow night..... :(

Keeping the polls open concerns me also. The stupid Dems are winners in that regard, no matter what. If Gov Bush hadn't decided to keep the polls open, there would have been hell to pay by the media and the whiny voters and the Dems. And by keeping the polls open, there is a precedent set. I wonder if there are laws in Florida governing the time of opening and closing the polls...

Reno sued to keep the polls open in just 4 counties. Bush made it statewide.
