Ever since I got on-line a while ago the whole internet has been slow ...... not just FR. I'm guessing there has never been this much traffic on it before. At least I'm hoping it's that and not some kind of attack or sabotage. But even non-political sites like the Weather Channel have been slow.

What's with the NC Senate race??? I don't know if I can stand it or not if the 'rat wins!!! ARGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Everybody PRAY!!!

I'm hoping the exit polls are a repeat of 2000, that is, VNS has them WRONG, called for the dems when the Republicans are winning.

Well, for what it's worth, they are saying that GOP voters use the 'early voting' system more than the Rats do, so exit polls don't tell the whole story, esp. if there are something like 250,000 votes int he 'early' system, like they are saying...

(I can't stand the thought of a Sen. Bowelmovement either...)

I've been incommunicado all day. What's been going on? Aren't the polls closing in the east coast?

One of our part-time employees is a precinct worker (chief judge, I think). In NC the party of the governor is in charge of elections in each precinct so I have known that meant that she is registered as a Dem.

..... She called about something last night and we were talking about the fact that she would be off this evening because of working at the polls. This lady is one-of-a-kind ..... she's 69 years old and one of our spunkiest, most energetic workers ..... is a no-nonsense type with a marvelous sense of humor. Just a pure delight ..... and a dream of an employee!

..... it has surprised me that she's a Dem ..... she just doesn't seem the type. Last night I tip-toed into a political discussion, simply out of curiosity. She told me that the reason she stays registered as a Dem is to keep her precinct job. Then she started talking about the Senate race and couldn't even think of the name of the 'rat candidate.

..... I told her I wasn't about to remind her of the name ...... *grins*

Turns out the precaution on my part wasn't necessary. Apparently she wouldn't touch him with the proverbial 10-foot-pole ...... hehehe! I mentioned something about him being former chief-of-staff to x42 and she made a very snide remark about that.

I think I can safely say that at least one Dem in NC voted for Dole ..... though I wouldn't dare outright ask.

Also .... last night I finally got my call from President Bush. I was beginning to wonder why I hadn't been called yet ....... *grins*

Went to get my hair cut this morning and right as I got there another customer was talking about her call from him.

There was pretty heavy turnout when we voted late this morning. It was just beginning to rain so I don't know what that did to the turnout for the rest of the day.
