Never did a vanity before. Sorry. But I do have a question.

There are more than 150 people registered as write-in candidates, *including* Joe Miller and the Rat candidate, McAdams.

You sure about Miller?

And in CA we can't even smoke pot to get through it. Boy, if it weren't for my husband's really great job and being in Santa Barbara.......we would be outa here. Did you hear Brown's speech last night, if I were a betting woman I would say he suffers from dementia.

"MN-8, looks like it went from Democrat to Republican."

It most certainly did - got rid of Oberstar who has been stinking up the place since 1975!

Buck lost? Wow, my CO family were excited because they said he was leading, but that was last night.

Here is the list, right from the State of Alaska Division of Elections itself:

Not condemning, I just never figured you for a pot smoker.

Ok, I retract what I just said. In 1987 when I was having chemo for ovarian cancer some friends gave me pot because I was really sick. They were being kind. I tried it. Got really high but was still sick, harder to deal with being sick when you are high. So never again.

not sure yet

but one thing is clear:

Our women are much much prettier than their's...and that matters to me. It's inspiring. It's a telling comparison.

Brown has always been a brain addled loser. It’s only got to be worse with the years he’s got on him. Funny how the media made John McCain’s age an issue when he ran for president, but it never came up with Jerry Brown. Granted being president is a more taxing job than governor, but the next governor here has huge challenges and this guy seems like too much of an airhead to handle them.

As for leaving the state, I am as soon as my aging father passes away and no longer needs me here. Last night sealed the deal for me.

Last I heard it was 62 House and 6 Senate, with a couple of House seats and two Senate seats to go.

Any write-ins for Miller and McAdams get pitched since both were on the ballot and not on the write-in list.

What about Alaska? Almost 90,000 write-ins? Any analysis of how they will probably break. Hard to believe that Mur. is going to get most of them.


They aren’t scheduled to begin opening them until Nov. 18, if it becomes necessary to do so. If Miller or McAdams could win outright then they’ll not be opened/counted.

I’m actually more interested in the percentage of wins.

The house had all seats running, but not all states had senate and gubernatorial races.

So even though on a strict seat count, the house sounds like the big win by picking up 60 seats, repubs did worse w/the house on a percentage basis. Below are my tallies of the percent of races won by repubs:

House - 53%
Senate - 65%
Gov - 66%

House doesn’t look as good now does it?

No, what it’s all about is control of the house. As the majority they control the committee chairs and the agenda.

My comment on this would be “who controls the house now, repubs or dems?”

Since it is now in Repub hands I would have to disagree with your statement. It looks damn good.
