the highway dept has been removing Haleys signs and only Hales signs all week. We need another highway commisioner,hope Caldwell wins. No results yet and the polls have been closed for half an hour.

I am in Alcorn County. The voters were out like I have never seen before. There was a very nasty race between a black NAACP/ACLU, Union, Trial Lawyer,liberal Democrat and the current President protempore that switched from the Democrat party with Tuck and others. I can't predict squat.

Was just mentioning that the radio media has been silent about the elections all day. No exit polls, no nothing. Told him that means the republicans are ahead.

Not five minutes later they announced that Kentucky has a republican governor. LOL.....BUT that Philadelphia has an important race too! LOLOLOL

[wylenetheconservative]

Yep. I'll post it as soon as my friend up there tells me. As of now, I haven't heard diddly.

Powell is probably out. Rice will probably be the SOS. Bush had originally asked Sam Nunn (Sen.(D) GA) to be Sec. of Defense, but he turned him down for the private sector. If Zell was Sec. of Defense. Defense would be off the table for Democrats.

[Fledermaus]

Boy, I'm glad Nunn said no. Hopefully, Rice will be the next VP.

[al_again]

8:35 and we're all still waiting - hittin my refresh key....

[afuturegovernor]

Actually I think Zell Miller is wanting for be the head of a "Democrats for Bush" organization.

[onyx]

AAAAAH, I'm starting to feel sick. Going to cabinet for bourbon. Wish we had some.

[blam]

"8:35 and we're all still waiting - hittin my refresh key...."

Yup, same here.

He was on with Britt Hume earlier and said no to this. He is leaving to retire. He said he would not even be in the Senate now, if Cloverdale had not died.

[nicmarlo]

Okay, all.....how's this race going???? (I'm in NY here, but would love to hear about another Pubbie winning for governor this year!)

Gee, if a Republican is elected Governor in Mississippi, do you think the Rats will say it's for the same reason that Schwarzeneger was elected? (Everyone's mad a Bush, so they elected a Republican.)

[WKB]

The best we can do is wait for the first scroll on the TV

[wylenetheconservative]

Anyone got any numbers on Philly mayor's race?

[dixiechick2000]

This is really strange. I just checked TV, and zilch.

[So Cal Rocket]

FYI... the front page article at CBSnews.com reads:

In one of the nation's most closely watched elections, Kentucky elected its first Republican governor in 32 years, Rep. Ernie Fletcher. The GOP hopes to steal another state house in Mississippi in the off-year races.

No liberal bias at CBS now, is there?

[Kahuna]

Think I see Haley's comet? LOL

[Fledermaus]

No need...it's going to be a blowout for the corrupt Mayor.

[Magnolia]

Told him that means the republicans are ahead.

Isn't that the way it is throughout the country...lol!

All of you are doing a great job keeping us who live out of state informed. Thanks!

[votelife]
