The keepers of the IREY/Murtha ping list, in order to keep as many of our fellow freepers informed as possible, are proud to announce the kickoff of DIANA IREY COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY #II-DAILY NEWS.
Here you will continue to find the reason of the day why Jack Murtha refuses to debate Diana Irey provided by Diana's own website!
In addition, we have added many new features as the Countdown has evolved.
Look for the IREY FUNNIES, IREY DIARY, great pictures and graphics and so much more!
We have had wonderful support and interest in the original DIANA IREY COUNTDOWN TO VICTORY THREAD and we encourage all to visit it if you missed it the first time around.
Also, please stop by daily to our new thread to cheer Diana on and enjoy the fun with your fellow freepers!
The pictures are ready for the Big Donkey Stomp!!!!....They are good!....They will be Super Good when she wins Tuesday!!.....
I'll be at a polling place just like Smoothie, somewhere in the 12th District of PA. So you will get no news from me unless I can check in from my phone.
ON TO VICTORY!
Like W04Man says, I will be at a polling place this morning. Should be back at hq around 1-1:30 this afternoon. Hope to have time to check in here then.
So many great posts! Here, I'll add a loud but humble and thankful AMEN.
Good Morning! Godspeed today!
Amen.
Morning, freema! Eagles up and at'em!
Here's how the weather looks in the district at this hour: Cloudy, 44F, Humidity: 52%
Wind:from the SE at 2 mph, Barometer: 30.18in
Chances are, it won't be until late tonight, EST.
I found this article at the Wall Street Journal that some people might find useful ...
Following the Election Returns
This year the networks say they are guarding their exit poll results as if they were crown jewels. The results will be delivered to a "quarantine room," access to which will be granted to only two staffers from each network and wire service, who must surrender all cell phones, BlackBerrys and similar devices before entering the room. Such precautions are designed to prevent preliminary results, often wrong in 2000 and 2004, from being posted on Web sites like the Drudge Report.
Only at 5 p.m. will the occupants of the quarantine room be allowed to reveal the exit polls to their bosses. The networks claim to have completely revamped their exit-poll methodology, which in 2004 had surveys in which the results, collected mostly by female graduate students, consistently favored Democrats. The changes will mean the networks will be slower to call the winners. That and the difficulty of adjusting for the large number of absentee ballots could mean a longer night than usual.
So how to make sense of things this election night? Don't feel obligated to listen to the endless analysis of the pundits (including me) on the networks. Consider turning down the TV to a whisper and either watching the crawl of actual returns on the bottom of the screen or monitoring them on the Internet at sites like RealClearPolitics.com.
Based on this, I'm not expecting that we'll know anything until well after 8 p.m., EST, when the polls close. As usual, this Wall Street Journal piece doesn't mention the Irey-Murtha race. You can the article
here.
To victory.
Will do Gitmo. I'll be heading to one of the polling stations soon. Not everyone votes in the middle of the night! LOL!
Good Morning All.
ON TO VICTORY!
This will be a day to savor.
Morning, jaz! You sure beat the chickens up this morning!
Mornin, David. Up and at em early today. Don't want to miss any of what will be a great day. :-)
Good morning to you all. Anxiously awaiting victory news tonight for Diana. Prayers for her and our nation today.
I was going to go vote before work, but my hubby called and said the news was reporting polling places in our town are chaotic. Electronic voting machines not working, long lines. It's kind of odd since we used them in the primary and they seemed to work just fine. Ours have paper copy with the electronic screen. I feel better with a paper trail. Guess maybe I'll wait till this afternoon to vote.
I'm with you, buddy! I took the day off from work for that reason. The missus and I are about to head out to the polls. We're a straight R family.
Good morning, Marmolade. Thanks for your support and your prayers. Voting this afternoon is fine, your vote will still count. :-)
