Actually, the night-time skip is from the sky (the ionosphere IIRC), not the ground.

it will be a victory for Sarah Palin, inspite of Saxby Chambliss. If Chambliss goes back to DC with more RINO garbage, he will be out in the primary next time round. Maybe he and Mel M. can start a thinktank together.

Speaking of Sarah Palin and Saxby Chambliss, consider the following irony. Sarah is actually helping a federal senator to exercise powers which have been largely wrongly usurped from the states by the feds anyway. This is evidenced by the following statutes.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution (emphasis added) in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution (emphasis added), nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

In fact, I think that God kept Sarah in Alaska for the following reason.

Consider that the states actually have the lion's share difference of government powers between total government powers minus the limited powers delegated to the Oval Office and Congress by the Founders as evidenced by the statutes above. So given Sarah's track record for successfully taking on the big boys, Sarah is in a better position as a governor, in my opinion, as opposed to being VP - or even president - to lead Alaska to set the example for the other states to do the following. Sarah can lead Alaska to take back state powers stolen by the feds over the last several decades while restoring constitutional limits on the powers of the renegade federal government.

If this trend keeps up, we can keep our carbines for a couple years instead of a couple months.

Saxby is running about 7% better (on average) in the counties that have reported so far as compared to the GE. Not an absolute but a good indication.

as the sun goes down am stations turn their satelites (or that’s what they did 15 years ago)so it doesn’t mess up fm frequency (i think that’s why). You probably can pick up 1110wbt out of charlotte when the sun goes down. I pick up the savage nation out of wor in Ny. it’s all crazy.

I'll be keeping mine a lot longer than that in any case...unless one thing happens.

As the old colonial saying went...

"When you see them with my gun, you will know that I am dead."

Chambliss lost Peach County in Nov and is winning it with 8 of 9 precincts reporting! Good news!

It takes a while to count everyone. Georgia has 159 counties.
