My polling place is in The Middle of NoWhere. It was just hitting its busy time when I left, AND the ballot scanner wasn’t working. We were told to deposit our ballots in a special slot in the machine to be scanned later when the machine was fixed. Were I to live in a different place, I’d worry about tampering.

Do it now.

Let your daughter take her vote now.

ASK HELP FROM ACORN. They might know the way.

Cheers!

"How do you put the comment you are replying to in italics?"

Although someone else answered your question, you are going to want to learn more. What you need are some HTML basics.

Go to the FR Home page and click "Help" at the top. Then select "Basic HTML". You will find some resource links there. I went to "HTML Sandbox" and learned enough to be dangerous in just a couple hours. KThxBye

Today, America is puking up the crap that Obama, Pelosi and Reid rammed down our throats over the past two (four?) years.

It's the first step at least. Hopefully Conservatives hold true to their promises.

The poll people at the little church where I vote were thrilled that for the first time ever....THEY HAD A LINE!

It was only about three people deep but I been here 7 years and first time I ever had to wait.

This here in the swamps of Georgetown, Delaware.

Voted straight R ticket and NO on liberal judge retentions !!

We had two RINOs on our ballot that voted for the CA tax increases last May. I voted those traitors out, but otherwise voted for the Rs.

Without exception, everyone I spoke with or heard talking made reference to REVERSING the obama crap that has been rammed down our throat.

Last night my son played darts at local pub- said people were talking to him who NEVER talk politics- do not CARE about politics and said same as you- without exception they said they were voting "to stop Obama"... Amazing.

Thanks for the update. It sounds very good—the Delaware Senate race will be icing on the cake if this trend means what I think it means.

O’Donnell is exactly what we need in Washington.

Use HTML.

Here’s a link...

http://www.davesite.com/webstation/html/

Basically, when you want to make something italics, bold, underlined, or strike out, you use the little side arrows and put the appropriate letter inbetween them.

Like this < i > to start the italics and to end it you use < /i >. For underline you use u, bold use b, to strike out something use s, paragraph uses p.

When doing the HTML, you can’t leave any spaces between the arrows and the letters. It has to be all one continuous sequence, if you get what I mean. If you use spaces, it doesn’t work but it does show up to show people what to do.

If you add HTML to a post you have to use it and mark your paragraphs or it becomes one long run on paragraph. And links, like the one I put in here, don’t automatically work. They only work like this one if you DON’T use HTML.

Not necessarily - it all depends on where the turnout is. From the Gallup models, both turnout models strongly favored the GOP - the lower one was a little more favored though.

Sad thing is that I am excellent with computers. I just never paid much attention to HTML codes. I used them for pics and such, but other than that. Not much. Thanks for your help though.

I wish I had the answer. All I can say is I hope that a LOT of disgruntled Democrats vote conservative this time. Praying it be so.

ps to everyone; How do you put the comment you are replying to in italics? Or is there a quick button to quote someone? Thanks in advance.

I'll use your post as an example.

When you click the "Post Reply" button, drag the mouse over the portion of their text you want to italicize.

Then do the Control-C to copy it, and put the cursor in the "Your Reply" box on the screen, and hit Control-V to paste that text.

That's the easy part, now comes the tricky part.

You need to enclose their speech in an html italics marker.

To do this, just before their quote, enter the characters :

<i>

and just after their quote, enter the characters:

</i>

So the text of yours in italics above was created by entering the following into the "Your Reply" field:

<i>ps to everyone; How do you put the comment you are replying to in italics? Or is there a quick button to quote someone? Thanks in advance.</i>

If there are paragraphs, you put the following at the end of each paragraph:

<p>

and you put the <i> before the paragraph, and between the text and the </i> after the paragraph and before the <p>, so your text above (if written as a paragraph) would look like this:

<i>ps to everyone; How do you put the comment you are replying to in italics? Or is there a quick button to quote someone? Thanks in advance.</i><p>

Cheers!
