Yup, you hit the nail on the head!
I voted for Lonegan, but I knew that it was a lost cause for the very reasons that you stated.
On another note, when my husband left the polls yesterday, there was a pretty young girl outside with a clipboard asking him if he supported same sex marriage. His answer to her was “are you electioneering?” She was taken aback by this and stepped backwards. He than proceeded to say “of course not!” Would believe this crap. Society isn’t just circling the drain anymore. We are down the damned pipe already!!!!!
Where I voted it was all Seniors, people at least 70 or older. All voting blue, because they were petrified they would loose their social security if a Republican got elected. I tried to explain to them, but it’s difficult to reason with an octogenarian who still thinks this is the same country it was when he grew up in and fought in WWII for.
I learned everything about politics from Millicent Fenwick. I wish there was a way to bring her back. We need her.
