I hope so

[I still care]

The Clinton's are not known for their gratitude. They left Reno high and dry. I was speaking to someone who works in politics, and I was the one who informed him of what Clinton did. He looked and me and said, "Well, that's stupid. She knows where all the bodies are buried."

So I guess Janet will not be long for this world. Can't let her get in Hillary's way, can we?

[katherineisgreat]

Just getting home and checking in here. Did ya'll hear they ran out of Republican ballots at a precinct in Seminole County? Heard the election supervisor interviewed on WFLA radio--said, "Well, we had plenty of ballots here at the office. I just underestimated the turnout, and didn't order enough."

Sandy Goard, the Sem. Cty. election supv. needs to go. There are still no election results for Seminole County on the semcoelections.org site. They also need poll workers under 120 in this county!

For something really interesting go to Fox News, they are interviewing the Tourist Guy.

Reno with almost all votes counted carries Marion County by about 150 votes. The equine vote comes through for her. It is about the only thing she appears to be carrying outside the golden quartet, plus Lucie County.

Where are you getting your info?

Tell me more about St Lucie County. Is the Dem cohort there heavily black?

The St Lucie inquiry was directed to you. LOL. I only talk to myself after another couple of cocktails.

Broward Supervisor of Elections Miriam M. Oliphant fields questions from the media at the Voter Equipment Center in downtown Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2002, about polls closing early and other problems plaguing Broward County. Florida's first major election since the 2000 recount debacle was marred by problems Tuesday, leaving untold number of voters frustrated and rousing criticism against county election officials whose job was to ensure a smooth primary.

Stick a fork in her, Janet's toast. It should make for an interesting general election.

[Torie]

Ya, all Janet needs to do is get close, and we will all get to do this again!

[PogySailor]

It was pretty funny. The local news channel has two "political experts" discussing the results. The Republican points out that the counties had two years to get their act together. The Democrat blames K. Harris. The Republican says something to the effect of: Please explain how the SAME three counties have "irregularities" again, but none of the other 64 counties have none?

[Torie]

No, she is still in the hunt IMO.
