I think marching bad is swell too. And those kids get to participate in music, which is in short supply in the schools! Especially out here in California, where the budgets have been cut so much over the years. I wish they spent as much on the arts in schools as they did on football! I work for a school of music too (www.jazzschool.com) and luckily we have a program to give kids from no-music middle schools classes in jazz. Which is an easier ticket for them out of the hood than competing for those few college football positions! Have a swell day, thanks! Hi Katy!

my 2 thoughts… in my county and congressional district IL 19, the dems did pretty awful and no one could figure it out – yet i repeated it often: it’s the machines (ess)…
i think there was so/too much knowledge and warning about these machines that it made it real hard to pull it off …
and, ok, 3, – the dem turnout, especially young people, was great…

except in my area… the anti-choice-pro-gun nuts were very active and vocal… stupid dems here: “if we do a big ‘get out the vote’ effort, the repugs will too”, so nothing… grrrrrr…

that’s all for me… g’nite all…

A percent or two may have been covertly shifted, possibly even in favor of some Democrats, but I had been expecting <em>visible</em> hacks from non-Establishment sources. Maybe the technology was still too new? Oh well, there's always 2008 for a major disaster... I’m officially surprised that there weren’t more disruptions with the electronic voting machines.

According to the San Diego Registrar's website 180,000 paper ballots have not been counted yet. MSM called the race prematurely and that didn't surprise me. I am surprised that the netroots aren't including this race in the post-election news.
