And the Winner Is....

The polls will be opening early tomorrow. And throughout the day many citizens (many more will not) will cast a ballot voicing support or opposition to a plethora of candidates, constitutional amendments, and other ballot initiatives.

FINALLY!

It took almost a month, but the newest quarterly reports on fund-raising has been discovered. This is something that I have been planning on writing about for over a month now. Lots of exciting information to talk about. Lots of exciting information to to share with the world and you. Stay tuned

YAWN

Being a Senate race that the New York Times recently hailed as being Senate seat no. 51, the campaign has certainly been rather boring. It lacks the crazy of Delaware and the passion and fight of Kentucky. There are no witches or Aqua Buddhas in Washington sadly. Just two candidates who stick to their message tried and true.

Maybe this should have been posted earlier. One of the more common features by bad bloggers and even worse news reports is the constant beating of the latest poll numbers. Bloggers will sound the trumpets when their supported candidate is ahead in the polls (while gleefully ignoring when the news is bad or attempt to discredit the poll, that they had just supported, when it is not in their favor).
