You guys did hear about how he compared the war in Iraq to the Lord of the Rings, right?

Well there is that quote flying around, "Frodo failed, Bush has the ring"

[Sugar]

And I quote:

"As the hobbits are going up Mount Doom, the Eye of Mordor is being drawn somewhere else. It's being drawn to Iraq and it's not being drawn to the U.S. You know what? I want to keep it on Iraq. I don't want the Eye to come back here to the United States."

You just can't make this **** up.

Don't worry. I'll be voting tomorrow.

Reading that mess just made me lose a few IQ points.

Apparently The Colbert Report had a lot of fun with this.

Seriously. There's 5 seconds of my life I'll never get back

[estranged4life]

in the eyes of some in this area, since I tend to vote for who I think can get the job done instead of kissing a political parties ass.

Let's say that alot of state Demos will be lucky this year in regards to receiving my (Independent) vote...I guess it's my early X-Mas present for 'em.

Senate races:

Tennessee: Harold Ford Jr.(D) Vs Bob Corker(R)
Missouri: Claire McKaskill(D) Vs Jim Talent(R)
Virginia: George Allen(R) Vs Jim Webb(D)
Pennsylvania: Rick Santorum(R) Vs Bob Casey(D)
Ohio: Mike DeWine(R) Vs Sherrod Brown(D)
Montana: Conrad Burns(R) Vs John Tester(D)

There are more house races obviously that are competetive, but Pennsylvania is a swing state, watch the hosue races there closely. Also, there's a very interesting thing going on here in the first district in Minnesota. Gil Gutnecht, the 6 term Republican rep from Rochester is facing a fierce battle from Democrat Tim Walz. The interesting thing is Gutnecht has won each race with at least 60% of the vote each time. He really hasnt had any personal scandals, so the fact that he's facing a serious challenge to his seat is very interesting.

You should add the Rhode Island race to the above list. Chafee (R) vs. Whitehouse (D). Dems are poised to take that state.

We already went to vote this morning. I'm sure both Deb & myself were the youngest people at the poll (Most of the people voting this morning were between the ages of 60-80, and NONE were confused about how to vote...Unlike idiots in other states!)

One state question on the ballot is rather a waste of time:

State Question No.733-Which, if passed, would remove a ban on alcoholic sales on election day.

[GypsySorcerer]

I voted before work. Not too much of a line, but there were a steady flow of people going in/out.

Here, the local races are the most hotly contested - mayor and city council. Only one Congressional race on the ballot -- the incumbent Dem has it in the bag.

I voted before work, too. This nice old man was an election judge and he was flirting with all of the old ladies in the place. Pretty funny.

Now, to sit back and watch the results.

Nervous and hopeful....
