The Day After

The people of Ohio have spoken and George W. Bush will serve another term.

Red Sox win. Red states win. Redskins suck.

I stayed up pretty late to watch all the election coverage. And I mean all. MSNBC, CNN, ABC, CBS, and the local news channels as well. All at once. 5 tv's were actually useful.

I heard at least 2 poker analogies used for election analysis. One refereed to Kerry basically needing an inside straight draw. Another was similiar, along the lines of "he keeps drawing that high face card to stay alive."

The best 5 minutes of the election coverage was when Al Sharpton was on for a segment with Jon Stewart and some former governor on the Daily Show. If Sharpton runs for president again in the future, I just might screw the issues and vote for him based on entertainment value alone. He's hilarious.

If I ever decide to run for the Senate instead of the White House, I'm going to move to Montana. 65 votes will get you the majority in that state.

Possible voter fraud in Richmond. I did not get to vote for the Richmond city council (and the one or two meaures for Richmond) on my ballot. 5 were elected out of 15 candidates, although it was impossible to find out any information about any of the candidates. What little info I did find,I was unable to use. The useless voting volunteer lady didn't know anything, so I had no say in the level of government that is closest to home. 1 of the people I would have voted for made the cut. A second one finished 6th, 1052 votes short (would have been 1051), and the others were at 9th, 11th and 14th place last time I checked. (One of our council members name is Tom Butt. I did not vote for him.)
