Election Day
I'm sure you all are taking a look at what is going on in the States. Democrats have taken over. The House of Reps destroyed the Republicans. They are at 227 to 195 with 13 seats still not decided. The Senate is 49 to 49 with the two seats still yet to be decided are close leads in favor of the Democrats. It is always exciting to me to watch the coverage on election night. In Wisconsin the Governor was the first Democrat to be relected since the early 70's. The Senator is also a D. With most of all the spots in local government going D as well. But then the two big Q's on the ballot were the marriage one, where the uninformed think it is a gay vote, and the death penalty. So why did both of those go to the Republican side of thinking. Marriage is only man and woman and death penalty is accepted. I am not sure what was going on in MN. Any way Bush & his crew had a very bad night. I didnt get to see his speech today about it but I am sure he has to start thinking about how things are going to change. There is now a woman as Speaker of the House. She is now the highest ranking woman in history and she is very left side. It will be very interseting to see what type of history is made in the next couple of years.

I, too, love watching the election results as they come in. It's exciting. Especially when the blue states begin popping up everywhere, It was indeed an interesting change in politics, now we'll see if they can do some good with their new found position.
in addition to everything else, Rumsfeld resigning, wow, that's wonderful news! not that the new appointee will be great (we'll see), but at least the devil incarnate is gone, the whole crew certainly has messed things up: the war, the economy, international relations, etc.
anyway, enough of that talk.
Hopefully this little bit of change will all be for the positive and the world can begin to like us again.
