I'll probably check it out towards the end, and I might check in every now and again, but I'm not going to be sitting here just watching it from start to end. If the Dems are losing, I'll probably watch MSNBC and CNN. If the Republicans are losing, I'll probably watch FOX. What can I say? I enjoy watching people completely break down mentally. I don't rubberneck on the road, so I find this totally acceptable. :D

I rarely watch and just wait to see the results in the morning. There was not a lot to vote on locally for me but I still went. Maybe there is something about the system I don't understand but on my ballot, there were a lot of unopposed judicial positions where the only candidate was Republican.

Based on the TV talking heads I hear, nationally, the House is expected to go blue and the Senate stay red? I suppose polls were wrong in 2016, but you've got to think Republicans are at least a little prepared for that and maybe Democrats are counting on a shift. Seems like Democrats would be more surprised if they don't do well this election.

I'm registered Unaffiliated so I won't be terribly bothered either way. I was talking to some financial planners recently who said that in recent history, the stock market has performed best when the House and Senate are divided. Maybe if that's true and things go according to prognosticators, we'll have some good news for IRAs, 401Ks, etc...

We had close to twenty amendments on our ballot today (right around 17 if I remember correctly). That was between federal, state, and county.
 
I've had MSNBC on most of the day and they've been tolerably down the middle. I'm sure that won't last once the numbers start coming in.

Oh yeah, I go over there every few months, under a different handle, and read the threads that involve me. It's a real ego boost.

I must admit, I NEVER would have guessed that Iowa would have such a diverse group. Now, granted, they have their share of "out of stater's" who go there, but there's still a lot more diversity than I would ever have guessed.

When I first went over there, it was a nice mix of political and social ideals. When I came back, I realized that it was mostly a bunch of socialist zealots, run by a Stalinesque, authoritarian mod. I essentially tried to get banned, and I think the only reason I wasn't banned earlier, was because I was the life of the board. I could turn a ridiculous argument into a ten-page thread by trolling those slope-foreheaded, knuckle-dragging neanderthals. There are a few redeeming posters that still post over there, you being one of them, but not enough for me to make any effort to post there again. The posters over there that weren't complete douche-bags?

  1. You
  2. UnIowa (Dragon)
  3. Moral
  4. Prime
  5. Ciggy
  6. Wendy
  7. Birch
  8. Joker
I'm sure I'm missing a couple. The only real regrets I have over there is targetting Wendy and Birch to get to the White Knights on that board. I have nothing against them, but it was obvious that mysogyny ran rampant over the so-called "progressives" on that server.

Moral is a good guy.

I never knew they had mods! It always seemed like a free-for-all. No nudity, but everything else goes. You got Jews over there, gay guys, women, uber-conservative, uber-liberal, the village idiot (ottumwan in Texas), there might even be a few mulattoes.
 
There is now an openly gay Governor in the USA... in Colorado.

A female Democrat became governor in Kansas.

I had no idea that Ted Cruz and O'Rourke would even be close at all.

It will take more than Oprah to get a black women elected governor in Georgia.

Oh, that reminds me to add a few cool people to the list:

  1. Ottumwan
  2. AtlNole (the gay guy)
  3. I can't remember their names off the top of my head, but the black guy "war"something, and the tall guy who was a mixed. They were both cool.
  4. Naturalmwa was cool, but he had a bad habit of not being able to back up his arguments.
  5. Raglefant was a cool dude too, although he was obviously a troll.

O'Rourke should have beaten Cruz, but he went all "potato" at the end.
