Well, Craig is asleep now, so it’s just me. I’m not sure how late I’ll be able to stay up – the babies will have us up at 7:00 am! Still, it doesn’t seem right to go to bed without knowing. I am getting a little bored with all the blah, blah, blah from the commentators. They all say the same thing, and everyone knows the numbers. People have already voted, it’s just a matter of getting the damn counting done.

The local returns are actually kind of funny – several different counties were voting on whether or not you can sell liquor by the glass. Apparently the debates on this were quite passionate. Only in Tennessee! There were also several defeats of “wheel taxes”. People in Tennessee are pathologically opposed to taxes of any kind, other than sales taxes, which they are happy to pay out the nose. This despite the fact that there is clear data showing that people actually pay MORE by having the higher sales tax than they would by having a state income tax.

So, they’ve just announced that Florida is a loss. That really sucks. It’s 246-207 W. Now Ohio is a must-win. I guess we knew that, but somehow it’s still very discouraging to me that it’s this close. I just don’t understand how anyone, other than a selfish rich person, can support W. I really, truly, just don’t get it. I mean, the economy still sucks (because of W), the war in Iraq is a disaster, and the country is actually LESS safe now than we were when W took office. And don’t even get me started on “moral values” – the idea that Dick and W are moral is just laughable.

Sigh…
