My phone down here in LA (Lower Alabama) has been ringing off the hook.

I'm getting too old for these nail biting elections. My area went for Jones

Knew we had a chance when I bumped into an old family friend today that has been a repuke voter forever. When I asked him if he was voting for the pedophile he said Hell No, I'm voting for Jones!

Mobile went blue, though, and that's a lot more votes than the other areas.

You'll have to check witht the OP about the LA expression. I always thought that meant Louisiana.

A month ago I really believed that Jones would pull out a victory. But by the end of tonight I had heartburn and a headache. And we live in Colorado!

Hang in there, dear DU friend, and be proud of your state. I sure am.
