Until I hear that, I will make sure people here in Columbus are voting. We gotta do better here in Franklin County, people are pissing me off taking the election lightly here. Hopefully this weekend, people get out and early vote.

People were posting pics of champagne, and celebrating.. it was devastating. Never want to get too confident, because it breeds complacency. Nor should we weep openly, or freak out like Sean Hannity on the radio. haha

Kerry was never really ahead. It was a longshot election from git.

This is different, but we still have to fight like hell for every single vote.

This weekend counts, a lot. Let's make it happen!

Obama ain't stopping! Biden ain't slowing down! Clinton is fired up and ready to go!

Let's do it!

Wolf Blitzer back at CNN after abducting him, the removed all traces of a personality, sense of humor, voice inflection or ability to smile. I remember him reporting from under a bed or something during the first attack on Iraq and he sounded just the same!
