"And through that fast and final turn
Where mind and muscle start to burn
and it is heart alone that brings you to the roses..."

Bill Staines. "Heart Alone."

[Coexist]

1. runnin on empty?

Everyone I know, everywhere I go
People need some reason to believe
I dont know about anyone but me
If it takes all night, thatll be all right

[saltpoint]

4. Yep. "If it takes all night, that'll be all right..."

Bingo.

[Condem]

2. Crusoe

I'm tired as hell but I want to see this thing through. So, I got some scotch!

[saltpoint]

3. Good move. Now rip the phone out of the wall and turn on C-Span.

Lake County is going to pour some History into our skulls in about an hour and a half.

5. hey there!

I'm not wealthy, so my Solara Reserve is my "good" scotch - and almost broken out. But I opted for Rum and Coke, with caffeine being the deciding factor.

Enjoy some of whatcha' got for me, please.

[Condem]

6. Folks

We will remember this night for the rest of our lives. I don't think I understate that.

[Coexist]

It could take a while but it's going to be worth it.

[Coexist]

I better stay here. I'm getting into trouble, elsewhere.

[Coexist]

seems to have dropped off the map.

Puzzlin' evidence.

[Coexist]

[saltpoint]

21. You're right -- and it's looking pretty good for that guy from Illinois.

[Hekate]

14. A toast to our hopes

I think I'll take a bit of the Irish from the back of the cupboard and join you all. Not forgetting to pour out a libation on the ground, either.

Hekate

[Condem]

16. A toast, Hekate!

[saltpoint]

17. I like a woman who knows her rituals.

All good steps on ya, with the bluest of blue mornings, too, Hekate.

22. No matter your opinion of Chuck todd, he is predicting that a mere

5000 votes will divide the winner from the loser tonight in Indiana.

No one is calling anyone in particular to place first, though. It's that close.
