Oh gosh this senate race here is so close its a stalemate I don't think we'll know who one until atleast by the time I go to work tonight or if its even closer when I finish working at around 4am.

  But polls close at 7 or 8et.

  Saw some old nieghbours the conservative one was wearing his NRA hat he didn't look too happy while my democrat nieghbour was really giddy about voting.

Yep, I voted. I always vote by absentee ballot, for the last 10 or 15 years anyway.

Any idea when the result from Virginia is due?

Well they'll finish going over the ballot in Fairfax county in Virginia which is a suburb of Washington and strongly democratic sometime today. If the result is more then atleast 11,000 votes Allen isn't going to ask for a recount because a recount usually on gains you 500 votes maximum and obviously 'Macaca' boy is farther behind then that.

  Mr. Crew Cut in Montana was declared the winner a couple hours ago over the republican crook.

  Only people that I wanted to see win who didn't was Tammy Duckworth and Harold Ford Jr. But Ford is only 35 and he's going places so you haven't heard the last from him.

Really. cool. I think the world has been watching as well.

Funny now Harper's boyfriend will need consoling now that his legacy is in shambles and his presidency is for all in tense purposes done.
