In Massachusetts, the special election to fill "Kennedy's seat" is red-hot. WCBV, a television station in Boston, cites a Suffolk University survey released late Thursday; the Republican Scott Brown is leading heir-apparent Democrat Martha Coakley by 4 percentage points.
It's a statistical tie.
Very nice, lady red! Good job!
ReplyDeleteDid you see the latest polls? Brown up by 15 in one of them. Gotta love it.
Anonymous was me, floranista :-) I have to figure this out...
ReplyDeleteYo florrie and Lady Red, can I have tea...coffee hurts my tummy.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to see you ladies! The tea kettle is on!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm happy to be here!
ReplyDeleteCheck your email...tehe...
You women can't have this place all to yourself... you need a man around...
ReplyDelete... to do the dishes, take out the garbage, or something.
On a more serious note. I'm allowing myself to become cautiously optimistic about Brown winning this race. Croakely has shot herself in both feet, legs, arms and is now taking aim between her eyes.
ReplyDeleteYay, Luther is here!
ReplyDeleteLuther, I too am feeling the slightest tingle of optimism. Maybe, just maybe, sanity will prevail.
ReplyDeleteHey! Fay and Luther are here too, yay!
ReplyDeleteFay, I recently switched to tea, I found the best peppermint tea EVAH, I have a cuppa every night :-)
Of course, I'm saying this as I'm drinking some black coffee (the dregs from Tom's pot this am :-)
Fay, the peppermint is also soothing on the tummy, it's organic, brand is "Choice" and you can get it at health food stores or Amazon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tea tips florrie, but I don't care for flavoured teas. Just good old Tetley's from England, with milk!
ReplyDeleteHi Luther (waving..)
Hi Fay, and Florrie. Good to see you two here. What a great idea of Lady Red's don't you think.
ReplyDeleteLong time ago I gave up coffee for about three years, drank nothing but tea, those flavored ones from... 'Celestial Seasonings'???? I remember Red Zinger was one of my favs. They got bought out by General Mills or someone similar.
Anyway, eventually went back to coffee, and lots of it. My ol' bones need that caffeine nowadays.
I am drinking large amounts of pretty bad coffee, here, but when I finally get moved into my sister's house this weekend, will dig out my old percolator (weird, huh?) and start to make morning pots of tea, again.
ReplyDeleteI make it very strong, that way, so still get the caffiene, but not the acidic stomach.
Aha! anon is Dances. No wonder you couldn't decide what nick to use. Welcome Dances!
ReplyDeleteI thought Anon was you, DWT! Dances, right under the "post a comment" box is "comment as". You can place your nick there. :) I'm so glad you're here!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're here, DWT!!
ReplyDelete*doing a happy dance*
oh hai!
ReplyDeleteIf Brown wins I'll be amazed.
Hi lewy! Welcome.
ReplyDeleteWell, DWT is not really here, as I told folks I would not use that name elsewhere, but I do have such a large selection, otherwise.
ReplyDeleteAnd it still doesn't seem to matter what I do, anything but 'anonymous' tells me I have illegal characters in my URL.
I always knew my characters were shady, but I would never go so far as to say illegal.
LadyRed - there is no 'comment as' box on my screen - maybe because I am still using the tin-can-and-string equivalent IE7?
ReplyDeleteOK, I figured out how to get my google ID working.
ReplyDeleteSo I am no longer the nameless one.
I am very happy to have this place, Thank You, Lady Red.
ReplyDeleteIt is so good to 'see' all of you.
But it is my bedtime, now - we old guys need our sleep, especially when we work at a place where layoffs and reduced hours keep us running all the work day.
Good night for now.
It just struck me... as to how funny it is that groups continue to splinter and splinter, trying to find a comfortable spot. And I mean no disrespect to anyone anywhere with that remark.
ReplyDeleteDisagreements I do not mind. I will never learn anything if I only speak into an echo chamber.
ReplyDeleteWhat I do object to is, when I make what I believe to be a relevant observation, to be accused of speaking behind someone's back or just wanting to post something out of spite or wearing dirty socks or whatever, while Lassie's close relative can be as rude an abusive as she wants and gets defended.
Water under the bridge, RadioMattM. I'm so glad you're here! And the rest of you, too!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be here. I was thinking of doing the same thing, but glad you were first.
ReplyDeleteYay, Matt's here!
ReplyDeleteSweet Dreams, Sidd, probably see you tomorrow.
lewy, prepare to be amazed. I have used my psychic powers to divine the results of next Tuesday's election and the winner is Brown.
Not that there won't be lots of funny business from now to then...
That makes me think of John Fund's book, Stealing Elections. Anyone else here read it?
Sid: I always knew my characters were shady, but I would never go so far as to say illegal.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Florrie, the Dem's wrote the playbook on stealing elections in the Washington Governor's race in 2004. If Brown wins, and it is anywhere near being a close one, they will drag it out and recount until they come up with enough "uncounted ballots" found in broom closets to steal another one.
ReplyDeleteAnd in the meantime we are stuck once again with "Chris".
ReplyDeleteI loved the bumper stickers that said "re-elect Rossi" didn't you, Matt?
I was up hear by that election, but I agree with the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteFor those of you not in the area, in the 2004 election, King County (Seattle) had something like 1350 more votes in the election than they had a record of people having voted. Among those votes were from ballots found in an unsecured box "found in a[n unlocked] broom closet." King County waited until all the other counties certified their results after the second recount, then went to court to have the rules of the game changed to allow whatever they wanted to allow. Since everyone else had certified their results by that point, no other county was allowed to play by the rules that King County got to play by.
It was the testing ground for how the Dems could take over the country without a shot being fired.
I've signed on as an author, now all I have to do is figure out HOW to post a post
ReplyDelete"It was the testing ground for how the Dems could take over the country without a shot being fired."
ReplyDeleteUmm, I would not be too sure of that. Remember that history is written by the victor, except in the case of America, where it is written by academics who will be screaming, whining and crying as they pee their pants, slumped against the wall.
