I voted yesterday, but none of it really counted since I voted mostly libertarian - because I would like to see a viable 3 party system here, and because I didn't care for anyone running in the normal parties.

That's what I did by voting Green in Illinois. And besides getting 10% of the vote, the Green Party is now a major party. I'm a big fan of multi-party politics and I hate how it's been engineered by the two parties in power to stay a two party system

Dear Melissa Hart:

Be the man that I've come to believe you actually are and QUIT WHINING. You lost to a dude who looks like Alex P. Keaton, deal with it and STFU.

xoxo,
33 and most of Pittsburgh

Seriously co-sign. I am SO glad I don't have to see her whiny commercials anymore. I can't decide if she's manly or just horsey?

That is the best thing about the day after election day. No more damn commercials. No more Lynn Swann talking but not really saying a damn thing. No more of Rick Santorum pimping out his family.

Speaking of Rick- did you see the pictures of his family last night? His kids were dressed like they were Amish. Really, you can be super-Catholics and still dress with some amount of self respect and style. God won't look down upon you for being at least slightly stylish.

I saw them this morning. I wasn't sure if it was the li'l Ricks & Rickettes (ha ha, rickets) or a polygamy special on A & E. At least the hardcore Amish rock the basic black & white.

We'd better be careful, or we'll have to apologize like Tony Norman. What a wuss.

I was really surprise with the Green party turn out. 49% to Blagojevich, 40% to Topinka and 10% to Whitney. That's a greater turn out than at least from what I've seen in the past (mostly in the 5% range). I could definitely see the Green party rising.

I think a lot of people were not happy with the choice between Blagojevich and Topinka. I also think Topinka's choice of running mate really hurt her - I know a lot of people (especially women) who would have had no problem voting for her, but could not stand Birkett and didn't want him anywhere near the governor's mansion. (he is dreadful!)

That said, it is a beautiful day to be a Democrat.

Cosign! I toyed with the idea of the voting for Whitney, but in the end, I held my nose and voted for Blago. Can't stand Birkett, so Topinka wasn't really an option.

I'm watching the Cook County Board election pretty closely, though. Anyone else smell a recount coming?

Just pointing out.. Topinka is an Alpha Gam.

I can't believe the people in my state voted for a guy who lists his economic honor society from 1979 on his webpage, and also believes breast cancer and abortion are linked. He has a JD, and isn't an MD, wtf.

UGH
