Indecision 2004...the closest election in four years

Okay, I just had to post a little sooner. Big news...Chuck Grassley retains his Senate seat in Iowa. It was so close that they projected it one second after the polls close. Seriously, who is Art Small and did he even have a snowball's chance in heck of winning? I bet all my students at Lineville-Clio...all 30 of them...a pop if Art Small beat Grassley. Guess I'm saving some money, way to go Grassley!

I've now also turned to a new news source. The most comprehensive name in news...the Daily Show. Good stuff.

Wow...Bush won Texas and Kerry won Massachusetts. Why did they even waste our time telling us that?

A couple quick stories...first I took forever to vote tonight. Like I said the wait wasn't bad, but when I went into the booth, it was a weird set up that I haven't seen before. The ballot was inside a table and you pressed the button next to the candidate's name. A light went on by it then. There were a lot of buttons and they all didn't quite line up right. You then could go to the next page and once done review your pages. Finally, you hit the big red button for your votes to be counted. I made sure I double checked and took my time. My votes were correct, but I can see how people get confused.

Second, for future reference I will be 35 in 2016. Just in time for the 2016 Presidential election! Guess who is putting their name in early?

Where would we be without the Daily Show. We would all be worried and flustered about another close election and the possible recounts/trials/hysteria that may follow. Now we can just laugh it off.
