Random Post Election Day Thoughts

  • Greg Lowery's landslide in Jack/Wise County DA's race was ridiculously predictable.
  • Texas, as a whole, is leaning towards the Democrats but it may take eight more years. Or maybe more.
  • Everyone told Precinct 1 constable Dennis Hudson that remaining a Democrat would one day catch up with him in his every-four-year-race against Tom Bishop. It finally did.
  • And the JP for Precinct 1, Jan Morrow, remains a Democrat.
  • Danny White (R) defeated Jim Popp (D) for county commissioner in precinct 1 despite those unstable NASCAR ads I've seen for the last three months.
  • Want to see a shockingly close race: Look at Al Franken's attempt to win a Senate seat in Minnesota with 99% of the precincts reporting.
  • Obama won and, as I look out my window, the sun came up in Wise County. How'd that happen?
  • Man, a Republican can't win in Dallas County anymore. Sheriff Lupe Valdez's wheels have been flying all over the place for the last four years and she still won handily.
  • Who says dirty politics doesn't work: Kim Brimer, who I will always picture with dark glasses on and smoking a one inch cigar, lost.
  • I don't think you'll hear from Sarah Palin again.
  • I still think I'm 100% right when I wrote last week that the hardline Republican party is gone. It's all demographics, people.
  • I can't wait to listen to Sean "Stop the Obama Express" Hannity, Rush "Operation Chaos" Limbaugh, and Mark "Obama Is Unelectable" Davis today.
  • If Republicans want to point fingers, George W. Bush is a good place to start. And I bet that huge Obama crowd that gathered outside the White House last night made him tense.
  • At the end of teh McCain concession speech, the cameras caught a white, high tone chick throwing back a glass of white wine. That was funny.
  • More, and I do mean more, of that hot girl above here.
  • Elizabeth Dole lost her Senate seat. And she should have after this horrifyingly misleading ad.
  • I think Wise County Fire Marshal Paul Cunningham won his bid for Sheriff in Montague County.
  • I'm not excited about a Democratic president and a Democratic Congress. I'm absolutely happy with a stalemate.
  • I saw an article the other day that McCain embracing "Joe The Plumber" incorrectly assumed that the average voter is like "Joe The Plumber."
  • I love my readers, but some of the anti-Obama folks are absolutely nuts.
