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.
