So the choice, for me, came down to this: Do I vote for the guy with the really weird eyebrow, or the guy with the smirk?
I went eyebrow all the way.
My guy won.
That’s good, because during the debates, all I wanted to do was smack that smirk off of Kilgore’s face. Geez. He’s like, the guy everyone must’ve beat up in high school.
In any case, I’m sorry, but I have a major HA-ha moment here: The conservatives (of which I am not one, in spite of many people fervently wishing to make me so) both lost.
Wow, was Forrester sleazy or what, getting Corzine’s ex-wife to come out against him in an ad?
My precinct had the touch-screen voting machines. Kewl. Fun. Germ carriers. I pointed that out to the woman who keyed in my vote, and she said, “I know. I keep wiping the screen clean.”
Smart woman.
And although my button says “I made freedom count,” and Sarah’s only says that she voted, she still wins the competition. Last week, Al Gore and Rudy Guiliani called her. This week, W. and Bill Clinton called her.
Nobody called me. All they did was send people door to door to ask me to vote for Kaine. (I live in a solidly Democratic neighborhood, and Kilgore was obviously not wasting his time and money to convince me otherwise. The smug jackass.)
Y’know, I visited one of those conservative Virginian blogs today. I think they’re a bit unhappy tonight. Poor things. Hell, even during his concession speech, he smirked. ARGH! Smack that man!!! Smack him!
Here’s the scary part: the [extreme right wing lock up the liberals] Attorney General says he’s going to restore “Conservative values” to the AG office. Who had the office before him who wasn’t toeing the conservative line? The Republican candidate who lost the guber-natorial election [and who I thought was pretty conservative himself.]
What’s coming, whips and thumbscrews?
There was a woman that keyed in your vote? Isn’t that against the whole idea of confidential, secret voting?
