Uh guys, isn't there's a special election tonight?
Edited on Tue Apr-11-06 09:44 PM by Hippo_Tron
Why doesn't DU have the usual enthusiasm that it has when there's an election going on. Why aren't there 100 threads tracking the results, etc. etc.

COME ON GUYS, if Busby wins (especially outright), we are not only one seat closer to a majority in the house, but it sends a clear message about how the GOP is in deep shit.

I'm excited!!!!! :bounce:

Why isn't everybody else?

5. For results?

Someone posted on in the California forum, but it's the official one so it may be slow. The media outlets usually track faster (and make more mistakes) but it doesn't seem like the media is even paying attention to this race.

3. Yep.
Polls close in about 15 minutes. My daughter's poll watching and I'm sure I'll be hearing from her soon. No idea at this point how the numbers are looking.

7. Yep. California. Duke's seat. Francine Busby. But polls don't close
there for another 10 or so minutes, I think.

13. Well, my choice for TX Congressional District 10 Primary (Ankrum) won
his runoff.

Also, Barbara Radnofsky vanquished her name-game opponent in the US Senate primary runoff.
