I voted last night with no hassle. Yay.

Virginia's Senate race is too close to call, and I've just learned that state officials have decided not to declare a winner until November 27th. November 27th!!??!!! *grumbles* Jim Webb has declared himself the victor over George Allen already, though, and if I weren't already in support of Allen, Webb's arrogance would've made me want him to lose. I'll keep my fingers crossed that he has to eat some humble pie in the coming weeks. Come on absentee voters!

Obviously, the loss of control of the House to the Democrats doesn't thrill me, but I am mollified slightly by the fact that losing the House will make it harder for the rampant spending that's been going on to continue. Also, Frank Wolf is still my Representative. He's not as conservative as I would like, but he's done alright, and Lord knows he's better looking than his challenger. Seriously folks, look up Judy Feder. Dogs run from this woman. I heard one person comment, "When I first got a flyer about her, I thought it was a man in drag!" (And don't comment to me about how looks shouldn't matter. I'm not saying it was a factor in my decision to vote for Wolf, just making a general comment that this woman hit every branch on her way out of the fugly tree.)

I'm taking bets on how long it will be before Nancy Pelosi starts trying to get Bush impeached. That woman's a loon.

Ok, that's enough of my ranting. Politics ebbs and flows, and this election wasn't really a surprise. Maybe later I'll post a more thoughtful narrative, or maybe I'll let others (like [livejournal.com profile] mynuet do it for me.

At least the Republicans in VA weren't completely usurped. *sigh* I really, really dislike living in a democratic state. As my brother said, Chicago basically makes my vote moot. I tried.

I hear you. My county is one of the uber close ones that hadn't been finished tallying when I last looked. Currently Webb is ahead of Allen here. Argh. Most of VA is pretty solidly conservative, but there are enough in No. VA., Richmond, and Hampton to give Webb the edge he needs.

Isn't William and Mary In VA? Or at least pretty darn close? Heck, I'll move in a second if I can go there! Though there's that whole, 'I love my friends and family' thing, but hey, what is email for?

Well then make room, I'm coming home to you, darling! Anything to get me out of this uber liberal state! Ick! Fifty miles? In rush hour traffic, do you think I could commute? ;-)

About 45 minutes to an hour and there is no rush hour if you go route 60 verses I64 :P

Williamsburg is the best! I love it over there. The shopping and eating are fab!

OH YEAH! I <3 Williamsburg. James and I considered moving there once upon a time.

I haven't been there in over eight years now. Wow.

William & Mary is in Williamsburg - down in the southeastern part of Virginia. It's about four hours from me - a lot closer than Chicago, though!

Oh, if I lived with Cynnie, I could totally come visit you often! I'll make her come with, we'll have tons of fun eating everything she bakes for us! Hee!

Wait, me and you and Mer could so move into a townhome or something together! Oh it would be so darn cute! I can play the bad parent when she brings boys home, scare them at the door with a large baseball bat!

*snuggles* I feel your pain. Just look on the brightside of things - the democrats will squander this opportunity by being power mad corrupt politicians and the Republicans and stand there in '08 and go look - see what happens when you vote those people in.

Apparently, they have found where Webb was inadvertantly given 1500 more votes than he was supposed to have in Stafford county...

That warms my heart.

I've already donated to the Republican party.
