Fired up. Ready to go.

RCP is a hot site. I thought it was my little secret. No more.

Also, after a given state has held their election RCP post the results right above their avg pol. For us politicos it’s cool stuff.

Here’s a place where you can see the trend line in dramatically graphic form:

Bill, put down the Hater-ade.

You can’t move a mountain without a shovel. Unfortunately for Obama (and maybe the country), the house & senate have all the shovels.

I voted early, last week even. When I walked up to the workers sitting there four in a row we exchanged questions.

Theirs, “democratic or republican?”

I mentioned that I knew some republicans would like a democratic ballot.

Mine, “are you seeing any young people voting this time?”

A seventy something lady smiled at me real big and pointed out the young lady with the died black hair, body piercings, tattoos, and obviously closer to twenty than twenty one who was replacing her at the table.

I’m sorry. I got the feelgoods. No. None of my kids or grandkids dress or look like that, at least in my presence. But when I looked at the young lady I saw someone whom I’m used to seeing refuse everything my generation allegedly believes as important for a good life. This young lady, even with her generation’s strongest statement in fashion and attitude, was embracing the best thing about mine.

I like feelgoods. When you’re closer to sixty than you are fifty nine the feelgoods aren’t as easily found as they used to be.
