Wow. I think he can do it, folks. I really, really, am starting to think he can really do it!


(for someone who hates to get her hopes up as much as I do, that's a big deal, folks.)

So I just joined [livejournal.com profile] johnxjohn. Plenty of room in that Democrat Bad Place, folks! But there is not a slash America and a het America, there is the United States of America!


In other news, happy golden birthday to The Fellowship of the Ring, published July 29, 1954......

Was Lott the Senate Majority leader at that time? If so, ew, but Gore still should have put up more of a fight for the awful precedent it set and the lingering bad feelings it left.

Yes, it was Lott - IIRC, the Democrats won control of the Senate in 2000, but of course, this would have been the lame duck Senate.

And I know many have given Nixon and the ballot-stuffing in Chicago in 1960 as an excuse for Florida, but I can't see using a past wrong to make a right forty years later.
