If you are a "Joisy" boy, then of course you are salt of the earth and wonder what the heck people are doing electing professional wrestlers to be state leaders. If you're Joisy you know wrestlers are not supposed to be in the Governor's mansion, but in the bookie racket. I hope that made you laugh. And I guess it isnt what a person 'was' before they ran for election, like Sonny Bono and Ronald Regan and Ahr=nold, and others... its how they capture the imagination of the people in the moment. And in further elections, whether they were able to actually think and act, or whether they were just acting to begin with. Unusual isnt it, all named above, plus Mr. Franken are actors. Also wrestlers are actors. Hmmmm. lol<br><br>dr.e dear Paul Strong, your comment made me laugh in a good way.

I think the process has been very fairly run. It's now looking as if Franken might be seated someday soon. As a DFL volunteer who made a lot of phone calls to Dems during the election I can say this was honestly a close race- a lot of DFL'ers were less than thrilled with Franken. But he seems to have won. <br><br>I hear it's snowy in CO-- snowy here too.

The man took his case multiple times to the Florida State Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court, until he had exhausted ALL legal avenues. How in the world do you claim he 'gave up too soon'? “Gore, who was criticized…for giving up too soon.”

I think the anonymity or at least the first couple cloudy layers of the internet that hide a person's identity has changed all that, as 'operatives' and "workers' and volunteers spill the beans, esp, I guess if they become disenchanted... which seems somewhat inevitable. And by the way, is that pix next to your name an ElectraGlide...maybe not, it's really a tiny pic on my cpu, and doesnt seem to have the fender skirt on the front wheel, but it looks like a niiiiice bike. Ever boss, AR. <br><br>dr.e you know AR, I've volunteered in campaigns over the decades, and it seems like its always been what you call 'dirty pool,' except the difference now seems that it shows above ground so easily, quickly and clearly now.
