It is 10pm here in Ohope Beach. 2:55am in Denver. I guess you can take the political junkie out of the country, but you can't get the "junkie" out of this girl (that didn't come out as smoothly as I had hoped,). I am trolling every website I can think of for Colorado Senate results and have been doing this, on and off, for hours today. Buck and Bennett are within 1% if each other. I've found the New York Times has the best breakdown of counties and their reporting status, but it's just too close to call. This reminds me of the night of the Bush/Gore disaster--albeit on a much, much smaller scale. And that one did not resolve quickly or cleanly. Yuck!
Being here really doesn't make it any more or less difficult to wait. I just hate the uncertainty.
Discussing politics with Lilly the other day, she told me she thought GOP stood for something like "good old people" until recently. I'm reminded of her comment after reading many reports today characterizing today's mid-term voter as "older" than the average voter in 2008. Some of the language used to describe "average" voters in this cycle really annoys me. Angry, scared, crazy. Oops. This is not supposed to be a political blog. Better stop and get to writing about NZ.
