19. I am a newbie...

Oct 2012

Though just a newbie to this site, I'm on Dkos and have been for quite a while...I've not posted as much as I've read because I do understand tis the season of the trolls--concerned or obnoxious, they are out there. But as the original poster said, some people are looking for info, or support or like my husband the recovering Republican, trying to find a place under the big tent with people who are a little more like minded then GOP after the birth of the Tea Party. It's a rough election that's for sure--Like everyone else I'm looking for info and when I can find it, peace of mind. Although the latter is often hard to come by at present! I do hope tomorrow night will settle some nerves and help us all concentrate on GOTV and moving..erm..Forward! ) Yeah I know..cheesey but it was there!
