(7,310 posts)"Red Mirage"... A Blue Tsunami against a red mirage! (go Blue!)
I'm a cynic, I'll admit. Some days (like today) I'm cautiously optimistic. Other days, my anxiety level hits fever pitches. Bush v Gore is always in the back of my mind, tho. It just floored me that SCOTUS stopped the counting, called for the case, and then seated a President all by themselves, extra-constitutionally. I never in a million years thought my country would do something so third-world!
Frankly, I think all the polling is skewed and sucks. They want to keep T's spirits up and try to keep his energy level high enough to get through the election. After that, they'll replace him post-haste with Vance. But I don't see that happening. Listening to some podcasts tonight, and doing some research, I downloaded by sample ballot, researched all the judgeships we have to vote on, filled out the sample ballot, and am in the process of making copies for hubby and grandson. Thankfully, we all vote the same, or they'd have to do their own research!
We also decided to go ahead and vote early when it opens on the 16th or 17th, and be part of that huge early voting bloc that's getting counted now. At least I can go to the courthouse to vote and not the church if I do that!
