Why are so many of the losing incumbents and losing candidates for election behaving so poorly? It’s an exercise in classlessness, from my point of view.
Take soon-to-be former Senator Elizabeth Dole from North Carolina as an example. Her concession speech was not conciliatory, it was not gracious, nor was it very polite and she [...]
It’s been 4 days since Election Day. I haven’t updated the Elections Page, but I will. There’s just been a lot to process (politically and otherwise) for me.
Senator Barack Obama won by a pretty large margin (his 53% to McCain’s 46%). Check out President-Elect Obama’s Transition Office’s website for more information on his transition staff and [...]
NC’s presidential race has tightened into a virtual tie. Obama and McCain at 49%.
Senator Elizabeth Dole has conceded her seat and will return to Washington, D.C. in January. Kay Hagan will be the Junior Senator from North Carolina.
The Onslow County Commissioner race has shifted: Ikner, Jarman, Padgett, Midgett, Keller now lead.
Obama still leads McCain in the state (50% to 48%) but trails in Onslow (43% to McCain’s 56%).
Hagan leads Dole in the state (52% to 43%) but trails in Onslow (46% to Dole’s 49%).
Jones, Jr. leads Weber in NC-03 (67% to 32%) and Onslow (60% 39%).

We all know Tuesday is Election Day here in the U.S. I’m sure it’s an election that the world will be watching, as well as very nervous Americans.
I’ll be posting frequent updates here (probably every half-hour to hour) and will be Twittering updates as well.
The races I’ll be paying particular attention to are:
President of the [...]

Contact your elected representatives and urge them not to support the Bush Administration’s $700,000,000,000 bail-out of Wall Street on our tax-dime. The Bush Plan has no support for Main Street Americans or home-owners that face foreclosure. The Administration’s plan also specifically denies Americans any course of action for oversight or recourse against the government’s actions [...]

Beth, the writer at bikelovejones says we should contact our Senators and ask them to support the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008.
This legislation will do all kinds of good stuff to improve America’s energy situation, but specifically, it provides tax benefits for bicycle commuters.
