Election Day

It’s funny. I took part in the Massachusetts early voting program this year and cast my mid-term election ballot a couple of weeks ago. While I am very grateful to be able to vote ahead of time, it does really suck the life out of the actual election day. It’s like opening your Christmas presents early. When the big day comes, it’s not a big deal anymore.

As a Democrat in Massachusetts it’s safe to say that my votes were not really necessary. The polls and the fund raising all point to landslide victories for all of the Democratic party candidates. That’s fine with me. If you live in a state with more closely contested races, I really hope you make it to the polls today, if you haven’t already, and I hope you vote Democrat. Say no to nazis disguised as republicans.

Fascism = bad.

Happy election day. Here’s hoping it’s not the last one we get.

2018 Mid Term Elections

There are only eight Republican Senators up for reelection in the next mid term election. We need to beat them all. Every last one.

It’s time to start grooming Democratic candidates. Do it now. We need to have everything ready. We need a massive Democratic mandate in 2018. Let’s get to work, Democratic National Committee. The time is now.

Bring it on.

Welcome to My (Political) Nightmare

Well that sucks. The Republicans now control both houses of Congress in Washington. So much for any progress being made at the Federal level over the next two years. My only hope now is that they cock things up further and get swept out of Capital Hill and the White House in 2016.

Oh yeah, and they took the Governor’s office in Massachusetts too. With Charlie Baker in the state house it’s only a matter of time before people start begging for Deval Patrick to come back. Urgh.

Now, to the Democrats in Massachusetts I have to ask this favor: Can we please, for the love of all things sacred on this Earth, Stop Nominating Martha Coakley? How many times does she have to lose a major election to an idiot before we realize that she is just plain un-electable? Enough is enough.

The only silver lining to last night’s results doesn’t have any effect on me personally. The race that pissed me off more than any other happened in a state in which I do not live. Scott Brown lost his bid for the New Hampshire Senate. Thank you, New Hampshire. Now if he and Martha Coakley can just do us all a favor and go away, that would be great. Thanks.

In closing, looking ahead to 2016, just let me say that in the 2012 Presidential Primary election I voted for Hillary Clinton. I am more than ready to do so again. Suck on that, universe.
