I voted

Posted By Jim Moscheck
I didn't get a sticker. sad As far as the freebies offered today IIRC I don't think you need proof you voted as it could be construed as buying your vote.

My wife, daughter, and I got in line this morning at 6:30 and I was #7. By 7:00 when the polls opened there were over 100 people each waiting in two precinct lines. We were out by 7:15.

I think the pundits are right and turnout is going to be huge.

Ain't democracy cool. 8)

ABC calls Penn

ABC called Pennsylvania and New Hampshire for Obama the moment the polls closed. Obama holding PA and NH is not unexpected, but the apparent non-competitiveness of these states is very bad for Mac nonetheless.

Jim

I've been watching the returns and they have totally disregarded Michigan. It's not on any boards, or in the list of states that polls closed at 8 PM.

Do you suppose it's to make it a little more interesting and keep folks watching the coverage a bit longer?

Bush Portrait: What's Missing?

Posted By Jim Moscheck
How about a Steve Martin fake arrow through his head since his whole eight years has been nothing but a running joke.

You've done one a hell of a job, Georgie. :S

I'm sure the stand up comediennes are really going to miss him.

On the one hand they over expose the guy and make him out to be a rock star, and then they sick lawyers on those who fall for their sham. He is a public figure, and should be treated just as previous Presidents have been treated.

Which is what Michael posted above. He should be treated like the other Presidents when it comes to using his image to suggest he's endorsing something.

Jim, I'm glad you're feeling better, but your arguments have been pretty weak. Answer Micheals last post above. What is his cut?

More Nagler thoughts

Posted By Jim Moscheck
Hi Greg,

This doesn't answer your question, but I find with higher powers and a refractor I don't particularly need wide field EPs and I'm usually content using UO volcano top Orthos in the 7 to 18 range along with a 2x barlow mostly for planetary views.
