Yeay (not)

Here's to two more years of absolute and utter gridlock as we kick the can a little further down the road.

I wonder if Gov. Romney will take the hint this time? This makes 7 years of uninterrupted campaigning for the Oval Office, and he still lost. Is he going to try for 12 years of being a professional candidate? (BTW, the first 2 of those years he was SUPPOSED to be running the Commonwealth of Massachusetts)

Does anyone know if you don't vote for a while to you get unregistered? Hubby and I went together as usual and he wasn't on there, I think he was overseas during the last major election and sometimes he doesn't vote in the smaller elections.

edit just found the secretary of state's website if you don't vote in several consecutive elections you can be dropped. My daughter thats off to college was going to vote for the first time too but her GPS lead her astray and she didn't want to be late for work, she had a short time before classes and before her job.

Well, for the first time in a while, no robocall hang-ups on my answering machine this morning! I'm sure it'll still take a few days for the election-related junk mail to cease ... but that's one nice development, anyway ...

What???? No one commenting on the outcome of the election yet? I'm kinda surprised at that.

I'm not surprised at all with the results, however, I thought it would be closer than it was. Like down to recounts closer. One good result tho - Mr Romney said that he is done. No more time spent running for president. We can only hope that he really means it.

Hmmm - since Pres Obama can't run again, does anyone think that Joe Biden will give it a shot?

Does this mean we can resume the war on women?

Well, I hear Hillary Clinton might take a stab at running next time. But I do believe Old Joe has his beady eyes on running too. Perhaps they will team up.

Guess I'll enjoy my little 1.7% increase in Social Security next year. It will be the last for 3 years when they start wanting seniors votes for next election.

(and before you all jump on me... that is exactly what happened this last 4 years)

A whopping 1.7 %. I'm underwhelmed. Medicare will probably go up and wipe that out really fast. My supplemental health insurance already notified me of a $12 increase starting in April.

Hillary and Joe??? - what a combo that would be. I don't think Joe has a chance tho - most people find him to be too caustic and abrasive. Personally, I think he's a hoot, but hoots don't make good presidential material.
