I will be going at lunch to vote against several terrible choices on the left and then to a good BBQ place a block away.

Beto is practically Mexican. I mean, his name is Beto.

Prior to getting into politics his nickname was O'Beto. He dropped the O'

Had to do that after leaving the scene of a accident.

Looks like the polls have Senate candidate John James and Governor candidate Bill Schuette down a few points in Michigan. Always seems to be an uphill battle here to win for republicans.

Thaaaat's good. Democrats should be wearing that one out. LOL

and I will sell you a brand new 1974 Lada.......cheap

sorry for the last commit.......had a brain fart...... I can't vote, but from an outsider I really would like to the see the Republicans gain control and put things right because the 8 years of Democrats sure messed things up for you guys, but I also wish "Trump" would just take it down a notch. and maybe it would make that pill easier to take .....I'm sorry if I pissed anybody off which I'm sure I did, because we have the same problem up here ....and its hard to talk politics without pissing off someone....

by the way that Lada is setting right beside my brand new Datsun 510 also 1974

As long as you don't launch a personal attack against someone, it's all good.

The Lada comment was great, BTW

Incidentally, my prediction for tomorrow's election is .. Whoever has the biggest turnout and garners the most votes will win.

I stole that from Rep Tim Ryan (D-Ohio). Seriously, he said that.

Just personal observations here in Michigan. In 2016, there were plenty of Trump yard signs in my neck of the woods. Very few Hillary yard signs. The polls had her winning from anywhere from 3 to something like 10 points. Trump won by a small margin. With the midterms, I have seen a very small amount of senate and governor signs. Of those that I have seen, Witmer a slight advantage over Schuette. Miniscule amount of Stabenow signs. A few John James signs, but not many. Not much excitement with most of the candidates. The votes here will probably fall mosty on party lines. I do think James is getting some momentum at the end here though. He might be just a bit short of winning. Poll has him at 2 behind. Witmer up by 8.

Theres a ton of James signs in the Thumb. I was up past Imlay City, over to Croswell and Lexington over the weekend along M-90.

Ok thanks, I haven't been up that way for a couple months. Port Austin.

It's been driving me crazy for several days who Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Brenda Snipes, reminds me of. Then a little while ago it hit me.

It's Jobu from the movie Major League.
