As the Prez said, "a thumping". More than anyone had predicted. But if you check out this post Tom Faranda’s Folly: the election and financial markets you’ll see that it did keep with history in that the House and Senate both changed party hands. In fact last night, watching the boob tube around 11pm, Harry … Read more
Voted in mid-afternoon. I have no party loyalty, having always been a registered independent. However I do have loyalty to my principles. For the first time in at least eight years, I voted for a major party candidate for an office other then President. I voted for John Spencer for Senator. Of course he’s got … Read more
