that'll teach you to vacate the premises during an election... LOL. 

Actually we were in SF during the election..actually spent the day in the airport or plane as we were traveling home .  So I missed most of the pre-election coverage the few days before and didn't see much until we returned home at 8 pm election night.  Just in time to see that Marco Rubio had 51% of the votes at that time.  That sure made for a great welcome home. 

Well, there was nothing really to keep me here as my state was very dull.  What it really taught me is to just plain ignore CNN.  if I want a liberal spin, I can watch PMSNBC.

SF, eh?  Trying to educate the useless?

ya, no kidding.  The land of the fruit and nuts!  All that is except for my son...he's doing his Post Doc at the University of Central SF. 

On the plane home the college kid seated next to us said he has a friend with a small one bedroom apt right in the city for $3200 a month!!!  My son lives about an hour and a quarter outside of SF and pays $650 for a small one bedroom apt. That's considered a steal.   It cost a fortune every month to take public transportation for him to get to work and that's on top of walking the first two miles to get to it. 

You couldn't pay me to live there.  There's no price high enough to make me live in CA. 

Welll.... When I lived in SF, I was on the Military plan, so rent was not an issue (my step father was stationed at the Presidio).  As for SF itself, I loved it - just not to live there (the weather stinks).  But the public Transportation was good.  But yes, the housing prices are terrible.

As for the state, I really feel for my in-laws.  They have to suffer because of the idiocy of the coasters.  I only see bad things happening with the election of Moonbeam Brown.  I lived there when he was first governor and he was terrible then.

Having to watch CNN ....... Ha, ha, ha, ha!   What a penance!  

.................

Oh ya..I too was exhilarated by his win. I'm thinking he's going to be great for Florida and for the nation.

btw, KFC, Did you see that Maine elected LePage, a pro-life Republican governor. The first one since Reed I think back in the 60's!

I guess it is more appropriate than 3 Hail Marys and 4 Our Fathers.

Did you get to meet him?  I had a very nice picture taken of me and him in the paper.  He was so easy to talk to giving me plenty of time for our conversation.  I hope he makes it to President.  If so, I've got his poster with his signature on it.   

oh yeah...I've been watching that.  First Republican Governor in what 40 years?  It's been a long time. 

You lucky duck!

Republicans (and democrats) at the state level are rarely like they are at the federal level.  Connecticut just elected their first democrat governor in 20 years.  Yet I would put Maine to the right of Connecticut.

Montana, and the Dakotas are right of all of us, yet they have had democrat senators (and reps) for a long time.  They do not talk at home how they vote in DC.

It's hard to say in liberal New England who is right of who!  I never would have thought that even the "rightest" state of New Hamphsire, that has "Live free or die" licence plates, would go Democrat in 08, but it did!  The reason is that liberal carpetbaggers come from other states (Massachusetts is a biggy) and they work themselves into the local political offices and school boards. After a few years, they have control.

Do not confuse history (where the motto came from) with present day.  After all, it was Mass. that burned witches before they elevated them to the 3rd highest office in the land.

I didn't think I was. My point is New Hampshirans either have to change their liberal politics or their licence plates.

Want odds on which they are going to change?  I will give you 5-3 on the license plate.
