Every vote counts
Don't let anyone tell you -- don't tell yourself -- that your vote doesn't make a difference.
As of 5:40 this morning, the race to represent District 19 (that's my district) in the California Senate between Democrat Hannah-Beth Jackson and Republican Tony Strickland is 51.1-49.9 percent; 153,106 to 152,998.
Jackson is leading by 2/10 of a percent, 108 votes.
And in the race for the U.S. Senate between Minnesota's Norm Coleman, the Republican incumbent, and Al Franken, the reprehensible Democratic candidate and once-upon-a-time, supposedly-funny SNL-writer/performer, the results are:
Coleman: 1,210,790
Franken: 1,210,028
That's a 42-42 statistical tie.
Gadzooks.
Every vote counts. Keep it in mind for the next election.

Yesterday people all over the United States rejected the philosophy of Tony Stricland's Republican Party. Endless war, corruption, wasteful spending, the neglect of the poor, capitalist greed and other wrongs will be addressed and corrected by Barack Obama. Obama gives me hope for a better world. Give peace a chance!
