Some election day thoughts:<\/p>\n

  • NPR did a great story about negative campaign ad announcers<\/span><\/a> yesterday.\n
  • There will be no “I Voted” stickers left at my local polls by 6:15 p.m.\n
  • Michael Steele<\/span> had some great ads. I wonder if his little sister loves puppies.\n
  • No one will be happy with the overall results.\n
  • No matter who wins the Virginia Senate race, Virginians lose.\n
