i am pretty disgusted by the election results. and yes, i voted, so i am entitled to say boo. my rep was re-elected, which was no shock. but i live in an area that is a small, relatively left-of-center island. i am shocked that the new maryland governor is a Republican. i am shocked that the GOP has pretty much taken over Congress.

i am annoyed that i had no choice against john warner for senate. (should i write in Mickey Mouse, Elizabeth Taylor, or Genghis Khan?”) i barked at the man when i came out of the voting booth. “you know, it is awfully hard to vote quickly when you have no choices.” it was worse in farifax, though – a friend had two uncontested GOP incumbents.

and i am scared that this seeming mandate for Bush's war on Sadaam means that war is inevitable.
