on the bright side a neurologist from northwestern univ has found the common denominator in all als patients/ a gene that produces too much ubiliquin 2 protein that gets in the pathway of the brain sending signals to the muscles. so once they know where the problem is who knows they may be able to fix me yet

Florida doesn’t even matter tonight. It’s over without their results.
looking at the maps it is obvious that the country is continuing its previous rural/urban split

within the states I meant. The big cities vote Dem and the rural parts vote Rep. of course there are some exceptions but state after state map they showed indicated much of that split.
I think polarization is becoming a bigger problem and makes it harder to get things accomplished between parties.
I’m an independent and I like some things of each and don’t like some things of each so I really got no axe to grind about the election. I agree with many of the commentators though that embracing the Tea Party as much as they did hurt them. Said that it was likely over when he named Ryan and campaigned for some Congressman like Mourdock.
oh well, at least its over, and even though I’m not really banging a drum here I hope it isn’t over the line. If it is just delete it.

It’s fine noles, I can take the ribbings. I do deserve them much of the time anyway. I’ve learned to cope with my life though.
Just disappointed that the work I helped with (which caused my schoolwork to slightly suffer) is wasted. A very empty and lonely feeling. Hopeless. Glad it’s over though.
Life goes on, it’ll all be okay. At least I hope so. My life will improve.

I actually got a recorded message from the RNC to go vote at 6:55 p.m. I already had of course. What a waste of good money. At least all those negative ads made the race in Va. too close to call until tomorrow. KUDOS to Va. for not slamming the doors in people’s faces at 7:00 p.m. and withholding results for an hour and a half so all people still standfing in line could vote without influence from the running tabulation in the media.

Although we (my side) reaped the benefits of the EC a couple of elections back, I have never understood the need for the EC. It cheapens the votes of many folks on a national level.
For me and VJ, it doesn’t matter which President we want, our vote doesn’t really count.
I’d like to see some changes to eliminate the EC. (Even if Obama gets the popular vote this time)

I have been in Utah for the past 10.5 years now. Was in SC before that. Spent 15 years in California in the 70’s and 80’s. So I’ve been around a bit.
