I think you and Annie and I all voted the same ticket, Lauren.

Maybe if there are enough of us, we can add something to the “straight ticket” options. Maybe call it the “Backlash ticket” or something.

Byrd isn’t the longest serving Senator. Thurmond served a little more than Byrd has. Byrd will only overtake Thurmond if he serves through 2007, i.e. if he doesn’t die in the next year.

I don’t want to even think anyone’s talking about a Presidential run for Bayh. He’s a pro-war, anti-civil liberties conservative. Republicans in New York are more liberal than he is.

Shit, Annie, we must have voted the same ticket.

I wonder what significant changes this will bring, if any.

I voted rather haphazardly, voting for Libertarians when given the “choice” and Dems when they were they only other “option”, and when it was just a Repub I didn’t vote. Of course, our district used Diebold machines, and what with their proprietary software, I had zero confidence. I will say I’m glad Basham is out.

Bayh’s a little weak in some areas of concern to me, but it would certainly be interesting if he chose to run.

(On a side note, Anna’s working with Vargus down at IUPUI.)

We hoosiers rocked yesterday! :)

I also support Bayh, I like the guy.

And I got to vote Count Chocola out of office yesterday… oh what a good day. :)
