Re; Election Wrapup

I think that should have been "Can't ignore the elephant out of the room" anyway I was glad to see Webb win despite that rug. I'm sure the whole "vote against the republican" thing had alot to do with it but in my mind his resume was far superior to Allen's. Our list of celebrity callers was way less impressive than Steve's. Topping our list was Newt Gingrich and Laura Bush. My interest in politics has always been sort of luke warm at best [probably just a bad attitude]. Over the last few years I have warmed up to it a little more and taken a more active interest in issues and elections. This time around it was hard to ignore with my home state in the spotlight and the real feeling that your vote counted more now than ever. In MX racing there is a saying, "When the gate drops the bullshit stops" meaning time to stop running your mouth and live up to all you said you were. If you don't at least show up on the podium you are nothing but a bullshitter. In my mind the gate has now dropped in Washington.
