Right now, I just want all the politicians to quit worrying about political power and focus on fixing all the issues in this country.  If they don't, they won't have to worry about power as they'll all be voted out in 2012, and I can almost guarantee it just by glancing at all the 2010 results.  Honestly, it's been getting harder and harder for me over the past decade to find anyone worthy of my vote.

Amen. That's one of the reasons why I quit being a democrat and joined a third-party.

Ironically, that's how long it's been since my state Georgia has been a "Blue State", it changed to Red and has stayed that way since Clinton left office.

General Weather Chat / Re: When Do You Expect the First Snowfall to Happen In Your Area?

Well although this isn't snow, my area did see sleet mixed with rain yesterday so it's the first wintry type weather we've seen so far, but I'm still waiting for that first snowflake to fall.

Thank you Evan, here's a revised version of the local observations. I think I'm gonna use these icons, I haven't decided yet.

I know it's WAY early, but does anyone have an idea of the 2012 Presidential candidates?

I'm hearing rumors that Sarah Palin wants to run for president. (totally doubt that.)

Here is what Sarah Palin is doing... she is neither denying nor confirming her presidential run because she knows she can keep up the media hype and interest that way. There is no way she will win a presidential run and everybody knows that. She really is a somewhat clever person and knows how to make $$$ off of her political views. I think she is smart enough not to run for office.

she acts more like she's a celebrity than she does a serious politician to me.

So does Obama in that regard. Appearing on The View, The Late Show, The Daily Show isn't very presidential imo

In other unrelated election news.... Keith Olbermann has been suspended 

True on the fact that I don't really understand why he would appear on The Daily Show, but it's not like he's the first politician to appear on a late night show.Ana was talking about Palin, not Obama which is why I brought that up. She can't even give a straight answer about a 2012 run, she has to beat around the bush by saying stuff like "Oh, I don't know if no one else better is running, I think it's something I should do." Either you want to run or you don't.

She seriously is not fit to be President and no I'm not saying that because she's a republican, she acts more like she's a celebrity than she does a serious politician to me.

I haven't updated this in nearly a year and from the previous post I made above, I can see why, what a total bust that turned out to be.  Anyways, I'm under my first Freeze Warning starting tomorrow night, it's kinda odd to me that they skipped over what could have been a Frost Advisory for tonight since it will be the first time we dip into the upper 30's and most likely there will be frost. There's also the possibility for snow in the GA mountains where little to no accumulation could occur and it's not out of the question that elevations below 1,500 could also see some snow flurries/showers briefly tonight and Friday.

I don't have time for politics, nor do I believe in political parties. There's too many other stuff going on in my life that's far more important.

Mike, are you saying that because you're annoyed by the dirty, negative ways politics have been the past couple of years or do you seriously don't care? I hope it's the former and not the latter because as Tyler said that's the reason were in the crapper. It makes me think about how people complain and whine about how they don't like the democrat, republican, independent, libertarian, or whatever that's in office, but they are the main ones who never vote or take the time to listen to the candidates on their policies and agendas so they can voice their opinions on who they trust to look out for them. I'm not saying you have to love the practice of politics, but I wouldn't take an attitude of completely discouraging myself away from it, you wouldn't want just any lunatic to walk off the street and be in charge and responsible for you and everyone's future in your city, state or country.

Well although a run off was expected here in GA for the Governor race, Nathan Deal (R) won. VERY Disappointed. Republicans pretty much swept every race in GA except for two house seats that stayed democratic.

Senate
47 (D)  39 (R) - Democrats expected to take control

House
117 (D)  153 (R) - Republicans expected to take control

Also Nancy Pelosi has lost her job as House Speaker. (Although I'm not surprised, the Healthcare blowup was her demise)

In regards to this election, we have given the Democrats a chance to turn things around and its clear that was a poor decision. Tomorrow will be a great day!

That is what you think. But not this time!    The republicans screwed America over big time for 8 years, and we have only just started to recover from that mess.  Yes, tomorrow will be a great day. For the democrats!!! We got a bunch of surprises up our sleeves tomorrow. 

Amen.
