Partisan Voting

So this upcoming Tuesday (January 19) is the special election to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy’s seat. And I am less than thrilled with my options: Martha Coakley and Scott Brown.  But in the end, I cannot have Ted Kennedy’s seat go to a Republican.  I just can’t.  But I really don’t like Martha Coakley – she is blah.

But the amount of money being pumped into this election is insane.  Seriously ads are everywhere.  It is not uncommon to watch TV and see pro-Brown, followed by an anti-Coakley, followed by another anti-Coakley and then pro-Coakley, and an anti-Brown.  It is crazy.  In fact, there is a robocall message being left on my phone right now about the election.  It is everywhere.  And I bet Obama is pissed that the DNC let it get this close and he had to come up to Mass to stump for Coakley.  He probably had better plans for a Sunday then to come up here.

At least the Cowboys are out of the playoffs.  Next hope is the Jets lose.  Then Brown loses.

    Scott Brown keeps calling us at home. I don’t know why because
    a) We live in California and
    b) Neither of us voted for his party the last two elections.

    Plus, he’s probably a Jets fan.

  2. Teresa says:

    His daughter just called us, too. Stop stalking me!

  3. Papa Dan says:

    This election looms as a potential land mine for the democrats. It is increasingly more important that theydo not lose this seat.

    Hey, how do you like my J-E-T-S, Y’a gotta believe.

    Why does the Brown family love you so much Teresa? Why?
