Hopeful that Biden wins and Trump goes down in flames. Would be better if we had flipped the senate as well. Too bad house seats lost. If Trump could do what Queen Elizabeth to Mary Queen of Scots, I'm sure he would.

Stop ignoring experts.

Let me just say here: the reason Georgia is more blue is STACEY ABRAMS. A few days ago,I posted an article here about how she took on registering voters after her gov defeat and REGISTERED 800,000 VOTERS. This is GRASSROOTS.

I'm going to go back and find the article. One man is quoted as saying “It's not a miracle. It is hard work."

All these voters didn't suddenly have it in themselves to go out and vote, They were sought out and registered by the organization of StacEy Abrams.

I have a good friend, Divine, who is from, as she calls it, the "Kentucky side of Ohio". She has some hilarious stories about some of her country cousins.

My Mom grew up dirt poor in the Depression. The best memory of her childhood was the annual school field trip to the Hershey chocolate factory. Every kid got a full size Hershey bar. It was her favorite candy to the day she died. It always made her smile.

Divine, while I am in Texas now my family traces back to Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania! I grew up in West Virginia; went to college, married and raised a family in Ohio.

I thought djt sounded like a whiny 2 or 3 year old this evening.

Divine, I love your niece's quote! I hope it's okay if I post it on my Facebook page.

DivineMrsM

Trish, what a wonderful memory your mom had of the Hershey candy factory.

Beaverntx, love hearing that you also have a tri-state connection to OH PA and WV

Trill1943

Ladies, love hearing about your memories of growing up in various places.....I'm a Marylander but love PA and NY--have/had relatives in both.....especially Central NY--Finger Lakes region--no one in Ohio, though.....but sounds like a great place......

I dozed off in the middle of The Bachelorette (don't hate me..) and dreamed that Trump was shouting "But her emails!" from the podium.....

Divine - I know what Stacey (with an 'e') Abrams did. The post stated "One overlooked reason".

Here's an excerpt from the article I mentioned about Stacey Abrams registering voters.

Serenity, thanks for the correction of her name spelling.

Oct. 24, 2020, By Phil McCausland

ATLANTA — Karen Ashley has walked with a handful of older Black men, residents of a low-income housing development, to the State Farm Arena each day early voting has been available in Georgia.

These strolls, which she called "wheelchairs and walkers to the polls," are the culmination of months of work, including candidate forums and debate watch parties she held at the apartment building.

As the director of resident services at Friendship Towers, Ashley, 59, said she aimed to get all 106 residents — many of whom did not complete high school and had never voted before — to cast their ballots.

"I had the thought one time when I was looking at all of the negative back and forth between this group and that," she said while accompanying some residents back to their homes. "And I said, 'They don't even consider this population.' I said, 'Guys, this is what we're gonna do. We're gonna register, we're gonna vote and your voice will be counted.'"

Georgia races have grown increasingly tight in the past few years, which is why it remains the main target for Democrats. Since losing the state's race for the governorship by only 50,000 votes, Stacey Abrams and her voter rights organization, Fair Fight, have helped register more than 800,000 new voters in the state.

By engaging with new voters in the South — many of them young and minorities — Democratic candidates hope to find a pathway Nov. 3 in a region often disregarded by their party and increasingly dominated by Republicans in the decades after President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act.

Rev. Raphael Warnock, the leading Democratic candidate for Georgia's Senate special election, is Black and the pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, a pulpit made famous by Martin Luther King, Jr. He sees hope in the new Southern demographic. He worked with Abrams to register those 800,000 voters and noted that 49 percent of them are people of color and 45 percent are under the age of 30.

"This is not magic," he said. "It's hard work over time, and it's a deep commitment to the noble idea that your vote is your voice and your voice is your human dignity."

DD will only live on the west coast because her husband is Asian. The GS look exotic, but not easy to place. With longer hair and beards they look middle eastern. DS's wife is half Asian. Their older GS looks entirely Caucasian but the younger is clearly part Asian. On the west coast we all fit in.

We lived in Texas for all too long. The prejudice against people of color was unbelievable. One year all the car license plates from the black neighborhoods started with NGR. No need to see the driver before a traffic stop.

I have never spent time in the eastern part of the country. It sounds really pretty. I have seen Maine and New Hampshire. I was born in California but moved to Kansas when my parents divorced and to Okla after my mother died. DH was going to Rice U. so we lived in Houston after we were married.

Faithless electors should go to the bad place.....

Sounds like my family, wrenn. My only grandson, my son's son, has dark blond hair like his mother. His eyes are vaguely almond shaped and he tans like nobody's business.

Funny thing is, he looks very much like a dear friend of mine, who is 100% Polish. Guess that Mongol blood comes through here and there. Shows me just how interrelated we all are.
