KFOX news in El Paso just reported that early voting...

[Nana]

..ended today with 84,000 already voted and 15,000 more expected today...approximating 99,000 early voters compared to 60,000 in 2000.

Bad news today as my daughter learned a friend was killed this morning in a motorcycle accident which was also covered on the news. He was about 23 years old.

1. Well, Rove miscalculated again.

His strategy was based on a regular, moderate turnout.

He probably has no concept of how enraged people are in this country.

2. I'm sorry your daughter must be devistated. It's a rough age for that.....

I guess there is no good age but especially that age. Good news about voters though.

3. Goddamn motorcycles.

I'm sorry for your daughter's loss. 23 is too young.

4. Sorry Nana ...

I feel your pain. My stepbrother, 23 as well, broke his neck in a motorcycle accident this past July. My fundy friend (I often mention in postings), was incapacitated by motorcycle accident at ... yup, 23 - although back in '92. Please pass my condolences to your daughter. :hug:
