[AllentownJake]

14. The Scenic Lehigh Valley (Allentown)

Although this nice weather is killing is. The not home percentage doubled today.

[Voice for Peace]

I'm from Council Rock. Classs of 78.

[AllentownJake]

We are the Trojans the might mighty Trojans lol

[Voice for Peace]

38. LOL You are the ones so famous for protecting everybody, just like DHS

[Condem]

40. Jake

New school? I remember Allentown Allen, Easton and Bethlahem Catholic but no Parkland.

[AllentownJake]

73. Not a new school

Parkland's been around since the 30s it used to be the hick school with all the farmland. Now there is no farm land just sprawling subburbs so its now a subburban school district. It covers upper macungie, S. Whitehall, and Whitehall.

[Condem]

84. Jake

Thanks for the work. You are doing us all proud. Predictions? Ah, fuck it . To serious of a question tonight.

[AllentownJake]

86. I can't speak

for the rest of the state. I can't speak for my county All I can speak for is my township. We've had about 20 people organize here in the past 4 weeks and we are kicking ass and taking names.

[Condem]

88. Kick asss, Jake!

[Voice for Peace]

89. Speaking for yourself is a lot. Keep on kicking ass and taking names and keep on keeping us informed

[Condem]

91. The Deer Hunter, Jake

Fuckin' A!

[rasputin1952]

109. Thanks for the hard work...I've been canvassing here in NE...

just got another 3 students at the college to register yesterday...they all registered D btw...:D

We had our caucus, expected 25-30 people, got 300+...for Nebraska that is incredible, and that was just my district.

[Condem]

111. Rasputin

Is it possible Nebraska can go blue?

[Voice for Peace]

115. Anything, anything is possible. Of course I don't live in Nebraska so I have no idea.

[rasputin1952]

129. I can tell you...bush has really hurt the GOP in NE...

people are pretty sick of him. The last real supporters of in the GOP ranks are the anti-choice people, and there are plenty of them. When I speak quietly and on the side w/many of them, they are wondering what happened to the PArty of Lincoln...amny call it the Party of Coolidge now. Most are surprised we haven't gone into a full blown depression, and these people are pretty savvy about such things. They all realize, although they'd never admit it publicly, that bush's economic policies are shored up by nothing more than foreign debt...and some of these people are afraid that the "Chinese will own our farms and businesses in the near future."

One other thing I've heard, si that this "hero" stuff about McCain disgusts almost every one of them. While everyone respects McCain's service, (as do I), the big question is "what did he do that was so damned heroic?" They also see him as an extension of bush's policies, and that could well be his death knell.

Habits are hard to change though, and since this state has gone red for so long, it is difficult to project what will happen in the voting booth.

[rasputin1952]

123. Honestly, I doubt it, but I can tell you that over the past couple

of years, I've personally handed out well over 500 voter registrations, I keep a bunch on me at all times when out and about. Over 400 have given them back to me to hand in at the Courthouse...all but 3 have gone D or I...the other 3 went R, (and yes, I turned those in to the courthouse as well). The other 100+, I can't say what the registered as, but I truly hope they sent the forms in. This year has a marked increase in registrations, and I'm happy to say, it is the youth that is stepping up to the plate...:D

As for the local GOP...they are soiling their collective pants. Where this was solid R country, they have lost a lot of support. No one around here likes McCain, but they don't like HRC either, Obama is "iffy" in the GOP circles around here. I have seen some aspects of racism, but that is generally guided to Hispanics...racism is racism to me, regardless of the the perpetrator or the victim, and I fight it wherever I can, but it runs deep in some people...x(

Last cycle, Fortenberry(R), our Rep for this district won by only 7%age points, unheard of prior top this point. And while we have one R and one D in the Senate...w/Hagel leaving this year, a solid D could actually win...:)

One thing that has turned people against the GOP is bush and this war. Almost every community has had people shipped off to this damnable thing, and well over half of the counties have buried at least one casualty. With the seemingly. "I don't give a damn" attitude of the administration, people see McCain as one more insane fool that will drag this on for many a year.

I have to say, that even though the majority of the people of NE are R's, they're pretty damn good people as far as people go. The NE GOP has been trying to "force" them to vote McCain...and a good portion of them are rebelling...a lot of that has to do w/"buyer's remorse" after seeing what bush has done to the country.

[Condem]

125. Rasputin

Saw Springsteen in Omaha a month ago. He really tempered his "rantings against Bush". A tough crowd. Nevertheless, I hear of huge strides in my border state. Best of luck. We need ya!

[rasputin1952]

126. Omaha and Lincoln could well go D, if they do, the rest of the

state won't matter much.

I thought about running against Fortenberry myself, but it takes a lot of cash and knowing the right people to move forward in the party. If he makes it this time, I'm going to really hammer on the D party and get someone up there that can take that clod out. I think people voted for him just because there's an R after his name...he's a complete moron, never worked an honest day in his life. We used to have Doug Bereuter, another R, but a moderate to a degree, and he held local meetings at least twice a year. Fortenberry has been here twice since he's been in the House, once for a "debate", the other time, he went to the local R meeting up on "satan's hill", where the wealthy live, for a private get together w/the local R bigwigs. I am amazed that anyone supports him...He truly is an idiot.

[Condem]

127. I'll tell you, Rasputin, on a personal note

I loved Omaha. Never been treated better in our lives. Great people. I'll be back.

[rasputin1952]

130. Thanks...I'm NW of there, but it is a nice city...

:hi:

[Voice for Peace]

142. Thanks for that insight into NE and your work registering people.

It's inspiring. Obama seems to be a whole new category of politics, I'm looking forward to the GE and seeing how many of these people vote for him.

[rasputin1952]

144. There is the slight possibility NE may go blue for the GE...

a lot depends on who shows up in Omaha and Lincoln, and if the majority of R's stay home...:D The ratio out here is about 2:1 in favor of the R's right now, but we're closing in on the #'s. People are truly sick of the GOP after the bush horror...just took them longer to realize it...:)

[rug]

9. It distracts me from my bitterness.

[Voice for Peace]

[Yael]

26. Finals are over, seder isn't until next week, my 'BF' told me yesterday

that he was married (thinking I would have no problem with the concept).

I am pretty much free all night.

:D

[Voice for Peace]

29. sorry, that's a bummer.

or not? or both.

[Yael]

37. I had like all of them lined up for today

but got up early and finished my final (electronic submission).

Called my aunt at 7p to let her know that seder is next week (after correction from another DUer earlier) and said goodbye to the clod yesterday.

A sudden Saturday free to post on DU.

I have no life.

:woohoo:

[Voice for Peace]

43. I'm not sure if I should be sympathetic as it's always best to get rid of clods

[Yael]

50. Truth be told

he was working on my last nerve anyway.

There just aren't enough hours in the day -- and we all have to prioritize. He was slipping down the list fast.

Thanks for the concern! :pals:

[madrchsod]

65. oh that`s nice....

what a place to spend a Saturday night....!

[grantcart]

82. You sound like a fantastic woman and I would like to offer to come over and comfort you

but I have to get permission from my wife first. When you least expect it you will find the greatest people. Hope you have a big family at your seder.

[Yael]

90. HA!

Funny guy. :D

Small gathering this time -- But seeing as how my aunt cooked all day ( :rofl: ) it is entirely possible that we just join up with others at a group gathering/restaurant.

Have a great weekend!

[Voice for Peace]

27. I guess this needs to be about the primaries to qualify for GDp so.. here goes

Truth

[monmouth]

35. Saturday night, Al Pacino and I and the Godfather......sigh....

for the umpteenth time... I know dialogue to the point I can sit here and take the part of any mafioso in the film.....lol.

[DevonRex]

128. Sounds good. My husband makes me turn it off now. He's sick

of it. But I've still got a crush on Al.

[monmouth]

139. Met him when we were both 13. He was the sweetest boy I had ever met....sigh...n/t

[DevonRex]

143. *Sigh* I wish I had met him when I was 13. Or 20 or 30 or....

I met Tyrone Power, Jr. when I was about 13. He's no Al.

[nsd]

39. I don't have a life, but I do have a bottle of wine and an Internet connection.

Hmmm, I wonder if that's a good combination?

[Auntie Bush]

42. I'm too broke to got out and I'd be arrested for drunk driving!

I love it right here in my comfy chair in the peace and quiet of the woods around me. Besides we're saving our money to go out to dinner Tuesday and celebrate our 46th wedding anniversary! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[Voice for Peace]

47. wow 46 years is a lot of years to spend with somebody

59. Thanks Yael!

Nice of ya to comment.

[Yael]

67. I lost my dad a week after his 41st anniversary to my mom

I would have loved to been able to throw them a 50th. Your note made me live vicariously through you. :hug:

Have a blast on Tuesday!!

[Voice for Peace]

79. you have had too many losses. time for a winner.

[Yael]

85. Dad is at peace now after a battle with an aggressive form of cancer.

I am at peace now as well.

I am thrilled to be able to live vicariously through those who are/were able to attain milestones that he was not.

He would have approved.

[Condem]

93. Yael

Lost mom in 2001 to ovarian cancer. Then my old man gave up. Lost him last year.

[Voice for Peace]

96. It's sad but we all come and go. It's beautiful too. I feel sometimes like a tree

and I dropped my acorns and they've grown and they're good and strong, and that's my piece.

[Condem]

98. Voice

You've made my week.

[Voice for Peace]

100. aww... you've made my night. thank you

[Yael]

113. I am sorry for your losses

It is so painful to watch a loved one die.

:hug:

[Auntie Bush]

92. I understand how you feel. I doubt if we'll be making our 50th either.

He has the big "C"...so we are reeeelly going to celebrate this one...big time!

However, I have a friend who celebrated their 50th a year early because they didn't think they'd make it. They ended up celebrating their 60th. I'll keep this in mind and think positive!

That's nice that you wanted to give them a 50th celebration and I'm sorry you didn't get the opportunity. A :hug: to you too.

[Yael]

110. Please enjoy your day and don't let anything mess with it!

[madrchsod]

[Condem]

72. Slippery Rock,PA?

[Voice for Peace]

75. LOL guess again. hint: "cheat and deceit capitol of the world"

or maybe "capital"

I never am sure which spelling is right for this one.

[madrchsod]

77. really? i thought it was the hometown of ronald reagan

there`s a big statue of him on a horse that`s going in our waterfront improvement...want to trade?

[Voice for Peace]

87. Sure, I'll trade a statue of Reagan for a live GW Bush

[madrchsod]

135. no thanks

[bicentennial_baby]

61. I do!

I lived in Pgh for 2 years, when I was 19-21 :D

[sniffa]

46. I'm watching The Empire Strikes Back

Star Wars ended at 8, and my god do I have some gripes about that.

1. If the Storm Troopers are clones of Jango Fett, why are they such terrible shots?

2. If they're clones, why are they all different heights and have different voices?

3. While the Death Star was orbiting Yavin to get in range of the rebel base on the moon, why didn't they just blow up Yavin? The destruction most likely would have taken out the moon, and if not, it would have shortened the trip.

[SoxFan]

54. My answers for you

1. They're inbred

2. Jango Fett was the original clone, but other "lines" were introduced as the Imperial era went on.

3. The same reason Tarkin wouldn't evacuate and W went into Iraq without an exit strategery: pure arrogant stupidity. If that doesn't work for you, I'll say that the composition of the gas giant would somehow screw up the planet kablooey gun's laser.

[Voice for Peace]

55. You are so right. So much unresolved, unexplained.

[Zachstar]

64. About #3

Recent allegations have shown that Vader was instrumental in a program to reduce costs running the death star.

The Vader campaign chooses not to conduct any interviews at this time.

[Voice for Peace]

74. They are known for their secrecy. Nobody likes them.

[rasputin1952]

116. I was watching that and flipping over to Terminator 3...

LOL...I "have" to be here...glad to know my life isn't the only one on the skids...:D
