A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Polls
Well, here it is in Santa Fe, New Mexico, the morning after, Nov. 3.
Our Hip Hop Voter Project Election Night Party was an incredible success. A ton of people, all gathered together, watching the results, drinking cheap drinks, listening to hip hop. Of course, it was also the most incredibly depressing night any of us has ever had.
New Mexico still hasn't declared results, though, clearly, Bush will win. Even last night, Gov. Bill Richardson was still predicting Kerry would pull it out by a percent, I don't know how that will happen. Anyway, keep your eye on the New Mexico Secretary of State's website, which is updating results every 15 minutes. Here, at the Reporter, we have reporters in the field gathering some morning after reporting, which we'll post on our website sometime today. Of course, we'll also have followup next week.
But until then, here are my questions:
1. How could the Dems be taken so unaware by all the new Republican voters?
2. How could we be taken so unawares by the predominance of moral issues guiding this election
3. What is the Left going to do about it?
In speaking with numerous friends this morning, it became clear that something needs to give. We need to get subversive. Maybe we need to start lying, like the Right does, then get in power, then do what we want to do. Because clearly what we're doing now ain't working.
Hey: is it too early to start drinking?
