What the Obama camp is doing to protect voters: http://washingtonindependent.com/16281/obama-lawyers-defend-%E2%80%98vote-fraud%E2%80%99-efforts

Those are cool booths.

Am I a curmudgeon for not wanting to donate my Facebook status to "get out the vote". Just seems kind of. . pointless.

Nah, I'm not sure how it would actually help get the vote out. Maybe better to write your own message anyway.

I know, those booths are HOTT

Hello all, to enrage dan further I am in venice and about to go eat dinner in one of the world's truly great bars. Tinged a little with regret that to save money I booked us into a self catering flat with no internet and bad cell service so my information nipple is shriveled and dry.

I'm drinking a lot of today's display name, though.

I don't know if I'm madder about the European jaunting or the fact that you just used the phrase "information nipple".

iNipple -- coming January 2009. And won't Steve Jobs' demonstration of it be something.

Meantime, what's with people in Andover?

"Minnesota Nice" apparently isn't?

Minnesota Thorough!

holy crap

Honestly, the only thing about that story that surprises me is lack of HSTNGS content.

Hey, our beloved former governor, Jesse Ventura, did once say you'd never hunted until you'd hunted MAN.

One coke too many stolen from the office fridge.

He was truly a Law and Order governor.

about to go to the partay, need bouze, on edge...

I have to go pick the kids up from school, so booze at my house is probably many hours away. SADLY

wait, we have a state muffin????

Kind of a generic state muffin though, shouldn't it be mosquito and ludefisk or something?

Do not confuse state muffin with state pie.

State motto: some sorta swishy French talk by communists

wtf MN is not upstate New York!

our state motto is something boringly self-loathing in Norwegian

Why why WHY didn't I take Norwegian at Olaf when I had the chance?!

wau you would think it would take a computer program less than 3 minutes to translate "my mother doesn't love me" from English to Norwegian but I guess you would be wrong

It is hard for even computers to fathom the bizarre sequence of letters that is the Norwegian language.

...so MSNBC calls PA and slew of other states for Obama; I cannot enjoy this moment because my Dad was on the phone asking for computer help. ARGH

I have seriously got to stop answering my telephone.

BREAKING NEWS! - CNN CALLS MINNESOTA FOR OBAMA WITHIN 10 SECONDS OF THE POLLS CLOSING - BREAKING NEWS!

i was enjoying the fakeout drama they were trying to pull about "Minnesota potentially still up for grabs oh no wait syke duh of course losers"

I had a hard time imagining Minnesota going Republican this year of all years after not doing so since 1972...

So yeah, I am pleased with how fast we were called.

Still waiting for more states to be called for Obama before I feel even remotely satisfied, though.

Okay, so Ohio being called for Obama = me at least remotely satisfied.

haha yeah i saw mccain 0% Obama 0% - we call Obama!

Just flip a coin, it's statistically relevant!

You guys!!! Hastings constituency: I love you guys!

hahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa yes btw

i am v v happy for you, my surrogate country. but i am sad that prop will most likely go thru and poor gayz will get no more marriage :(

on a brighter note, MN looks like it is going to vote in a constitutional amendment that establishes a .75% addition to state wide sales tax that can only be spent on the environment and the arts!!!

for the next 35 years. not revokable.

oops that is supposed to read 'prop 8'

i love my state v v much tonight. (i am choosing to ignore this whole michelle bachmann problem.)

I love Minnesota sooooooo much, and also the USA returning to sanity.

!!!!!!!

Is Prop. 8 really going to pass in CA? I hope to god not.

me too :(

Ew. Any Franken news? My cousin said it was 300 votes apart.

I think it's going to be morning before that race is called.

coleman is now 15000 votes ahead.

also, the envrio/art amendment is going to lose because people who didn't choose yes or no count as a no vote. t (o_O t)
