This happens pretty much every election cycle in non-Super-Tuesday states, I find. Us DC residents are just giddy that, for probably the only time in our entire lives, our votes might actually have an effect on something. The MD people I guess feel the same, and the Virginians, well, they are easily confused so it's not shocking they're who showed up early.

Oh dear, you've made me all hungry. Sadly, the only diners I've found down here (ATL) are either (a) way-too-upscale-bougie-nostalgia outfits that serve poached salmon and shakes-from-powder, or otherwise acceptable but staffed by cranked-out twenty-somethings, which just isn't the same as wizened ladies with nicotine for blood.

Also there's Waffle House, where I ended up last week, and where my server looked a bit too much like one Miss Noxeema Jackson, on a really bad night (1/appetizing).

A cynic to the end...as giddy as the thought of any/all of these going down is, I fear that not only will they wiggle away, but that the Democrats will fail to even manage serious gains in the wake.

I still sit in slightly terrified anticipation of who runs for 2008. Hillary is, I think, unelectable until at least 2012 (and by 2020 Chelsea might be ready and a better bet). Biden is as usual a wet fish. Obama isn't ready. Who else is there?

Hope you're having fun here! In that area, you *must* go to Samatha's on University Blvd. and have a pupusa. Just sayin...

While here in DC, which one might argue is a highly probable target, we just have jersey barriers and foreboding announcements and, yes, creepy posters.

Can't say I mind the lack of useless security measures here, but considering I spend 10+ hours a day sitting atop one of the busier Metro stations, I guess I'd appreciate some useful security.
