Twas Two Days Before Midterms
By Carole on Oct 31, 2010
Twas two days before midterms and all through the nation
Everyone waited in anticipation
The voting machines were all lined up in rows
In hopes they'd record what folks actually chose

Now Obama Seeks Common Ground?
By Carole on Oct 30, 2010
In his weekly radio address today, President Barack Obama claimed "it's the fundamental responsibility of all who hold elective office to seek out common ground." Then he complained about comments by some of his political opponents and said "we need to put this kind of partisanship aside - win, lose, or draw."

According to a new poll, Ms. O'Donnell, who was trailing by 19 points just two weeks ago, has erased nearly half of that margin and now trails by 10 points (51%-41%). And the distance between them may be even smaller since this poll was taken before the latest sexist attack against the Republican and the backlash that has resulted from it.
