It doesnt look like Ford Jr. the Demo for Tennessee is going to beat Corker the Repub, one of the states the Dems were hoping to gain for the Senate! :angry: Right now with 76% precincts counted Corker is winning 52% to 47%, so its not over but it isnt looking good for Ford Jr. :(

However the local news just said the turn out was so big ppl are still standing in line! That is a great sign for Ford. So I guess its gonna come down to the wire. The polls were suppose to close over 3 hours ago though, damn a lot of ppl must have went at the last moment. My dad left the house 10 mintes before the polls closed, he waited in line for over an hour and he votes at a VERY small library. Hopefully all the ppl who voted late voted mainly Democrat.

Hold up there are some votes missing in Memphis, a little over 11 precincts are not reporting. West Tennessee(Memphis) is almost ALL Democrat. What is going on? Nashville is middle TN and it goes both ways, while East TN is almost all Republican. Ford needs all the votes he can get, this is getting frustrating and is big news right now on the local news.

Breaking News: 2600 votes cant and wont be counted until tomorrow from Knox County which is in East TN. They are flying someone in from Colorado because there is a reading error, WTF?This now makes some missing votes in Memphis and East TN(which would most likely favor Corker)

The only good thing about close elections are that they're really fun to watch. When it's a landslide...even a good one, they're not exciting to watch. The 2000, 2004, and 2006 elections have been really interesting to watch...even though I didn't not like the result in the first two. :angry:

Also, SO glad that South Dakota's amendment didn't pass. :)

Just realized that I live in the bluest county in the country!! :D

    • I'm more than convinced she's a relative of Hayley after seeing this.

      The resemblance is too uncanny.  Now if they can just persuade Debbi Morgan to play their mom we've hit the motherload.
    • It's hard to say about MBE's following.  Katherine was a mess from the start and diametrically opposite of Kayla.  Both Nina and Ava were messes too, but the material was more in their wheelhouse.  Plus, both came frome cancelled shows so that was the only option for their fans.
    • As limited as the actor who plays Tomas is, after today, I'm really excited to see the Eva/Tomas/Kat triangle pick up some speed. And, I was thinking that I wasn't gonna have to resurrect this hashtag, but yeah #FreeSmitty

    • ICAM.  KL needed to end in '93.  I'm just glad David Jacobs resisted CBS' efforts to convince him otherwise.

    • Dear Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford,   Please write out the character of Leo Stark. It would be greatly appreciated.   Sincerely, Soapsuds
    • Oh my -- long time ago, huh??  What was the actual storyline? Here's what I recall: Susan was married to David Martin and had his baby, Dickie.  David allowed Dickie to fall off a swing-set or something, and Dickie was killed.  So a distraught Susan shot and killed David.  Julie had been having sex with David Martin, and was pregnant with his child when Susan killed him.  Then Julie named her newborn child David.  And that was really what began the big feud between Susan and Julie.  I KNOW I have a lot of this history wrong -- so anyone please feel free to correct my historical errors.  I would appreciate that very much.   Now back to Denise's Another World connection.  Although I loved Denise as an actress, I was never crazy about Mary McKinnon.  Mostly because of her completely unbelievable introduction -- two back-from-the-dead characters returning in the SAME storyline. It seemed ridiculous, and was just a bit too much for me to accept.

    • Denise had so much inherent warmth, yet also layered her work with neuroses and emotion, making sure her characters were never as one-dimensional as the writing could have been. She was one of the first high profile poachings from one soap to another, which could have been a recipe for disaster, but she worked hard and turned Lesley into such an integral part of GH's rebuilding. The show may not have survived the '70s without her.  I wish they'd done more with Lesley when they brought her back in 1996. I hope more of Denise's run at DAYS will appear. I enjoyed Denise's work on AW, in a very underwritten part - it felt like she was just hitting her stride in playing the role when she left.  We are losing so many of our legends, but in moments like this I try to just be grateful we had them for as long as we did.  I do feel terrible for those at GH as they've been hit hard the last few years.
