When We Learned Obama Won

posted by on November 4 at 20:31 PM

…we were in a small suite in the Bellevue Hyatt, where Marcia Mcgraw was losing badly. The Republicans in the room didn’t even notice. Marcia was talking to us about her automobile race across Mexico and when her car caught on fire. A man walked into the room. She greeted him in Mandarin Chinese: “The real test of success,” said her husband, “is if you get more votes in this state than John McCain.”

I want to win,” she said.

@1,

Too close to call. Franken has 43 percent, Coleman has 41 percent.

Check the URL. Looks promising for Gregoire on the county level.

@4: Can't check. Drinking.

I feel a little sad for McCraw. She wasn't so bad, for a Republican.

And, oh yeah: Her name is McCraw, not Mcgraw. Sheesh. And you fucking endorsed her.

Fault bad phone connections for the misspelling. Fault my inattention to her campaign for her husband.

Too bad. If Gregoire gets pulled to DC for the greater good, you probably know who ends up being Governor of our state. Right?
