[WheelWalker]

9. I'm here. Just been

thinking a lot. Congenital affliction, I guess. Homo Cogitor. How ya' doin'? Looks like we with May primaries might figure in the mix yet, doesn't it.

[Froward69]

10. Yo

here!!! I spent 24 hours on the couch as the previous 24 were go go go. caucus site coordinator and all. for my site the previous record was 55 persons. Tuesday was 632!

[PatSeg]

14. That is incredible

I've heard so many stories of record numbers showing up for caucuses. How did it turn out?

[Froward69]

27. 3/4 Obama,

1/4 the other choice... so much for inevitability... I lost my stocking cap. everyone swooned over my 1st grade photo in the same auditorium. (my site coordinator credential) ;)

[jillan]

21. That is great news.

We are having record turnout all over the country - yeah!!!!

Guess Dems just can't wait until 1/20/09 :)

[murbley40]

11. Stopping by to say Hi!

Hope everyone is doing Ok. Been a little down since voting,but at least I will get to vote for Joe in the Senate race. Doubt they can find anyone to run against him. :hi: :dem:

[jillan]

12. Checking in!

Hi everybody :)

I still check in daily to see what is going on with the Bidenites.

[gateley]

13. It feels so good to "see" you all! Thanks for checkin' in! There are still a few

MIAs, though...

Carry on! :grouphug:

[Eurobabe]

17. Too busy adding fucking trolls to my ignore list!!

:banghead: :nuke: :grr: :mad:

[gateley]

18. Ha!

I've found, but just ignoring the obvious threads, that there have been some pretty good discussions going on as of late. Reasoned, objective - it's really nice!

[PatSeg]

19. It is so frustrating

I click on an interesting thread and then it turns into a brawl between two posters. Same old arguments by the same people. It is so pointless.

[gateley]

20. Pointless is right - they accomplish nothing. Although, it seems to have

quieted down a bit now that there are only the two of them left.

[PatSeg]

22. Yeah it has

People need to think about becoming unified for the fight ahead against the republicans. Well at least some of them will have had plenty of practice at getting down-and-dirty!

[livvy]

24. MIA livvy checking in.

I stop in here every day. I'm back doing the Sat. Election Reform thread, so that's where I'm mostly at on Sat.

I've been stopping in the photography forum quite a bit. I love looking at the photos they share. Been checking in the Pets Group, too, and always reading threads in the Greatest and Latest.

I guess I'm taking a bit of a breather...avoiding GDP...it's so nasty in there at times, it's almost like being on a different website.

Like many here, I keep checkin' in on Biden's site, and I still have Biden alerts on my Google page. I watch C-Span when I get home, and I love seeing him on the floor.

Anyway...a big hellllloooo to all!

[gateley]

25. Hi! I didn't even know DU HAD those forums! I'll have to go look. Glad to

see you! :hi:

[livvy]

26. You should...

The photo group has so many talented people. 48%er has posted some wonderful pictures there. I mostly just read and admire, but once in a while I post something. It is the place I go to really relax. I've found links there for some amazing sites, too, with historical photos and galleries with some outstanding artists. They have a contest every month with a different theme, some additional contests, and they put together a DU calendar with their photos. It is beautiful! (I think you can still get one through the DU store on CafePress.) I found one photo by a group member, that I couldn't take my eyes off of, so I ended up contacting the artist, and bought a print from him, through his gallery. It's framed and hung close by my 'puter, so I can admire it frequently.

The Pet group is super, too. Since I have so many critters, it's a natural stopping place for me. I never get tired of admiring everyone's fur/feathered babies!

And if you are interested in learning more about our broken and insecure voting system, Election Reform is the place to go. These folks are so knowledgable. It will make you mad, and I guarantee you will see our current system in a whole different light. These machines have to go, or mandatory audits have to be instituted. Personally, I'm a hand-counted paper ballot supporter, but there are a variety of opinions in the forum. It can get a bit dicey there, but most people are very helpful, and welcome questions.


:hi: and a :hug: to you!

[gateley]

28. I've always been so appreciative of what I've learned from DU regarding politics

and historical perspective.

Now, I'm excited because there's a larger world of DU wisdom!! I'll probably run into you there -- thanks!!

[elleng]

29. Hi gateley,

[gateley]

31. Hi Ellen!

Got it and responded to your DU and home e-mail. Good to "see" you again! :hi:

[jillan]

30. Hi livvy!

Good to see you :)

I should spend more time on the gardening site, and less time in gd-p.
Thanks for the reminder!
