Someone wondered yesterday what I’ll do on Huckleberries Online, once the election is over. No question, the election campaign has been a blast here, per usual. I’ll spend tonight tracking results and Wednesday tying up loose ends and reports that don’t make it onto the front page today. On Thursday and Friday, I’ll throttle down before turning HBO Central over to Cindy for a week while I vacation. Then, I’ll go back to looking for news and fun things that makes this place hop year round. I suspect that the election interest has brought this site dozens and mebbe hundreds of new blurkers and a coupla no commenters. In other words, Huckleberries will be fine. With that happy thought, I’ll post today’s Wild Card …

Actually, it only brought one no commenter that I can think of.

Dave i know that 1080 am is going to start to broadcast results at 8 pm, this may be a stupid question, will you give minute by minute relays of results, so that those who are not around a radio can track the results.

is 'per usual' correct, or is 'as per usual' the correct form? Too lazy to look it up but too distracted to focus on work, obviously, and am getting sidetracked by nonsense.

For those who think racism is dead. This oughta serve as a healthy deterrent to pinheads who wanna act out on their bigotry.

I'm very glad gays were added to the hate crimes list. Some bigots weren't prosecuted cause the local DA didn't have the money, didn't think they could convict, or shared the bigoted views. Now that its a federal crime, those concerns are resolved.

First chance our fine citizens have had to voice their opinions, in the form of tonights elections, since Obama was elected. Some argue folks are voting, in a fashion, as a referendum on how Obama is doing. So far, the democrat's taking control of the Country is not going over too well.

yeah, uh-huh. Those “some” are on the right and they need it to be a referendum on Obama, but claiming so in 2 governor's races is a big stretch. I'll wait until 2010 for some reality based feedback.

There is a real danger in either side interpeting the results of this off season election as some sort of partisan mandate…
While the Dems would be wise to take note, I still think the GOP should be cautious… winning a couple of congressional districts and a couple of Governor seats is nothing to get excited about…
Spinning these election results the wrong way could be damaging come Nov. 2010.
