Secret ballot, so probably hasn’t been released yet.

The question I have is why does it take 2 reporters to write three sentences? Did one type the punctuation, and the other the letters??

My internal polling showed Labrador with a clear lead, 147% to 16%. I’ll post my analysis and cross-tabs later. It will become clear why my polling was off. I think maybe some non-Representatives snuck into the chamber and voted.

He has come off as sorta, kinda, maybe for immigration. On the other hand, he’s said to be a workaholic with boatloads of ambition, so it all depends on where the yellow brick road leads.

I agree, same old, same old. The republican house would want to spend millions or even billions on more war in Iraq, but won’t help Americans here by passing unemployment extension insurance that thousands have been waiting for over a year.
