Since most of us have already voted, it's not too soon to settle on a place to convene on Election Night. The Station and Milltown in Carrboro come to mind; so does Spice Street in University Mall. OCSC is out because it's too smoky. Any other ideas? We just got a big TV and would be happy to host here, but Berkeley wants to join a crowd somewhere.
Yesterday, October 1st, I set out to book a hotel room for the Obama inauguration on January 19th. Everything in the District, Dupont Circle, Georgetown, and Foggy Bottom is booked. One call led to another and I did find a room in old Alexandria for $399 a night with free shuttle to the metro. I can cancel without penalty anytime up to January 15th (in case, well, you know).
There is nothing finer than being there on Inauguration Day. I went to the first Clinton inauguration -- a clear cold day, unforgettably happy. Can't recommend it highly enough. Other rooms are going for more like $600 a night that Sunday/Monday, but they're full. Heads up, folks.
Not only women want John Edwards's head on a platter. I counted at least seven reporter/columnists in the Sunday N&O and NYTimes gleefully dissing him, saying they never liked the former senator in the first place. Aha! Pants on fire! For some reason, the same dedicated campaign hangers-on always found it necessary to quote the poor slob verbatim, as did his girlfriend who had all sorts of editing power: "I have come to the personal conclusion that I actually want the country to see who I really am." What a revelation!
