ELECTION DAY IS FINALLY HERE!
NOVEMBER 07, 2006 - ELECTION DAY OPEN THREAD
Some of our website followers may have noticed the DFNM website has not been updated since Saturday. Highly unusual for this sites webmaster, especially within the countdown of hours prior to the big day to WIN back our country, or at least start.
Well the excellant webmaster Barb....got a sudden serious illness on Sunday november 5th. It was tempting to report the republican competitors came and kidnapped her, some heavy drama story! But in reality her meneges went wild. My opinion they did come and kidnap her brain because she has been working so hard for months to try to WIN every seat hear in NM and across the grand ole USA. So Barb is sick, in the hospital type sick, but by this evening she was resting way more comfortably. Unfortuately she was very much looking forward to updating the DFNM website and blogging from The Richardson campaign headquarters on election night. This will not be the plan now for election night. But hwat Barb would like to suggest is an openthread; have at it; visit the other webstites down the left hand column like : the plaza, NM matters, fbihop to list a couple locals, and of course daily kos for nationals.
What is so exciting to me is the huge group effort. Even though this little website had to pause it's transmissions, there are people out there right now working their asses off; finishing up lists, sticking labels, strategizing the GOTV that will happen tomorrow...all across the state and all across the country.
What do we want CHANGE when do we want it NOW!! Gosh I hope so, for our future.
Please post throughout the day.....keep the information exchange going.

Perfect timing Barb!
I am sick too. It is the sick in bed type not the hospital type.
Family passing through on the way to Alb. It is a mess!
Anyhoo, I hope you are up and running ASAP! WE NEED YOU!

Much love coming your way from across the Atlantic. BaileyF and I send our best wishes, to Barb and to all the wonderful candidates she's helped.

Barb, get well quick. And if you need a tonic, just turn on election returns tonight as we see the blue tide sweep across America (fingers crossed). And remember that fine Joan Baez concert you just went to. But most of all, rest up, take care of yourself, take deep breaths. My guess is you've been working furiously and your bod called a time out. You and Mary Ellen should come up for spa day at 10,000 Waves. God knows you've earned it.

I just heard Heather Wilson crying on 77KOB saying that we need to go back to computer voting. She said this election is a damn crime! Me doth think she protests to much, and I look forward to seeing that B brought to justice.
Wilson was good for NM, but she's failed us on Iraq

you know my thoughts are with you, Barb. Get well soon and back on the internet. Our fight to take back our country and our party has just begun. Jeanne

Barb:
Hope this helps make you feel better: An amazing sign of how times are changing. So up here in traditionally one of the reddest parts of ABQ displayed prominently at the intersection of Paradise Hills and Ventana Ranch...stands a sign:
"Republicans have taken my Constitutional rights and now they've taken my sign." Second sign nearby: "Took my sign but not my Freedom to Vote."
Take care....get your rest...it's being taken back.

Let's bring home a Democratic sweep for Barb!

Get well soon Barbara! Tonight won't be the same without DfNM blogging, but we'll try our best without you. Don't get too comfortable in that bed... NM needs you!

Barb, here's hoping you feel better soon! Thank you for your tireless efforts on the behalf of progressive politics in NM. Know that all your hard work has made a difference!

Much love to you both.
Barb, please get well soon.

Barb: Get to feeling better soon...230 or so seats in the House ought to help, I reckon...

We want a healthy Barb back soon and a Barb who might even want to do a little celebrating for the good news we've heard from around the country.
