So then I move back to NC. I meet and talk to Elizabeth Dole after she became my senator. What. An. Asshole. I felt favorable towards her until then. She came off as a jerk.
And now, after running a last-minute dirty campaign, she's going home. Oh, not to Salisbury. D.C. She spent almost no time in NC.
That, in addition to my good friend and hometown girl Bev Purdue getting elected governor have made my day.
I live in VA now, everything here went my way and I'm happy.
Who got elected that you're really excited about? Who got unelected? Share your joys and concerns at the church of schaudenfreude. |
you have NO idea how happy i was dole was BOOTED out. Not voted out, BOOTED out. She was horrible. HORRIBLE and ran the dirtiest campaign i've seen in local elections except for dick mulvaney against norrell.
DCdux, i think the new fox news catch phrase is "the country is center right"...and that may be true, but maaaan, it's like every 20 seconds....
