Tuesday's predictions

By Peter Hart
Monday, Nov 3 2008, 10:42 PM

Here are my Tuesday's predictions,

1. Sun will rise before most of us.

2.  It will not rain in Wauwatosa on Tuesday.

3. Most of you reading this will have voted

4.  Some of you who voted will buy cookies (and they will be good)

5. Most people will wear the "I voted" stickers with pride

6. Many people will wonder if anyone would miss them at work if they played hokkie.

7. There will be a huge rush of media outlets trying first to predict the winner.

8. TV ratings will be the largest for any election ever.

9. The losing side will claim voter fraud.

10. Those who's candidate won will leave their signs out longer than the others.

I remember being 12 and watching the 1972 election with Richard Nixon's landslide.

I wasn't a Dem or Rep and it was on a black & white 12" TV but I got to stay up late and it was cool.

So if you have children, watch it with your kids.  It's very rare to see history happen.

Don't forget the ice cream:)

Liberals win.  I can accept that.  I did notice Barack's comments.  He stated that we should not look to government to solve our problems.  I find great humor in this.  That is all he ran on.  He is big government.  So, send me my check.  I am starting to get lazy.  Time to sit back and wait for someone else to take care of me.  Time to not take personal responsibility for myself and my family.  Time to blame my problems on someone else.    Time to disrespect our military.  Time to raise taxes.  Time to redistribute.  

What in the hell happened to the American dream.  Work hard, do what is right, succeed on your own.

A very dark day.

I agree with you, Family Guy. Not much will change. I got up this morning and drove carpool. Packed a lunch for my husband. Walked the dogs. I am trying to get motivated to write a grant application for one of our schools. Later I will write the meeting minutes for another local organization, among the million other things I need to do around the house. After picking my kids up early from school today (so the teachers can collaborate) I will take them to park to collect leaves. After spending too much time at the park, we will rush home and make a warm, yummy dinner. Then I will be off to two meetings at school. Tonight I won't be home to tuck my kids in bed because my meetings will run late, as usual. Nevertheless I will sit with them for a few minutes when I get home and thank God that I have a great life.

90th Street Conservative - I understand your frustration. We couldn't even get enough people to volunteer at the bake sale at the election. The thought of people volunteering to change the country seems so distant. While I listened to the campaign messages and all of those promises, I too couldn't help thinking that the people were listening to a mixed message. On one hand the government will help you, on the other YOU have to be responsible for change. I've always been taught that we live in the greatest nation in the world. In order for our nation to be great we all must serve our families, our communities, and our nation in whatever capacity we can. I am content to wait with eager anticipation to see this new group of volunteers change our country. We can only pray that they will deliver on their promise.

90th Street "very dark day".  Come on.  Didn't you have hundreds

of Bright Bush day.  Did you really expect American to reward

Republican failure (Recession) That hasn't happen in over 100 years.

Jen 101, as a Obama supporter, I know many left leaning volunteer's (myself included that give of their time).  I think the point is that "We" not "They" will deliver.

This was not intended to be a political blog, I left that to

Chris- who based on his predictions shouldn't go to Vegas.

Another note to Chris, I encourage people to comment and never

delete them (that is censorship and censorship is wrong).
