The House will reconvene sometime in late January, decorum will be at toxic levels before 2010 so the spring sitting will be extremely nasty. They'll all take the Olympics off and cause a election sometime in March with a vote in May. <br /><br />The calendar doesn't work for an election before the Olympics.<br /><br />Plus pounding signs in frozen ground is not fun (we used a cordless drill in the Jan. 2006 election).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6278579888096414029.post-88494915365539769352009-09-17T10:22:22.361-06:002009-09-17T10:22:22.361-06:00Mark,

Now that I know how much it takes to run, I am queasy thinking about the prospect of having to give up so much to go again.<br /><br />But I guess that's democracy and now that I have chosen a larger role than simply keeping current and voting, I ought to try not to be so self-concerned.<br /><br />Anyway, I now don't think we are going to the polls until after the Vancouver Games.<br /><br />What's your take?<br /><br />WillBerry Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03447299342398591508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6278579888096414029.post-89267851039609004622009-09-17T07:05:33.991-06:002009-09-17T07:05:33.991-06:00We may have dodged a bullet.... this week.
