Good point. When I looked,

Good point. When I looked, the poll showed roughly a 10 percent lead for the local race.

Neither of your responses

Neither of your responses indicates what the poll vote looked at the time you posted them.

I'm actually not that

Katrina Styx — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:39:48 -0500

I'm actually not that surprised. I think people can see changes working on a local level, while it's difficult to track national effects because they tend to take a lot longer. Not to mention, a small effect multiplied by how large the U.S. is can turn into a big change that the everyday family doesn't notice much at home. Not really sure if that made sense....

Interesting results, don't you think?

If you want nothing done in

If you want nothing done in St Paul for Jordan and the area Beusgens has served for the last 4 terms, vote for him again. Or, better yet, get a monkey and train it to push the no button and you will get about the same thing.

That makes sense. I mean, we

That makes sense. I mean, we are so dependent on our cars.

I just voted for that

Kyle Thill — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 06:14:10 -0500

I just voted for that figure, I generally only drive to get back and forth to work. I'm not saying it wouldn't hurt, but there aren't a lot of options.

I love that there are votes

Mathias Baden — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 16:00:25 -0500

I love that there are votes for "$8 or more," because it's sort of like saying, "I'll never change. You can't make me." Interesting, but very true.

Mitt Romney has suspended

swansonmej — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:10:42 -0600

Mitt Romney has suspended his campaign for President. There are now 3 GOP candidates left in the race: McCain, Huckabee, and Ron Paul.

I was surprised that more

swansonmej — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 12:55:57 -0600

I was surprised that more people weren't at
the GOP caucus for St. Lawrence Township last night. There were 6 of us.

I have known Burdette Stief

Jason Allen — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 07:11:27 -0600

I have known Burdette Stief for many years. I worked for him doing all type of "farm" chores out at the drop zone location. I used to mow and would stop and watch everytime those planes would fly over. They had drop zone locations out in the middle of the pasture and would regually place that large, and I mean large pallet right in the middle of the target.

I also remember the time me and Burdette were in the barn doing some stall cleaning and we heard a large thump and the ground shook. We went outside the office area of the barn and found the pallet to be about 2 feet from the barn, I would say they missed the target on that one, but that might have been the only one they missed.

I do have to agree, it will be missed over Jordan. They have been flying for years, and it seemed everytime they came over Jordan, you stopped what you were doing and just watched.

I hope everyonce in awhile they take a little detour and fly over.....you know I just had an idea. For $2,800 a month, I have a little room in my backyard for a target.

Nuts. I'll miss them. They

Thom Boncher — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 14:33:20 -0600

Nuts. I'll miss them. They fly almost directly over my home, and I've always enjoyed seeing them. They also served as a reminder to me how lucky I am that our military is ready to protect our country.

934th and 133rd, keep the formation close, and Godspeed wherever you fly.
