    Regardless of who wins, I am leaving the country on Wednesday.  

    Kamala will win.  Crazy that it is this close and how the far right has destroyed the party.  Mitt Romney could have easily beat Kamala, but someone like that won’t beat Trump because of the far right buffoons.

    If you go, I'll say "Good luck and bon voyage."  On the other hand, if you stay, why not become active in the Republican party and be a part of a movement that is sorely needed to make that party viable again?  And remember, these things go in cycles.  I really doubt the far right will not dominate the Republican party forever.  Maybe consider being a part of the change.
    And I'm not saying that being an ex-patriot is a horrible things. I know or have known a number of ex-pats and some seem happy, and others not much.   Really, unless you're really wealthy or well connected, it kind of a crap shoot.  I don't have the stats, but it seems to me the majority of ex-pats end up returning.  Seems like a lot of trouble for what could turn out to be a money drain and for an extended leave.
    Although I would love to retire to Europe (which could be a ticking time bomb), I am just referring to my trip to New Zealand to see Pearl Jam on Friday.  Funny timing.

    i do hope the Republican Party can reform to less crazy.  Maybe even add a few other viable parties to break up this two party crap.
    Good on ya, see ya out there on the 10th in NZ.   Keep an eye out for a small blond w/ a guy 6’6 most likely wearing his Cubs hat he always wears at PJ shows.  Safe travels, it’s gonna be awesome few weeks down under….hope you surf!! 
    Make it easy for them, wear your MAGAT hats and flags like capes. Get tricked out. NZ loves POOTWH. Who knows? Maybe Eddie will call you up on stage for some ukulele songs? Mahalo.

    If you are a state that can't report the results by midnight local time, you need to fix your system.  Period.

    I don't think that's happened for most states for quite some time.
    It's pointless to worry this early in the game.

    It was a pipe dream for states like OH, FL or IN to be blue. So far, everything looks as expected.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Harris badly underperforming in VA.
    Exit polls show most voters with unfavorable view of current administration. Sure sign of incumbent party going down.
    This thing is over.

    No, I don't think so yet.  The vote % in Henrico, Alexandria, Fairfax are all still relatively low.  These are the strongholds and high population centers.  Biden was behind at this time in 2020 as well.  She isn't going to lose VA.  It's all about PA. 

    Also, Hampton Roads and the rest of the Tidewater is still very low.  That's actually higher population than NOVA.

    Not saying she'll lose VA, but she's performing Hillary like numbers which is a very bad sign.

    That's because of her gender. She automatically loses votes Biden didn't have to worry about. Patriarchy is still ingrained in a lot of this country.

    I mean I get the analogy, but she still only lost by a few thousand votes in a few states.  We are talking about fractions of a percentage.  And then Biden flipped that fraction to the other side.  So is VA a bellweather?  I don't know.  I guess we shall see.

    Totally agree.  Gender could be the biggest factor in this race.  Hopefully this isn’t 2016 all over again.

    Right because of the way the mail in votes flowed.  But this time, R's voted more in mail-in.  So that actually makes me wonder if the assumptions across the board are correct.  Maybe Harris will have a lead going into the mail in, instead of being behind.  And is that good or bad?  That's the question.
