I hate to poke fun at fellow bloggers, being in a glass house and all, but... seriously?:
As I sat down to watch 30 Rock tonight (best show on tv? Quite possibly) a little bit about the election returns ran which slapped me upside the head and reminded me that, oh yeah, it’s a big day here in Nashville. I thought as long as I’m going to spend the evening catching up on TV and watching the Astros/Braves game, I might as well hang around here and keep everyone up to date on the returns.[blah blah]
8:45 - Now Howard Gentry is conceding. I guess we know who our mayoral runoff candidates will be. Although I still don’t understand why we have to have a runoff. Can any of you explain that for my pea sized brain?
[blah blah]
My parting shot is this…I can’t believe that only 100,000 votes were cast. That just blows my mind.
OK, then. WKRN needs to get Nashville is Talking 2.0 launched pretty quick. And they need more bloggers like this to bring more stuff like this. (And maybe leave the election blogging to this guy.)
(With sincere apologies to the blogger quoted above, who I am sure is a very nice, fun person and all, and in her defense she voted early, but still...)

Anyone who thinks 30 Rock is
Anyone who thinks 30 Rock is the best show on television is whacked anyway.
Late night in Music City
Watching Letterman;oh wow lets get on the ole computer & see whats cooking in the Nashville election.
Saw the link to the Clement Knoxviews post..so I clicked on over..made a comment takin up for Liz Clement..then started to try & find out what was going on.All I could find were dated stories about the polls closing @ 7.
I knew I could find up to the minute returns on the Election Commission site...BUT..I wanted to know the reactions from candidates hq..pundits...& bloggers.
Folks go look @ the coverage Knoxviews had of election day '06.There were postes about what was going on all over Knox County & R from Blount County.I know I posted when I left to work the 10th ward about 7am.. till Ford's speech..about 1 or 2 wednesday morning.
How long,bloggers,O how long
Will it take you to be as good as Knoxviews
