Black vote seen as last hope for democrats to hold senate

[Proactive]

Personally I think it is a done deal, republicans will take the senate.

Why are they concentrating on the blacks?  That is racist...

I'm beginning to wonder the same thing - what it's like to vote "FOR" someone instead of "AGAINST" someone else - to really be able to get behind someone and believe in what they stand for.  Seems like it's been a while since I've been able to do that.  And when one does come along that you think will do right, they turn into a crook as soon as the lobbyists get hold of them... pretty sad state of affairs.

It looks like my choice for Senate is Bill Cassidy or  Mary Landrieu. Even though Mary I has gotten my vote  in the past, she has forced me to Vote against her this round. I wish I knew what it felt like to Vote For someone instead of Against someone.

Yes, we are silly - we need that sometimes...   lol   I vote on election day as always - we don't usually have very long lines in our precinct. When we voted in the primary, there was hardly anyone there.  Also, being retired, we no longer have to wait until we're off work, like many people do, so we can pick our time and stand in line if need be.  Love to walk out with that "I voted" sticker...  lol

lol, we are silly!  Early voting starts in charlotte co today. Im gonna go get it overwith as my season is heating up and the snowbirds are en route..... I am one of those that early voting really works for. And me is going to take advantage and avoid the long lines, that is if anyone votes.
