I just got polled in the NCCo. Executive Race.

For real this time. And by that I mean, it was a real poll, not a push poll from a union on behalf of Tom Gordon. The pollster asked my opinion on a host of issues facing New Castle County, and also asked me what I thought was the most important issue facing the county. I answered "development." I was asked my opinion of Tom Gordon. I answered unfavorable because I consider him a criminal. Then I was asked my opinion of Paul Clark, and I said I wanted to answer undecided, but was told my only two options now were favorable or unfavorable. So I said unfavorable due to my concerns over his ethics. I was then asked if the election were held today, who would be getting my vote, and the choices were Clark, Gordon, Shahan or undecided. I answered Shahan.

50 Shades Of Agony

It's rare that I don't finish a book, but I just couldn't make it through the latest sensation 50 Shades of Grey. Before I get into my review of a book I didn't finish, let me tell you that I'm a sucker for a good, steamy romance.  After a day of pouring over political articles and listening to pundits I love to be swept away in romantic fantasy.  There.  That's my confession... and guilty pleasure. Moving on... I heard about the book from my mother (who hasn't read it, but had heard about the hoopla) who knew I indulged in the genre.  Out of curiosity I downloaded the book to my Kindle.   I tried to read it, and in my defense I don't expect romance novels to be great literature, but... Oh. My. God.  What I read of this book was terrible.  Poorly written, poorly edited, and with a heroine no one but Twilight fans could relate to.

Florida moves into the Lean Romney camp, while Pennsylvania stays in the Lean Obama camp. North Carolina stays as a toss up state, despite the number of Romney ads Jason is seeing in North Carolina right now.
