pudge's Journal: Voter Registration Deadline Tomorrow

If you have not yet registered to vote in Washington, register today! Many other states also have a deadline of Friday or Saturday.

Also, if you're in Washington, sorry the Mariners are so terrible, but how about Tacoma native Jon Lester, huh? In the last year he's battled back from cancer, won the clinching game of the World Series, thrown a no-hitter, and even tossed a one-hit complete game shutout in Yankee Stadium. And last night, he became only the third Red Sox pitcher ever to win a playoff game with no earned runs or extra-base hits allowed (Burce Hurst and Babe Ruth are the others).

Go Sox!

Sox might win the AL

But if the Dodgers win the NL, they'll take the series.
Lowe, Garciaparra, Manny being Manny - led by Joe Torre. Man, a Dodgers / Red Sox World Series would be awesome.

Dodgers in 7.

You mean Red Sox / Red Sox World Series? :-)

Red Sox / Red Sox Castaways is more like it. Though Torre was a Yanker.. so was his hitting coach, Don Mattingly, and Jeff Kent? Well, Kent's not even starting.

Though to be fair, Nomar is a sub, and the Dodgers offensive core is Manny, James Loney, Russell Martin, Matt Kemp, Andre Ethier, Furcal, etc...

Really though, BOTH teams have a good mix of youth and veterans. Red Soz obviously have Pedrioa, Ellsbury, Buchholz, etc., to match up with Papi and Youkilis...

That's the World Series I'm hoping for,

I'm in Illinois

I don't know when the deadline to register here is, but Obama will get the Illinois electors for two reasons:

1. Illinois is his home state
2. Illinois, solidly Republican a decade ago, has become solidly Democrat. Bush lost the last election by a landslide - here. Both our Senators and most of our Representatives are Democrats

I'm from the St Louis area and am a Cardinals fan, but this year I'm rooting for the Cubs. Poor bastards haven't won a world series in a hundred years.

I've been registered to vote since Nixo

Go Brewers :)

Yeah, I said it. Unfortunately it looks like this was the year, with bringing in CC. Man it's great to have a real owner though, instead of a hack, cheapskate, used car salesman. Still a lot of good young talent, but losing CC & Sheets will leave a hole. And no relief pitching (though they've actually looked good in the playoffs). If all the banking & Wall Street shysters get a bailout, the Brewers deserve something for signing Gagne then finding out he was a 'roid head.

My swing state might make th
