Post reporter Robert LaHue on
news, sports and anything that crosses his mind.My last stories were in yesterday's edition of The Post. So this is the farewell. My first day in Marysville is the 20th.
It's been a blast. The Ridge might forget me someday soon (we reporters tend to be nomadic types, especially at smaller papers) but I'll never forget the Ridge.
If Democrats gain half or all of Congress, are impeachment hearings on the way?
It's 5:30, so the polls just closed in Arkansas.
Edge of your seat stuff going on, I'm telling you!
The polls on the East Coast are now closed. At this point, CNN is showing the GOP with an 8-5 advantage in the House.
So, I've taken care of my voting. How about you?
Us Post reporters aren't going into work until 4 p.m. today, in order to put out a special Wednesday edition of The Post with election results for our subscribers.
I'll be updating this blog as much as possible throughout election night, so you'll want to be checking this out regularly.
That being said, along with offering tidbits on the nationwide and local races, there's two other elections I'll be keeping track of:
Illinois Governor: No, not the Democrat and Republican candidates--I want to know what's happening with write-in Tim Nieukirk. The blog of Ryan Sabalow of the Redding Record Searchlight pointed me in the direction of the "Get Nieuked" write-in campaign. I'm rooting for him.
Phoenix, Ore. Mayor: I want to see if Murray LaHue (no relation) pulls it off. It's such a rare last name here on the West Coast, I can't help it...
On a side note, if you're not keen on any of the governor candidates, show your displeasure by writing in Kelly Reed.
