Uggh. I liked the part when Jesse Jackson cried. I imagined that rather than being proud, they were tears of jealousy.

I can’t believe it’s that close. I haven’t seen a lot about it in the dispatch.

Seems like there are still a few thousand absentee and provisional ballots to count, and Kilroy thinks she’ll end up on top. Jennifer Brunner scolded the Franklin County Board of Elections for provisional ballot issues. Cuyahoga County got a gold star.

Maybe she’s just relived that she doesn’t have to appear to be a black Jackie O anymore?

I’ll give her that, but if that were the case, she could have gone with something by Beyonce’s mom.

Would only work if Sasha and Malia agreed to be dressed similarly and to sing only when Michelle let them.

Tell me about it. My only criticism. WTF was the deal with that dress?? Some artistic interpretation of a volcano erupting sublimated onto it? Definitely not a photogenic attire choice.
