Getting back to Democrat Pingree vrs. Republican Summers for the vacant Congressional seat here in Maine, I was feeling confident that Pingree was well ahead in the polls (and she was by double digits). But now I'm not so certain because there was a statewide election by high school kids that heavily favored Summers. The other outcomes were as expected: Obama winning by a wide margin. Sen. Collins winning by a wide margin. Only the Pingree/Summers race was an anomaly. Maybe things are changing here to the dark side.

And it's probably not productive to say what I think about yellow ribbons.
