I've been disappointed so many times with election's the last 6 years... |
|
I always thought we'd win only to be sick to my stomach the next morning.
I needed this one to help build my confidence that indeed, the grassroots is for real.

I came here in 2001 hurt and wounded, and it seems we just haven't ever been able to pull one out since. BUT ! this is it baby....this is it !

I think people are celebrating too early. The margin of victory is closing in on Lamont. We need not celebrate yet until at least 80% of the precincts have reports. It's still too early. Not even 10:00 yet...

5. I keep reminding myself this is only a primary... |

that helps keep it in check. The real stomach-killer and pacing will be in November.

It isn't election's, it's elections. Plural, right? More than one election? Elections. Election's? That's possessive.
I apologize for nit-picking, but it looks terrible, and I see this about 30 times a day on DU.
Not to mention the "it's" and "its." "It's" is the exception. The possessive of "it" is "its", without an apostrophe. "It's" means "it is." Period, and that is all. It's = it is. Its = possessive.
Plural usually means add an s. Usually, almost always. Not an apostrophe, which usually, but not always, means possessive.
Can't we get that down? Pretty please?
No, wait: two more. Whose is the possessive for who. Not who's. Who's means who is.
"Lose" means to discover you don't know where something is. "Loose" means something isn't tight.
Then there's always there, their and they're. Shall we?
Forgive me, but it really does look bad.
