Burlington

A high powered lawfirm? No, all names in the news this past week. All kinds of crazy happening - some totally good. Some forehead-slappingly bad.

And how about those appointments? Anyone missing the Clinton years, much? Tell me what you think over a brew or two!

She's the gift that keeps on giving. And by "gift" I mean "cold sore" and by giving, i mean "go away."

You guessed it, I'm talking about Sarah Palin (but if you guessed disgraced former congressman Mark "they were months from being men" Foley, you were close). Sarah Palin has been doing the evening talk show circuit and probably believes she is the future of the Republican Party. And as much as I wish no good for the Republicans, I hope for their sake (and for my sanity), that she isn't.

I'll drink to that. And any of the other week's news. Who's got the latest gossip on the transition? You can bet it'll be your friends at Drinking Liberally. So come and join us for a pint or three:

I'll have a table tent, and a beer, at the ledge by the bar.

Hello and welcome to this very special Election Day Drinking Liberally email.

I don't know if you've you've noticed, but today is election day. If you haven't voted yet, you really need to do so. Real quick, you should double-check your voting location: http://www.voteforchange.com/

If you've already done that, please consider volunteering to get out the vote. I've turned my office into the largest Democratic phonebank in the county (the state). And we're literally plugging in more phones to make sure we can get out all the votes we can. But we need volunteers to make that happen. Stop on over and call the people who haven't yet voted to tell them where and how to do their civic duty.

Phonebank location:
DFA headquarters
38 Eastwood Dr (old address - 60 Ferrell st)
Suite 300 (third floor)
South Burlington, VT 05403
Behind the Shaw's on Rt. 7

Finally, where are you going to watch tonight's election returns? How about with a whole bunch of other Dems? How about somewhere with some bars? How about a place where politicos will be poring over races in Vermont and all over the country?

Join me over at the Hilton in Downtown Burlington for the Dem election night party after the polls close. That's the place to be.

I'll be watching 90 of my favorite races across the country, and having a good time while I'm at it.
