On Tuesday, November 6, 2012 my friends, Oregon legislators, hopeful candidates and I will be at the Democratic election night party at the Portland Hilton hotel as we were in 2008 and 2010. In 2008 we celebrated Barack Obama's successful bid for the Presidency. In 2010 we celebrated Governor John Kitzhauber's unprecedented third term as Oregon's Governor. On election eve, will we once again be celebrating our successes and President Obama's reelection to office or will be be drowning our sorrows and defeat in cocktails and hor d'oeuvres? Should I wear a black suit (for mourning) or a blue one?

-Interesting thought/mental image, tonymctones. Unfortuantely, I doubt that would go over very well....plus have you seen my body? It is not posing suit and oil material these days. Getting old is a bitch! ;D
Perhaps you could do this and be the evening's entertainment when folks are too busy watching the monitors for the returns. Don't be disappointed though should you go unnoticed and unappreciated.

If I were you I'd send the black suit to the cleaners. :)

Black isn't flattering - especially to cameras

Based on the slaughter he deems received just two short years ago in the house I honk the black suit maybe the way to go.. The people that led the most one sided house run in history are still out here.. And voting..

all the more interesting, a bodybuilder oiled up in a posing thong while odd to the majority is explainable.
A out of shape guy oiled up in a thong, now that is a conversation starter...

I'm rather conservative and laid back meaning I don't much like being the center of attention except to a guaranteed to be receptive group. Actually, I don't like crowds because the make me feel anxious and uncomfortable. So why the fuck am I going? Nope, let someone else be the freak who starts that conversation.
I'll stick to the regular costume for the evening, which is business attire to dressy. I'll breeze in at the right time, shake a few hands, chat it up some, have a drink or two and pose for a couple of photos. Then like a Mr. Cinder-fella, I'll vanish....poof! Just enough politic to stay connected, that's enough for me.
On the other hand, I could wear a glittery thong under my suit and put a little bronzer on my face. LOL!

We should all be wearing black for America's funeral with our current choices.

Good for you, my father in law, sister in law and half (a little exaggerated) my wifes family were front and center at each of the debates and Bush's first and second term.

Thank you, Coach.
Several years ago I started getting involved politically. I have lobbied at both the federal and state level on issues pertaining to education and education funding. I have met and talked with scores of politicians in the last couple of decades. What I have discovered is that most are very accommodating and will listen to what you have to say because that's their job.
Over the years, I have participated in a multitude of candidate endorsements. As is often the case with those of us in education and the labor movement, we are somewhat short on funds for campaign contributions unlike the big corporations and the likes of, say, the Koch brothers, so we canvass and phone bank like crazy to support candidates who are on board with our issues and concerns. I guess you could say, in effect, we are among the 99%.
Attending events, such as being in the front row when President Obama came to Portland in 2010 to speak at Governor Kitzhauber's campaign event at the Memorial Colosseum and going to election night parties is a way to reward those of us who volunteer our time in support of the political process.
On another note Coach, both my son and son-in-law are career military. My son-in-law has been deployed twice to Iraq and once to Afghanistan. My son is retired now and works in a contracted government position doing work similar to what he did before he retired from the military. He travels frequently to African countries and cities which are sometimes rather unsafe places for Americans, particularly those working for the U.S. government. My uncle and cousin were in the diplomatic corps and were deployed to some less then friendly countries in the course of their careers. I tell you because of your and my exchange in another tread.
