Welcome to the Virginia Blog Carnival – The Election Edition.
The election coverage by Bearing Drift has to be the best of the blogosphere. There are many reports from various sources in podcast form! Way Cool!
One could argue NLS was the best. Ben had multiple posts and called winners hours before the pundits on tv. The comment section was powered with emotion. Go back and read awhile! Great Job Ben.
The United Conservatives of Virginia submitted this morning after piece titled A Red Day, A Sore Day, And Then The Sun Rises! This will make you smile!
Hampton Roads Politics captured The Night in Pictures. Stop by and leave a comment.
XRLQ has called it “Black Tuesday”..I think many a Republican would agree.
The Ward View has a great commentary titled Okay, So I Lied. Ward lays out his thoughts on the election and campaigns. Thank you Ward!
BadRose has declared she is a S.O.B. - Well....Uh...Hangin with that Not Emeril guy is bound to have bad effects. LoL..Great picture BTW.
NOVA Town Hall's Joe Budzinski welcomes the new leaders with his post Hey Brothers. Doobies anyone?
Leslie Carbone submits The Moral of the Story. She writes “Leave it to The Washington Post. Today's front page proclaims "A Voter Rebuke For Bush, the War And the Right". Nonsense. "A Voter Rebuke From the Right" would be more apt.” I would agree with that. Check it out!
Rocinante's Burdens has a recap called Election Hot Wash. Hot indeed!
Cathouse Chat asks All right then, What now? My blog Sis is right, saying “So, am I going to pitch a fit if the vote count shows my guy didn't win? No. Am I going to descend into ad hominem attacks? No. Am I going to continue to live my life in freedom and duty? Yes. Life goes on, my friends, and - believe it or not - politics is NOT the be-all and end-all of the Universe.” Indeed Sis! Go read the whole post!
James Tippins has this great post titled The Fruit of Sin | Healthy Church. A good read about the Haggard scandal.
More on Haggard can be found at Robin Tippins blog with this post - Dissecting the Haggard Scandal. Thanks to the Tippins for Submitting to the VBC!
Divided We Stand United We Fall wanted the 50-50 split with the post Fifty Fifty, as divided as it gets. This is a not a Virginia blog....but what the hay!
I will add the Breaking Story - Politicians Sweep Midterm Elections. Wow! Check this quote
WASHINGTON, DC—After months of aggressive campaigning and with nearly 99 percent of ballots counted, politicians were the big winners in Tuesday's midterm election, taking all 435 seats in the House of Representatives, retaining a majority with 100 out of 100 seats in the Senate, and pushing political candidates to victory in each of the 36 gubernatorial races up for grabs. Read it all.
If I left anyone out let me know. Thank You For Stopping In.

Blogging is also the powerful tool to increase traffic on your website. It is observed that if a blogger properly execute the procedure, traffic generation process can be speed up in very short period.
Some sellers will see this as the right time to look into selling their property on their own, and not using an estate agent. Certainly the fees that will be saved on any purchase are a welcome bonus, and perhaps that will allow you to be a little more flexible on your pricing than someone who also has to pay their agent a commission at the end. Selling without an agent is not something that should be tackled without careful thought and preparation however, as doing things wrong will waste time and money, and will ultimately make it difficult to sell the property later through an agent if the independent route fails. Many agents will be reluctant to take on a property that has been on the market independently in the recent past, as they will feel that it has been overexposed to the market, and their chances of success are therefore diminished.
