I am very proud to announce that the Delaware County Democratic Committee along with many wonderful volunteers, turned out over 120 students we registered from Suny Delhi to vote yesterday! This is out of 159 registered with the campus as their address. Amazing!! Thanks to all, and our work has only just begun.

Congresswoman Gillibrand, who lost by over 1200 votes in 2006, carried Delaware County by 1179 votes over Sandy Treadwell: 8226 to 7047 (unofficial of course)

Obama lost in the county, but not by much: 8562 to 9875. HE WON IN DELHI, MIDDLETOWN AND SIDNEY!!

Delhi: 868 Obama to 735 McCain (gee, do you think this has anything to do with all those college students!!??)

Middletown: 740 Obama to 645 McCain

Sidney: 1104 Obama to 984 McCain

Everyone I have spoken to says they wept for joy, and relief. It’s a good day.

The big night finally!!! In anticipation of having a lot to celebrate, Delaware County Democrats are sponsoring an

ELECTION RETURNS PARTY at the

Sol Bar behind the Quarter Moon Cafe,

53 Main Street, Delhi,

beginning at 8.30p.m.

Tuesday, November 4th.

Community pot luck. Bring something to share if you can. The bar will be serving drinks all through the evening.

Join your neighbors! Share in history being made.

For those who have never been to the Sol Bar, there are two very large televisions. There is also wi-fi service, so bring your laptop if you wish.

And for those of you who vote differently than I do, I can only say we live in a great country — where we each have the right to decide our own vote. We are lucky people.

In peace, Faiga

Good Cheap Food/Quarter Moon Cafe & Sol Bar (607 746.8886). 53 Main Street, Delhi. 607 746.6562. M-S 10-6.
