Putting away the Halloween pumpkins and swapping in the red globes.

I've heard enough...of the Cavalier radio feed, men's hoops are gonna win the opener.
Promising early numbers that are inside baseball, but No on 1 up big, the periodic "Should we have a Constitutional Convention" question being responded to as "No, we're good"
My traditionally right-leaning dad down in Nelson County did me a favor by asking about the Michigan race two Sundays ago, I could stick to standards like "we'll see if the college kids turn out" rather than have to try to explain that Haley Stevens isn't exactly 1994 Marshall Coleman.
