To the Polls!

Whether your politics tilt towards Yes We Can! or Tea Party acolyte or elsewhere (we're card carrying members of the Anti-Nebraska Party, ourselves), we hope you get to the polls with a minimum of hassle and plenty of good cheer.

On a day that Team GOP is expected to have a happier result overall, it is completely a coincidence (really!) that we've included a couple opportunities with companies headed by familiar Republican names.

One more editorial note: expect mostly just-the-jobs type programming for the next few weeks.
