Webb Wrap: It's election day -- go play some golfBy LaVarr Webb Election day can be a weird day, somewhat anti-climactic for candidates who have been running at a frenetic pace. Candidates can campaign or do honk-and-waves, of course, right up until the bitter end at 8 p.m. But it's mostly a waste of time unless the winning margin is expected to be razor-thin. That might be the case in the 4th District. For candidates feeling comfortable, election day is a great time to go golfing. Recharge. Get some fresh air and exercise. Come back down to earth after months of intense campaigning. While away some hours with family or friends, awaiting vote counting to begin in the evening.
