at the polls on election day. Also, Paul Wellstone's last campaign is about uncertainty.

There a number of good election law reasons why voting early is better in Texas including not having to worry about going to the right precinct.

polling place, but I like this early voting movement. In fact, my wife took her 86-year-old mom to City Hall to change the address on her driver's license today. After doing that, she voted right there on the spot. Voted Democratic right down the ballot, too. She's got the right idea.

Even though the outcome of every candidate I voted for is fixed (all safe incumbents), I still did my part.

I don't know why I had to go all negative. Maybe on election day you'll be bound to your bed from 7am-7pm while someone does all kinds of wonderful things to you.

Like MM said, vote early if you can.
