Just got back from the polls... |
|
and am enjoying the best feeling I've had since 2003...Turnout is all they've said and more.Some minor candidate had just finished a photo op thing there (had to be minor-top end motorhome but no professional painting or signs) and the news crews were leaving.Major republican electioneering outside-it honestly overwhelmed the democratic presence, but once inside democrats had to wait to get checked in and republicans...not so much. I was pleasure to vote for John Edwards since he is the first candidate in my lifetime to remind me of populism expressed by the actions of FDR. An extra pleasure was to write-in my choice for Vice President. Few things give more of a tingle than to write-in "Dennis Kucinich"....Tonight the clowns walk off and we take down the tent four another 4 years-but Hey, Thanks for coming...

11. Yeah-there's an actual slot on the ballot... |
|
two guys who's names I didn't even bother to read were running for Democratic Vice President...filing fees are low here so we attract a bunch of fringers.
