I VOTED! Although I admit, I don't know who the hell I voted for.

Small town. Super small town. I was not even going to vote because I've been working on other regional elections from AZ to NJ, NY, and beyond. I just hadn't followed our municipal elections closely, as there aren't too many issues facing us. But I swerved into the parking lot at the town hall, couldn't even find a parking place. It was packed at 3:30 in the afternoon! So I showed my ID and got my ballot and voted ONLY for Democrats. There were a lot of races for such a small town, but in those in which there was only a Repub running, I left them blank. We don't have a straight ticket choice here, so I went through the ballot and found the Democrats and voted for them. It was a two page ballot, even.

Did you have anything to do with the VA gubernatorial campaign? Don't you think McA has it in the bag over Kookinelli?

I have some great anti-Cooch pieces in my portfolio from his last election bid, but I didn't work on anything in that race this cycle. I mostly focused on Arizona, NY and NJ.

As for VA, I don't trust anything I hear. Without real paper ballots and verifiable voting, I'll never trust another election. Terry McC may be up by ten points now, but with just a few tweaks to the software the Cooch could still win.
