I voted in our little local primary election - ask me anything!

[Glenda]

I really like the "ask me anything" posts, and I had to start one :D

I live in MA which is mostly Democrats. Except a "pretend-democrat" is running against my favorite local politician. THe pretend-democrat is pro-life and anti-gay-marriage

1. So, which one did you vote for? -SARCASM-

Sounds like here in Chicago - the aldermen are always democrats running against democrats. Couldn't dare declare yourself a Repug or you'd get no votes. I believe we have 49 dems & 1 repug on the City Council.

3. LOL - I voted for the real democrat

It makes it harder to figure out who to vote for when people pretend to be for the other party, doesn't it?

I hope people aren't too apathetic to vote. I talked to my neighbor and now I know what it's like for the people who have been beaten down by the economy, and have no faith in politicians

10. One up on ya

I had an '88' Vikings jersey (Alan Page, purple people eaters) and a '66' Packers jersey (Ray Nitschke) when I was a kid.

I guess I'm just a schizo NFC north (central?) kinda guy.

Is this what's known as a 'mutual admiration society?'

13. I didn't have any jerseys...

But my H.S. math teacher was a Packers fan. We could get him talking about the Packers, then we wouldn't have to do any math that day :)

16. I thought it was for the original poster, but here:

Is it an African or a European swallow?

[Kierkegaard]

17. Huh? I--I don't know that! Auuuuuuuugh!
