as an aside

In the state of Alabama, 5500 Democrats voted for John Edwards. Roughly 2700 Republicans voted for Rudy Giuliani and Fred Thompson. 700 voted for Richardson. How ya gonna make the effort to vote and then choose a candidate who has dropped out of the race? Don't you want to at least make sure your guy is still running before election day? Nearly 10,000 people voted for nobody in Alabama today.

This morning on CNN, they said that there were a lot of complaints to officials in Virginia yesterday that polling stations were not open.

Sadly there is no requirement that you have to pay attention in order to vote. On the upside, it looks like there will be a huge voter turn out next week in Virginia.
