I Voted

I'm really not at all excited about our candidates, but I voted anyway - Republican primary. There was no choice, and there will be none come November. It is the first time I remember that we will be choosing between two liberal Democrats - McCain, and either "Curious George" or Hellery. Here in Texas, each party does its primary a bit different. The Republicans do a "winner take all". The Democrat party delegates are pro rated according to the popular vote. For some reason, the Democrat party also has a second vote after the polls close. It is a caucus vote. I don't know why. Seems like just another way to pad the outcome. Voting twice to elect somebody??? Sounds fishy to me. Anyhow, I did vote. Not for McCain, though.

There were some local positions on the ballot as well, and some resolutions. Two of them (I thought) were supposed to be done already. One to enforce border laws, and one to require an official photo ID for voting. How could anybody object to either one of those???

This is not a good election cycle. Just once, I'd like to see a really good candidate run. I guess all we can do is concentrate on Congress, and make sure we swing it to the Conservative side - for the sake of checks and balances if nothing else.
