Massachusetts is one of the states holding Presidential primary elections today. I didn't get to the polls until about half an hour before closing, and my ballot was number 306. Given that the precinct has around 2500 registered voters, that's pretty piss-poor turnout.

On the other hand, Obama was the only name on the Democratic ballot, Romney was fully expected to win the Republican nod (his legal residence is still in Massachusetts) and who the heck cares about the three-way bunfight for the Green-Rainbow Party nomination? Besides the three candidates, and possibly their mothers, that is.

Hee. Saturday Night Live once had a bit where one of their players was picking Oscar winners, and when he got to best supporting actor/actress, he'd say "I don't think anyone really cares about these," and just pull all of the magnetic strips off of the board. Your comment about the green-rainbow nom just brought that back.

the three way bun-fight! Well, that and any day I get to vote for Obama is a nice day.
