Went and voted yesterday. Wanted to vote early, because I'll be doing voter turnout on Election Day. Don't want to be too busy to vote myself!

I was surprised to see seven candidates for President and Vice President on Wisconsin's ballot: the Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and Naders (officially the "Better Life" party) are all there.

Then there are candidates for the Socialist Workers Party, and a separate ticket for the Socialist Party of Wisconsin.

This is a huge mistake. Somebody ought to go tell those Socialists they're really hurting their chances, splitting the Socialist vote like that.

I see that Governor Doyle voted today, too. He said he voted for Kerry so I guess that proves once and for all that he is not a Clintonite. No report on how his wife voted.

By the way... If someone votes twice, does that mean he is twice as patriotic as the rest of us?

You mean he says he voted for Kerry. We don't really know, do we?

Anyway, given his track record of supporting losing candidates, it's probably better for our side that he's stumping for Kerry.
