Right now, learning how to walk without pain and paying off my medical bills. I'm recovering from surgery, so my goals are pretty modest. And this has to do with the caucuses how? Your outrageous leaps of logic defy even the time/space continuum.

...this coming from someone who doesn't even know when election day is? Oh, it's much worse than that. I often don't even know what day of the week it is. I'm sure it has nothing to do with working a completely erratic schedule for most of my life.

Federalization. Spoken like a true old-school Democrat For being a self-proclaimed "smart person", your critical thinking abilities really aren't up to snuff. Careful, they'll vote you out of Mensa.

Two things: Voting is still regulated by states. I'd assume (perhaps incorrectly) that a states' right-er would want to keep it that way. Vote by mail has been proven time and again to be a very vulnerable method. I'm not sure why people don't seem to be concerned about that. I'm also not sure why I bother to respond to stupid questions put out by our resident genius. Hardly worth the time. FW, you really ought to become better-informed before discussing politics.

I put forward Maylou as exhibit A. Casting a legal vote in a legal election is not cheating, genius.

Haha that is completely a non-issue. Score another one for the brilliant mind of F'weather!

The store stayed open til 8 tonight, I swung by after work. Still quite a bit to choose from, especially for base layers and they seemed to have a lot of nice softshell jackets. Undies were half-off, who can resist that?. I grabbed a couple of them. (well, I paid for them on the way out too.)

Aw, I thought it was kind of cute! Can't take him seriously much yanno!

WHAT?

Gosh, I don't know Rob! We wouldn't want anyone living with a dirty floor, doncha know. I might just take next week off anyway. I could use the time to overthrow the government and maybe invade a foreign country, like say, Eastern Washington.

Who knew FW had such a flair for creative writing?

On the Interwebs, all the sale merch is being referred to as "web special". I can't figure out which is the "real" merch and which is the faux.

My dad graduated from things at various times, some in the '60s. He was a McGovern supporter but then went semi conservative as he got older. Now married to a liberal attorney in the mold of Hillary C. Apparently I just never knew he had racist leanings. The way he and my mom raised me, it is (was) the farthest thing from my mind. That said.... hmmmmm.

Ok so my dad's got racist bones in his body, but he's not crazy at least.

I take this back after having spoken to my dad, by the way. My dad, too. You're dad's playing the racist card too? That sucks. Being middle aged, I thought I already knew all the annoying crap that makes my parents, well, human. I thought my dad was more evolved than this, and it bums me out too.

I know this might shock and upset some here, but it looks like I might get stuck at work until after the polls close tomorrow night. It all depends on the whims of the employees of a major software corporation based in Redmond, Washington at this point. I am still optimistic that I will get done with work in time, just to upset and irritate folks who think I am commiting a terribly wrong and immoral act. Take solace in the fact that I have crossed parties in many primaries prior to this, if nothing else. It is within my rights to leave work early in order to vote, but I'm not willing to turn down the O/T just to make a point, at this point. It seems I've already made my point.

Ok, I finally got to talk to my dad tonight. Apparently Barack Obama is a silver tongued devil with zero experience who is just running on being a black guy. Who knew?

no sheet?

Yes, crossing parties in the primary is pretty much baby-raping by any other name.

My dad votes republican sometimes, but I don't think there's a racist bone in his body.

My dad emailed me (he is a real moderate, votes both ways regularly) that he'd rather vote for Bush again than vote for Obama. I have not had a chance to talk to him about it yet, but what exactly is the mortal flaw with Obama besides being a little young and fairly new to national politics?

Clarification: he is going to tattle on me for doing something that is completely and 100% legal. If it is such a goddamned anathema to have Democrats voting Republican in the primary, well the best way to accomplish that would be to get rid of the primary vote and get all their delegates through the caucus system like the Dems do.

Anyone who needs to sink that level of profanity in a fairly civil discussion like this one only shows their own character. No one is attacking you two or calling names.
