If I can't get the girl, at least give me more money. -- Alan Alda

One last burst of effort

I have been busy all day long, trying to get everything done for tomorrow’s Primary. I have spent many dozens of hours over the last two weeks working the Early Voting booths. They are technically classified as “Absentee” ballots, but they set them up at various malls in the county, to allow as many people to cast a vote as possible.

We did okay, although the word didn’t really hit the streets until the day before we ended (last Friday, and Saturday was our last). Once the word got out, business picked up dramatically - almost 60% over the previous high-water mark.

But tomorrow is The. Big. Day.

The California Primary, as part of “Super Tuesday”, will be one of ten different States who will be having their Presidential Primary tomorrow, and John Edwards has to be seeing ”Mene, Mene, Tekel Upharsin” on every flat surface. If he doesn’t do a dramatic upset and actually beat John F*c&-ing Kerry in (at the very least) California and two other states, he cannot win. I mean that literally. If he loses California, he must win every other Primary election to secure the nomination. Since Kerry is currently leading in every State scheduled to have a Primary tomorrow, it will be all over but the shouting by about 9 pm (Pacific Time) tomorrow.

I can already feel the headaches starting… *sigh*

In the meantime, if you are registered, go and vote. There may not be candidates or issues that you feel like voting for, but there will certainly be some candidates or issues you will want to vote against. I’m also a real big fan of “None Of The Above”.

Used wisely, these tools can help you can go to the polls, express opinions on issues you care deeply about, and still retain your sanity. Give it a try!
