Already sealed the envelope, although I still think I made the right choice. Reagan Dunn looks like a guy who would put someone away for life for 2 bags of pot.

But that's good to know.

Attorney Generals don't try cases, they set policy. So your "tough on crime" candidate is indeed going to **** lots of people over for small things, but he'll just set the policy. But actually I think you're going to legalize weed anyway, so that example probably doesn't matter much.

Me? No. Though I did live there off and on for 10 years.

Just glad you aren't in a swing state. Of course, I'm finding it hard to pull myself off the couch to vote today. All my local races are unopposed Dems (not even Greens!), and it looks like all the good guys have Wisconsin in the bag. Considering I don't particularly care for this centrist corporatist party anyway, I might stay home. Youth turnout doesn't seem to be suffering if I go by my facebook.

Tammy Baldwin needs your vote Nim... c'mon now... and Obama (if that's you're preference) isn't safe here either. Remember Kloppenberg and Barrett? Don't make me drive down there.

Thanks to Hurricane Sandy and unbelievable incompetence by the Long Island Power Authority, I was unable to vote for the first time in my adult life...
