I voted for a Socialist today!
In one of the Pennsylvania districts (26th, I believe), the contest was between the incumbent Repub and the Socialist candidate. I went for the Socialist. :)

6. did you read Eric Zorn this morning in the Trib?
only two parties (no matter how corrupt their candidates are) matter. Everything else is a waste.

sheesh.

Bloggo's days are numbered. But he did it to himself. He did not have to sell offices for 40K in campaign donations. He did not have to create his presidential committee BEFORE he even was sworn into office in Springpatch. He is the one who tied himself to REzko. he is the one who made deals with Stu Levine. He is the one who sold his office, his soul, and our party.

2. Careful, there
If there was a Dem candidate, you will be tarred and feathered for not voting for that one.

3. Well I sure like how Sanders thinks what ever you call him.
I always send a little money and I do not even come from his state.

4. I will be voting for one Soc too. I would love to vote for the Green for Gov but
I don't want to take any chances on the Repub getting into the the governor's mansion. That could mean the end of my state healthcare.
