Well. I did it. I voted in the WI primary.
It's not important how I voted; I cast my vote with many misgivings in any case. What's maybe more important, though, is that my polling place was out of ballots by 2pm. They were using Xeroxed copies, so everyone gets to vote, but they were overwhelmed with the turnout. I predict Wisconsin is going to be very interesting to watch tonight.

14. Too late for that.
My candidate was Edwards. I never really got comfortable with either of the two remaining, which is why I never jumped in on either side here. I even thought about marking the ballot for Edwards in protest (the whole raft of them are still on the ballot here), but decided that would be pointless lunacy.

4. Interesting or an Obama blowout? Large turnout favors Obama imo.

9. My intuitive sense is that it will be Obamaday in the Land of Beer Farts.

12. "Land of Beer Farts" Anymore than anywhere else? Is it the cheese?
If so, then it would be cheese farts, no?

is coming from--and they're gonna bomb Wisconsin to save the environment.

11. Don't worry about Jackpine Radical
He and ClassWarrior think very highly of each other when not trading insults.

17. Hi DL.
Not too loud, now. We wouldn't want CW to get a clue. It would be his first, and I'm not sure he's ready to handle one.

8. No. I was wearing funny looking rubber pull-on ankle boots that I use for wading
to my car in the show.

19. I voted in La Crosse at 11:15 and I was #196 in my ward.
At that time I was the only one there, but I think there are usually only 300 some who vote in my district and before noon I was #196. I am sure there will be a huge turnout after work and this evening. For a long time our primary here in Wisconsin has not mattered, but this year if will be different. The candidate who waltzed in for just the last weekend to campaign may be very disappointed with the results.
