Are you kidding me? You are in VA, you have a great American hero, writer, and public servant running for Senate. And you are complaining?

I'm also voting against the proposed smoking ban in my city. I don't feel they should take away the business owners' rights.

Good for you on the smoking ban opposition. I'm a non-smoker who completely opposes it as well. The sad fact is, the tryanny of the majority will win.

As usual, there has been virtually ZERO information locally about several of the elections. The only information available is campaign posters for a couple of the seats. So, as I have in the past, I'll walk in and vote only for those offices that I'm confident I'm making the best informed decision for. I can only hope that the rest of the voters in my area can somehow make a more informed vote than I can. Then again, I'm a pretty reasonable person (usually) - several of the winners are going to be determined solely on how people like the spelling of their name, and where they appear (first or second) on the ballot. It's quite unfortunate. (then again, do I really care who the county coroner is? County treasurer? Thus, I don't feel too bad about not knowing the candidates or caring about those offices.
Why are you waiting for the info to come to you? You can't honestly want to see more commercials or fluff pieces on your local news right?

You should try finding out what will be on your ballot yourself and then research them yourself.

I live in the middle of nowhere... there isn't a "local news" aside from the newspaper that's published once per week. Also, I'm quite adept at research, but I simply don't have the time to track down where these candidates live and stop by there house to interview them. I'm all set on the "big" elections - offices at the state level. It's the local elections that I know absolutely nothing about.

I'm all set for my local reps and my congressman but I'm still in a toss up over the governnor. The Dem candidate has run nothing but negative attack ads but he has a point. The R candidate is lacking in experience with the issues that are on the table right now. Then again... The D candidate already had two terms and didn't do very well with them.

Sara Palin... Kinda hot for a potential governor... :p
She'd have my vote. Looks like she could yank off those glasses and whip her hair around, then do a pole dance any second.

Oh yeah, I voted today. NY...exciting. :roll: I feel kind of dirty voting for Hevesi for comptroller, though.
