It is almost time to vote, and I need to decide. I'm still registered in Texas, so I could request an absentee ballot for Texas and therefore allow me to vote for Kinky Friedman.

Or, I could register here in Virginia and vote in the Senate race, where my vote might actually count for something.

These are the rough decisions.

Me neither. I was very baffled before clicking.

No, wait. Actually, I'm still baffled.

Well, on the plus side, if you vote in Virginia, at least you have the comfort of knowing that your vote went to stop ONE drooling incompetent from getting elected.

Kat,
Before I can give my opinion, I would need to know who you'd vote for in Virginia...

Almost believed the title. Almost... Was going to say: "My, how you've changed, Kat!" [Big Grin]

I actually do not yet know who I would vote for in Virginia. All the political theatrics are entertaining, but I usually decide who to vote for a few days before the election when the League of Women Voters puts out that issue guide for all the candidates.

The Texas Governor constitutionally has very little power. I happened to read the Texas Monthly where the backpage columnist announced he was quitting the column and writing mystery books in order to run for governor.

Maybe I've just been watching too much Veronica Mars lately and so am amused by the name.

My suggestion, imagine your in Illinois:

Vote for both.

Remember, do your duty, vote, vote early and vote often.

If it were me, I would (for a change) not choose "Kinky".

I opt for "Vote Kinky", but only because I dislike Rick Perry so very much.

I can't vote for Kinky, but I did contribute to his campaign, and not just for the autographed poster. [Smile]

I want Kinky to run for President so that I can vote for him. You'd better not lose my absentee ballot for that one, Florida!

I'm fairly certain I'm voting for Kinky. Too bad as you've said that the Texas governor has little power. Our state constitution's pretty bad. It's unfortunate that we can never really get a constitutional convention up and running to draft a new one.

THT: I would hope that I wouldn't base my voting decisions on a political joke putting words into a candidates mouth.

I saw that earlier this week. [Smile]

What's that? Is that an LDS thing? Is it in every state? I never vote anymore because I feel so inadequate about understanding what's going on. [Frown]

The League of Women Voters prepares a voters guide with all the issues and where the different candidates stand on them. At least, they did in Texas, and Matt made some noises that led me to believe that I can get that here in Virginia too.

I love it. I like watching all the politicking fun, but I prefer, when it looks like my vote might actually matter, to vote on the issues, which can be hard to find amidst the editorial jokes.
