It is election day. Its very weird, this is the first ever election that I will get to vote *in person*. I don't even know how to use the machines. I guess it doesn't take a rocket scientist. In the past, I've always had my ballot in front of me and carefully researched each issue (on the Internet) before casting my vote. Because I am voting in person, I actually have to decide before I go vote. Ugh, early planning. Though some of it wasn't hard, because I am voting against stupid ads :) (for instance "John Sharp - Evil. Liberal. Wrong for Texas" - I am personally offended by anyone who would link the words Evil and Liberal, so therefore I will vote against that person - Dewhurst).
I'm voting mostly Democrat(especially for Governor, Senator, Congress and State Attorney General), one Republican (agriculture commissioner), and several greens and libertarians (for misc. judicial and local offices - I find it weird that almost the entire judicial branch in Texas is elected rather than appointed). The reason I am going for third parties for judges is because they are the only ones who've taken a clear stand against the death penalty and the other racist/sexist/unjust behavior that seems to be present in the TX judicial system.
Ok, that's my political rant. Go out and vote!
