Super Tuesday - 2 votes for the kilt!

[Yaish]

Primary elections also have other things on the ballot as well. So in addition to voting for the representative for your registered party, in California we voted on several Propositions. Props are issues put on the ballot before the voters over things like taxes, changes to the State Consitution, special spending measures and the like.

Has MacCain tried to energize the Scots vote yet? What clan is MacCain?

Evidently the Kennedys, Kerry and the other Irish weren't able to do much for O'Bama in Massachusetts.

Wore my Isle of Skye to the polls in Arizona today. Now I'm used to having a rough time...the volunteers are pretty rough here. Took in my voter registration card, driver's license, utility bill, and auto registration. This time no hassle, just a polite smile from a nice lady even older than me, and she looked at the Isle of Skye and said, "New Kilt?" And I guess it was to her, first time wearing that tartan to the polls.

The reason for the ID deal is up here in the boonies they don't deliver mail, so we all have to go to the post office to get it, so our "addresses" are POB numbers....but now with immigration reform they want to know our physical addresses...hence the power bills and car registration proof. Finally broke down and got my physical address on my driver's license.

At least I'm not paying a poll tax or having to pass a literacy test to vote like I did down south in the '60s...them were the days young ones, them were the days....

And, had the same thought about McCain wearing his tartan but I'm sure his advisors would have an opinion about that. Maybe if the Phoenix Highland Games were before Super Tuesday instead of after it he could have made a kilted appearance.

And jeez, if the pollwatcher lady recognized me and knew that I was wearing a 'new' tartan kilt I shouldn't need any ID at all!!

I went to the polls today in my new kilt, the mowgli made one, and one of the guys manning the polling place just stared at me the whole time I was in there. Weird, and a little uncomfortable. The elderly ladies just glance at me and moved on, nothing out of th ordinary. Why do women take it so much easier? Its just a garment!

I just want to congratulate everyone for the ability to talk about politics without "talking about politics". This group never ceases to amaze me. Good on ya!

I stayed up until about 11:30 last night just watching the polls before i just had to go asleep. I wanted to stay awake long enough to see California's districts report in, and i finally said forget it. I woke up this morning and turned on the news and they still weren't finished. (glad i didn't commit to staying up all night, today would have been hell without sleep!)

My first time voting was yesterday. Of course, my candidate of choice doesn't have a chance of winning the nomination (WHo is he? Hint: he has a blimp), but oh well. Still went and fulfilled my civic duty (or some such). Felt good afterwards. Then I watched the results come in

[ozone]

One of the candidates owns a Blimp?!?!

Where DO people find these things out.....never ceases to amaze me.

I think that someone who owns a retro item like a air dirigible cant be all bad...or can they? After all it was the Nazi party who tried to make blimps the new in-thing oh so long ago.

for the record: this is NOT a commentary on whoever owns a blimp since i have no idea who you are talking about.

[McClef]

A blimp? California?

Aha easy!

The candidate himself doesn't have a blimp, but his supporters got one with campaign signs on the sides.

Another hint: A common slogan is to "Google" this candidate.

Gents -- keep to kilts as much as possible, please.
