Not enough people are visiting A Vote for Science yet. So we've got a special offer. Go to A Vote for Science and get your free LOL Kitten!!!!!
In the mean time, I'm off to Ashwin Madia HQ to wrangle up some votes.
You do realize, yes? ... that McCain has pulled ahead of Obama in the national polling? Because of Sarah Palin apparently? You knew, this, right? Let me ask you two questions?
1) Why am I putting a question mark after ever sentence? and
2) What are you doing to try to limit the chances that the yahoos take over the US in November?
Voting, in and of itself, is not enough any more. You've got to go out there and do something!
K, later, bye.

Today is a big day for American Presidential politics, the so-called Super Tuesday when citizens in 24 states vote or caucus with their fellows to help select the candidates of the two main political parties. I live in one of those 24 states and Mrs. R. and I vote regular as clockwork.
I've been thinking about the Electoral College, that mechanism by which voters in the U.S. indirectly elect their president.
Are you registered? Do you know where to vote? You can find information and register (if you are not) here (this is an Obama site, but it works for everyone):
Doorknock. Phone call. Volunteer. Send Money!
The bad guys better not win. If I hear one member of the Coalition of the Sane who says on November 5th "I probably should have done more," I will respond with "Well, we warned you!"
I don't know what's worse:
McCan't taking the lead in the polls,
or Minnesota possibly flipping to red.

Seeing that blue outline for MN and the state listing as 47-46 Obama is a little scary.
Greg, fewer question marks. More exclamation points.
It was awfully nice that as I walked out this evening to cut grass, realizing that donating wasn't going to be enough this year, a very sweet lady came by with her clipboard and, when I answered all her questions correctly, asked whether I'd like to volunteer too. Luckily, they've got some behind-the-scenes stuff that needs doing. As much as I hate phones, I was almost ready to volunteer to make calls. Who knows? I may yet.
In Iowa, Obama has a comfortable lead. Things ain't all bad.
In the 3rd our grassroots efforts are paying off, and it is obvious that Madia is THE HOT CANDIDATE! I won't use question marks, as I am soooo confident that we will win in November. He was his usual outstanding self in the AARP debate last night and was "spot on" with every answer. His opponent, Eric Paulsen, was confusing at best and seemed to try to give the moderator whatever answer he thought she wanted to hear. He was caught in a lie about his vote against a senior drug bill in 2001, and never did admit he had voted against it (this bill was defeated by ONE vote). We can not afford Paulsen's type of leadership? Vote for Madia the Patriot!
