[Today’s run: Watson Road 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n
Today was the Mississippi primary and we toddled over to West Lowndes High School and did our thing.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure if I have ever voted in a primary before, maybe in Illinois.\u00a0 Iowa has a caucus and Colorado has a caucus.\u00a0\u00a0 Caucuses are kind of interesting because you get to talk to other people and make a case for a candidate, if you so desire.\u00a0 Primaries are just another\u00a0 vote.\u00a0\u00a0 (I think, in the misty past, I once voted in a Democratic Primary in Chicago.\u00a0 Then I had to dodge party solicitations until the next round when I changed back to Independent.)<\/p>\n
I voted in the Republican primary.\u00a0 The ballot had\u00a0 US Rep, US Senator and President on it. The President position was interesting because there were a lot of names on there that are no longer active in the election.\u00a0\u00a0 I wonder if any of those folks actually will get many votes?<\/p>\n
And they had “write in”.\u00a0 But I already have a job and I don’t want to move to D.C. anyway.\u00a0\u00a0 And which of my friends or acquaintances would I like to send into such a position?<\/p>\n
The polling place was not overly busy, but there were people in the booths when we arrived, around 10 am, and people coming in when we left.\u00a0 So I guess that means a steady stream.<\/p>\n
