Lots of Dems there... *shudder*

Was there no other choice? And no, I don't consider republicans a choice.

[transmothra.livejournal.com]

very little choice at all. only a couple of indies, and mainly running for the same seat, so i had to pick and choose. generally, those Natural Law Party folks tend to freak me out a little bit, as i've the feeling that they're really part of a cult (you know, the kind whose members actually take themselves seriously, and then all end up dead together in a cramped room in the desert, naked except for their Reeboks?).

anyway, yeah, i picked the indies wherever possible, but if there was a Dem that was more of a strategic shot, i picked them (likely i'll get stuck picking that guy Capt Janeway is married to for Guv). here's a list (http://vote-smart.org/vote-smart/ziplookup.phtml?zip5=45344&zip4=1740#CAN) of who i had to "choose" from.

Yeah, I guess I'm a little spoiled here. There was at least one third party on pretty much every seat. Usually several. I was actually able to vote libertarian across the board. That was exciting in a weird way.
