Yes, absolutely.

I whole heartedly encourage all of you to rush to the polls and cast your votes for the nine races on the ballot where there is a Democrat running unopposed and the other two where the Democrat doesn't even need your vote to win by about 30 points over their flatlined opponent.

Oh, and don't forget the non-binding ballot resolutions to instruct our beloved State House members how to vote. And they better do as we say, or next time, maybe we'll really really wish there was more than just one candidate on the ballot as we again (but begrudgingly!) connect the two halfs of the arrow together for the incumbent with our little optical scan pen line.

Or maybe we'll get the same non-binding resolution on the ballot again! That'll show em. The first eight times they didn't listen to us when we said we wanted to decriminalize marijuana, but the ninth time is always the charm.

The most exciting race on the ballot to me is the one for allowing wine in supermarkets. I wonder if "Yes on 1" is having a victory party somewhere? That's one I'd really like to be invited to.

When I get home from work, I'm heading to the polls, casting my ballot, and then turning on CNN to watch the results of all the states with real, exciting races that haven't been forgone conclusions for the last three months.

Sorry for the rant, but I really miss voting in a state with a two-party democracy.

Speaking of which...

I saw a total of ZERO ads or other mention from either Capuano or Kennedy.

Now I have long supported Capuano (though his Brazil "junket" and his arrogant reply when called on it last year certainly gave me pause) but just because his re-election is a sure thing, is there no reason to put some effort into communicating with the electorate?

Capuano doesn't even have an opponent, and while Kennedy does, Chase isn't credible. And from what I remember hearing back in 2004, Chase didn't pay his campaign staffers.

I'm actually planning on casting a protest vote for Larry Frisoli for Attorney General primarily because I'm insulted that Martha Coakley didn't bother campaigning at all.

Capuano actually has a Socialist Workers Party opponent.

I realized that after I posted it, but then figured that a Socialist Worker Party candidate wasn't worthy of a correction.

I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone complain that there aren't enough political ads...

Re: Yes, absolutely.

[an-art-worker.livejournal.com]

I was meaning less that I want more political ads (unless they are wonderfully over the top attack ads.... those are hilarious) and more that if these guys are wanting us to vote for them they actually...say something to us about it.

I guess it doesn't work that way. I would have liked to see Mike explain about his trip (with his wife) to Brazil again... or talk about the issues that face our district and what he hopes to do about them... or reach out in some way.
