I just came back from voting in the NH primary.

The place was like a morgue. I was the only voter there and the only political activity I saw was a rather sorry looking Ron Paul supporter with a sign standing near the driveway to the hall. It was the exact opposite of the primary in 2008 which was packed with voters and had a festival atmosphere. There was one lighter note to it all, though. There was a person listed on the Democratic ballot named "Vermin Supreme." I was literally laughing out loud when I left the building.

For one thing his name's not Mitt Romney.

Of course he would have to paint a cross on that boot.

would fit right in on the GOP side, seriously. I would've love to see a Romney/Supreme ticket.
