Voted this morning in No Va at 8. Was vote 126 on the Democratic side. Only 58 votes on the GOP.

No one had any tables set up (except the libertarians with some petition to get on the ballot.)

Ms FSogol said, "Libertarians, you mean like Rand Paul?"
Petition guy, enthusiastically, "Yeah!"
Ms FSogol, "Good Gawd, No way."


Although about double the votes as a normal non-presidential local election, plently of parking, no line, no traffic. Low turnout imo, huge HRC win.

Added: Strange primary. No signs were posted and I've seen no signs around neighborhoods. In the last few weeks, I've seen about a dozen Bernie stickers, a few HRC, two Trump, and a Cruz. The GOP seems to hate all their candidates.

Not that you care much. Just wanted to pass it along. I feel I know O'Malley and you are a big part of that. Learning as much as I did about him has left me feeling very optimistic. I say he is going to play a major role in our party and I truly hope he will be the replacement for DWS.

I too feel that O'Malley is the future of our party.

If someone gave me a hard time about something, I wouldn't care, but if someone likes what I post, that's really cool. Thanks again.
