Poring over the sample ballots together. Not quite always agreeing but being agreeable.

Is anyone surprised that the Koch brothers were some of the ones hiding behind there? With Karl Rove’s friends in there.

And on a lighter take on the endless politicking, our old friend Wes Facebooked that he’d just seen an ad for Pepco, the power company around DC where he lives and where we’re from; his wry comment was, Some politician is going to lose the race tomorrow because they didn’t buy that air space.
Heh. May the best candidates–and the country!–win. Vote!
