I just received my ballot in the mail today. Along with the wife.

(Along with one for a former roommate, who has lived out of state about three years now. Gonna have to tell the Registrar to purge him from the voter roll.)

Couldn't put up with abolishing the Electoral College, though. Its effect, on exactly one Federal office, is even playing field representation of small states v. large states. The EC has allowed us to dodge a bullet twice in the last nineteen years.

Useful, that.

Both bullets came from the Democratic side of the aisle.

Fun aside, Bruce -- a genuinely clueless man would be agreeing with you in all particulars -- having no reason not to. A man with clues is going to be in dispute with you pretty frequently. Are you not so midtwentieth-century demisocialist you creak?
