@1, the Democracy Now debates have been MUCH better than the corporate driven shitfest the mainstream media covers.

And it proved that my vote for Jill was the right vote to cast

Too late, I was going to Benaroya Hall Friday night and there was my ballot in the mail. I decided to fill it out and drop it in the ballot drop box on the way just in case I got killed on the freeway driving into town. Besides, you guys didn't cover the 44th LD race: vote for Hans Dunshee and Mary McNaughton like Auntie Jim did if you live up here.

@5) If you've seen our offices, you'll agree it's more "shitfest" than "corporate."

"The Stranger's First Quadrennial Voting Party!"

I miss my local polling place and think this is an interesting concept, but I wonder if a quadrennial event wouldn't be more helpful with a two year off-set, to help cover the Democratic democratic Dip in off-year (non presidential) Federal elections.
