I didn't feel like clicking back to look up the other words I couldn't remember. My apologies to hilzoy since I will quote that post repeatedly over the next couple of weeks and probably fail to give credit where it's due. That was pretty amazing. Thank you blogosphere. My apologies also to you dear reader, Hawaii actually has a caucus (not a primary) and it's in two weeks (not one). And Steve, I'm sorry you didn't get a sticker, but you did get an invisible badge of honor. Which is nice. My apologies to slick and his wife.

I voted this morning, but didn't get a sticker. I still love democracy, but I wanted a sticker.

Not his reasons, just that ananth could like him. It's gotten to the point where his actual politics are secondary. EVERY election has been about "change" and how "we need to clean up the mess the current batch has made". Thing is, the people running are almost always card-carrying members of the current batch. Obama seems sincere. Completely agree with Hayden on what that actually gets us. Hawaii doesn't vote for another week, but this will be my first primary.
