Vote in Today's Primary

Today, May 16th, is the Pennsylvania primary election. I know that its probably raining, but get off your ass and do your civic duty. Our liberties erode on a daily basis, so please exercise your right (responsibility) to vote. Turnout will be low, so you won't have to wait in a long line. Polls are open between 7 am and 8 pm, so you can swing by before or after work.

As if it's not patently obvious, central Pennsylvania's foremost Cajun Jew is endorsing Chuck Pennacchio for U.S. Senate. Also, Valerie McDonald Roberts is my choice for Lt. Governor.

In the race for Centre County's two members of the state committee, I probably will be writing in candidates. Ruth Luse and John Saylor ignored the majority preference for Chuck Pennacchio by the Centre County Democrats (yes, that's true) and endorsed Bob Casey at the State Democrats meeting. Joanne Tosti-Vasey of NOW convinced Sandals to flip-flop on parental consent and notification for abortion. To all three, a solid middle finger.

The other big races in Centre County have no competition, but I am going to endorse Ed Rendell versus Write in Candidate for Governor.
