Twas the night before the election
It's the day before an election. An election that has very few items on the ballot that people seem to care about.
What should be the biggest item on the ballot, who gets to "run" for president, is a non-issue. On the Republican side, current President George W. Bush is it, with just a single guy from California trying to run against him. The Democratic battle is over with all parties conceding to John Kerry.
What that leaves us with is a battle for Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. A race that barely has any interest, although it has joined Sheriff Jack Stephens and Parish President Junior Rodriguez together in support of Roland Belsome. Getting a post card showing those two joining forces was a shocker, but Belsome is no Scott Wolfe. The post card simply showed a separate portrait of each, Stephens, Belsome, and Rodriguez. Wolfe was able to get everyone in the same room together.
I received another flyer for Steve Fecke as well as an automated phone call. This just makes me wonder, what is up with the State Republican Party and why is there so much interest to get elected to a non-paying position that has no authority over anything?
Personally, I think there is a lot more going on behind the scenes, but we just don't know what it is yet.
Just to recap for the elections tomorrow, here are my choices:

Not everyone can vote in all these elections, it does depend upon your party affiliation and precinxt you live in.
Because the turn out is expected to be very low, I urge everyone to go and vote. It should take you no more than five minutes to vote. And if you don't, who will?
