Thanks.

Dear fellow local citizens,

I'm disappointed in all of us. The sample ballot for next week's primary was in the paper today, and, thanks to our closed primaries, there's no reason to show up. Only 2 things will appear on my ballot: I can choose between Pres. Obama and "uncommitted," and between my beloved state senator and a candidate who has withdrawn from the race (and so votes for him will not be counted). That's it. Everyone else, down to city council, is running unapposed. We can do better than this.

I think the sec. of state's prediction of 10% statewide turnout is optimistic... What a way to run a democracy.

skhill, that is just sad isn't it? Although I can see why no one wants to run, I was asked to run for city council about ten years ago, I told them no way in hell. I wasn't about to have my entire life made public in the local press.

God help me, but I live in a county where nearly every single elected official is from one political party. And it's not my party. I won't reiterate the myriad of reasons that I hate where I live, but this is near the top of the list.

I can't wait for the day that we have open primaries in my state.

I live in a STATE where this is the case.
