Election Day Open Thread

It's election day, and perhaps we should note our experiences voting and whether anything noteworthy happened.

Here in Charleston, it is a quiet day, and you wouldn't know it was Election Day 2010. I'm heading after work to vote  in my first major election in the state and will be voting mostly Democratic, including the wonderful Virginia Graf -- with the exception of voting Jesse Johnson for U.S. senate.

Many other folks I know have either voted in person via early voting at the Kanawha Court House or voted early this morning. I'm heading to my South Charleston firehall to vote this afternoon.

One interesting race to watch out of Kanawha will be the County Circuit Judge race between Carrie Webster and Dan Greear, which has been particularly nasty. I can't imagine Greear, a Republican, winning the seat, but it isn't impossible.

What's going on your neck of the woods? Any local elections that you're keeping your eye on?

I voted early (0.00 / 0)
I voted a straight Democratic ticket. We have a wonderful candidate in Bob Mills against the Republican rightwinger Jonathan Miller, who I've heard even the Republicans in Charleston would like to see use. Miller is so lazy on top of being. The three members of the Republican county commission refused to reappoint him to an important regional committee because Miller never bothered to show up to meetings. They put a Democrat on there instead even though he wanted reappointment (probably gave the Do-Nothing something to put on his resume. I also thought we had some great County Council candidates for the new County Council form of county government. Matt Barney in particular is a friend and has a good head and heart. State Sen. John Unger definitely should be re-elected instead of the rightwing ideologue Del. Craig Blair who is too radical for even the WV Chamber of Commerce.



When a man embarks upon a crime, he is morally guilty of any other crime which may spring from it. Sherlock Holmes.
