Well...I just got my internet connection to behave. So...maybe things won't be so futile when I try to do websearchings.
So I missed Friday...the girlfriend has Friday and Saturday off, and I had no post set up ready to go like I had planned.
So that's what's up with that. See ya kids Monday!

Your Ohio Primary
ok...so I've moved to a whole different end of the state. That's kinda disturbing on some levels...but not, on others. But I'm still in Ohio, so thankfully many of my links are still valid. Changing them is the next big project I have.
But today, I wanna look into the primary. When it is, who can vote, etc etc. Let's go consult Google.
By a round-a-bout way, I found this handy dandy schedule. This guy has some pretty nifty graphics, so it's a bit better than my postage. Not a bad site on the whole...go check it out!
This tells us that Ohio has a joint primary (both Democratic and Republican parties hold primary elections the same day) on March 4th. This is after super-Tuesday, so it makes our primary even more irrelevant than most...kinda sad.
I believe the best way to investiage the how-tos of a primary is through the Ohio offices of the parties...so lets go back to Google.
The Ohio Democratic Website really kinda sucks. A lot. They don't even have the March 4 primary listed on their events calendar. In fact, they barely mention the primary at all. They do have a pretty robust information base in general terms, however.
The Ohio Republican Website is flashier, and better and getting their message out, but has even less real info. The national GOP website doesn't look so barren of info, and I was referred to it a few times...but I was looking for information on the Ohio primary. Didn't find it, and the GOP didn't list the primary with their events either.
I'm kinda disappointed in both these groups. Remind me why I'm registered Independent?
Maybe the Ohio Board of Elections? Long story short, not really.
ok, I had to walk away from the computer after 2 hours on this. I believe I saw a lil blurb back on the Ohio Democratic Party's site on their FAQs about registering with a party...their answer was no, but if you vote in a primary that will set your party affiliation. So it resets your registration? Apparantly. I couldn't find anything to clarify it, and I'm just about done.
Now for Some News...
