Tuesday, March 02, 2004 :::
I voted today, primarily for Republican state committee. I also voted for myself (and others) for ward committee; I have voted for myself on election days past, and have even been on the ballot once before, but it has just now occurred to me that this is the first time I'm likely to win the race I'm on the ballot for.
I did vote for George W. Bush, for the first time ever (in the general election in 2000, I wrote in Dave Barry; I would have voted for Bush in a competitive state, but I live in Massachusetts). I considered leaving it blank, or writing in someone else, but ended up deciding that if anyone paid attention to the results (which they won't), they'd just see "Bush" votes and "non-Bush" votes, likely recharacterizing my disappointment in his overspending as hostility toward his foreign policy.
