I voted. I'm still disappointed that "None of the Above" is not an option in some of these races.

I got to meet Dick Gregory! He was handing out literature for one of the At-Large council races.

The only vote of mine which I will reveal is that I voted "Yes" on Marijuana legalization. I'm not entirely certain I think it's a good idea (I've never tried it), but a) I don't want my neighbors who smoke enough that I get a contact high by leaving the windows open to get in trouble and b) It will piss-off certain members of Congress -- possibly to the point where they interfere.

I really think the District won't get other states caring about our lack of representation until congressional interference is seen.

Elections are tricky for me because I'm a moderate - in the end I'm still mostly liberal, but I have a few beliefs that are too conservative for a lot of liberals, yet too liberal for a lot of conservatives. In the end I think often things come down to the specific situation, as opposed to one rule for a broad range of situations, if that makes sense? So that makes it really hard to vote for someone with a specific stance when my immediate response is, "yeah, but is that always the case?" (Not that I don't have things I absolutely believe to be true or untrue.)

I know what you mean. I've always been an independent. I remember 1 election in Massachusetts where I voted Republican for governor because the Democratic nominee was someone I opposed, Democratic for most of the other offices, Green for one office, and Libertarian for State Treasurer because she was the only one with any accounting experience. You just never know.
