Virginia Voters Don't Know When Their Election Is

The Associated Press is reporting that the Virginia State Board of Elections has received over 400 calls already this morning from confused voters wondering why their polling places are closed today. Some folks were apparently unaware that Virginia's Republican and Democratic primaries are being held Feb. 12, a week from today, along with Maryland and D.C.

its not about what anyone KNEW what was going on, its what was admitted to in sworn testimony - you are aware that there's a legal issue at stake here, I assume?

I doubt anything will happen to the CIA anytime soon because of this.

..no matter if it were Super Tuesday or not.

as far as shit getting lost in the shuffle I was more concerned that the telecom immunity bill was coming back up today. now it seems like it might not get a vote until tomorrow. still probably pass though :(

I thought they'd postponed that until after 2/5 specifically becuase Reid needs Hillary and Obama's votes...?

abc radio has been going apeshit about mccain and the betrayal of conservative principles

he is not doing well in whites over 30, and much worse over 45 pretty much everywhere.
