During the last few elections, when the rhetoric starts getting really nasty and I get tired of it, I have voted by absentee ballot just to get it over with in my mind (so I can then ignore all the nonsense). I’ve never been an undecided voter so voting early has little cost to me. When I voted today, I could not bring myself to vote for Hagadone’s latest mouthpiece, Katie Brodie, so I wrote in Ron Rankin as a protest/memorial vote. I figured it was a great way to symbolically memorialize his service to us here in north Idaho. He would definately understand tilting at windmills…
