With a hotly contested Republican Primary, the Republicans manage to get just over a hundred thousand additional voters to the polls, compared with the previous primary. The Democrats add a million voters.
The propositions on neither the 2004 nor 2008 primary ballots generated intense interest.
As you might guess from previous posts, I'd like to see results tabulated like this ...

Getting Past the '60s? It's Not Going to Happen
Good flashback on the reactionaries who are so often forgotten. Here's one I'll never get over:
"If it takes a bloodbath, let's get it over with." California Governor Ronald Reagan, April 7, 1970, in reference to using state violence to suppress protests at UC Berkeley.
Recommendations for lunch in Napa/Yountville/Sonoma area? (French Laundry is booked.) One of the diners is a vegetarian. The other is (mostly) an omnivore.
I'm still trying to get my mind around yesterday's news that Exxon's 2007 profit of 40 billion dollars equates to 1,300 dollars a second.
dont really care about the world of hobbits but if i did id be glad to hear that the director of pans labyrinth is taking over directorial responsibilities .
