   Well somewhat to my surprise, like [1]The Queen, I voted for John
   McCain today. As harshly critical as I have been towards his
   responsibility for the despicable McCain-Feingold campaign finance
   "reform" law (which should more appropriately be called the First
   Amendment Repeal), on issues that matter a great deal to me he's on
   the most important side most of the time. And he's the most serious
   and responsible candidate. Senators generally make lousy candidates,
   but if a Senator we are to have (and it seems inevitable this year)
   he's the best qualified of any running now (save perhaps Joe Biden on
   the Democratic side, and he's already done).

   It'll be interesting to see what the results are. It's already past
   8pm here and none of the news sources, but given the nature of the
   race, where both national parties have basically flipped Michigan
   voters the bird (Republicans just [2]a little less vehemently), I
   don't expect we'll know the winners, if you can call them that, until
   morning.

   Oddly enough, I did vote for McCain in 2000 in the primaries, also
   finding that due to odd circumstances there was no reason to register
   Democratic that year either. It seems Michigan Dems just don't want
   Esmay votes. Ah well, maybe next election cycle...
