Today I get to vote!
That's all I have to say about that.
EDIT: I know Hillary Clinton is going to trounce Barack Obama in Kentucky. I am interested in seeing the geographical breakdown of the votes, though.
RE-EDIT: No surprise. Clinton takes Appalachia; Obama takes the metro areas.
I know that feeling! Most of us are not used to actually having our primary votes "count", because it's usually decided before it gets to us.
But ironically, I now just wish it were over! Time for our party to unite and focus on November. Although I can't imagine your state is going to do any favors for "my" candidate today. ;-)

I got redistricted a couple of years ago into a heavily "I Don't Like Him" district. Therefore, there is no need for me to vote on the Federal Congressional level. I do still have a voice in local elections, and possibly even the presidential election.

Vote away!

I have no idea who I would vote for. I have looked at every candidate but truly none of them stand out, I personally can't agree with anybody's platforms. I better start hustling and try to determine who is the best huh?

BOY! KY loves Hillary! Can't wait to see what my 85 yr. old grandmother in Lexington has to say about this; she can't stand Hillary! She use to love Bill, until he starting speaking during Hillary's campaign.

I'm glad you got to exercise your franchise as a citizen. I think it's important.

Jeez, and we in Texas always felt disenfranchised for having our primary in late March!

Alison, That happened here too. Democrats (Obama specifically) won outright St Louis and Kansas City. The farther you got from the center of the cities, the more Clinton started taking over the vote until way out in the sticks, the Democrats (if you could find one) voted exclusively for Clinton. Very interestingly, if you combine the votes from both the Democratic and Republican primaries, you get this really cool picture of blue fading to red from the cities on both 'coasts' to the middle of the state, which is bright red. The General Election will be very interesting. If the Dems pull it together, there is a slight chance that MO will swing left of center this year. It will be very close.

No surprise at all. Interesting but not shocking.

I totally forgot that you got to vote yesterday! Double WAY TO GO for you!! The rural vote vs the metro vote separation continues. I really do find politics fascinating and this election year has me riveted, except of course for forgetting that as Kentucky votes, so by extension do you ;-)

I'm glad you fought the good fight.
You should see the difference in general elections between Eastern and Western Washignton! Fortunately a lot more people live in the Western part of the state...
