We were actually just shaking free of a double-Bush-whammy in the gubernatorial race (though neither of the two candidates seems so smashingly better than Jeb, le sigh!)
Oh, God, I got all those aggressive phone calls too! What's up with that?! It's as if they decided that the millions of junk mail postcards I get and throw out and the hours of dirty campaign commercials weren't enough, they have to hassle you over the phone too! That's just rude no matter what the party!
I'm just not crazy about a system that allows partisanism at a polling place. I mean, sure, there are always the hundreds of signs stuck to the ground just beyond the library or church's property, but the amount of people hassling me on my way to the door and the pollers wearing partisan buttons while being able to see your party affiliation right there, it's uncomfortable and just doesn't seem quite fair.
The system's just broke in Florida, we have trouble EVERY election, and it's not going to be fixed any time soon. Grrr.
