The election is past. Thank God. And I can now heave a sigh of relief before informing you all that I, Peacewish, managed to garner 1,480 votes. (Full disclosure: one of those was mine.) That's 3.5% of the vote. The Democrat beat the Republican by 7%, so I covered half the difference. Maybe in a few years, someone will do a better job and get more than 7%, thus throwing the election to one or the other. That sort of stuff tends to make the major parties pay attention to us.

Will that someone be me? Nah. Running for office is something I'd always planned on doing, but now that it's over, I harbor no ambition to jump back into the fray. Writing about freedom is actually a lot more fun than campaigning for it. And less expensive, though I've noticed it does suck up one's free time. The list below may give the appearance that I haven't written anything in a long time, but don't forget that I've always got stuff going on at my livejournal. Clicky the link if you want to know more.
