Primary Day in Virginia

Posted February 10, 2004, 4:07 p.m.

If you live in Virginia and consider yourself a Democrat, you should try to get out and vote in the primary today for your favorite among the candidates.

I won’t be voting today, because I don’t associate myself with the Democratic Party, but Senator John Kerry is probably going to be giving his victory speech from George Mason University tonight. If you watch the speech, keep an eye out for me (I might not be there though, because I have a class right then).

Participate in your government! Important stuff!
