House Tracker

OK, so I went and voted this morning: 2 Libertarians (US House and US Senate), 1 Democrat (Sec of State) and the remainder straight R. As for why: I just don’t like Dan Coats. The guy moved away and said he was never coming back, and then came back and said he wanted to represent Hoosiers. If this race were closer, I would have voted for him, but since it is not, and the Lib (Rebecca St Burris) was saying all the right things, she got my vote. In the House, I was going to vote for Dr. Marvin Scott (GOP) until he decided to chastise the national party for not supporting him, intimating it was because he was black. I’m pretty sure you didn’t get support because your new media guy sent out Tweets that said:

“U should not allow queers around kids”
“Homosexuality is wrong & dangerous to everyone”
And the ever-popular: “Filthy Queer.”

Anyway, I met Dr. Scott at a Indy GOP function, and he seemed like a great guy, but the story he wanted me to push was about the incumbent pushing Sharia law. Trust me, in Indianapolis we have a lot more to worry about than the nascient threat of Sharia law.

And the GOP guy for Sec of State just wasn’t good. I’m just not sure I can vote for a guy who registered to vote at his ex-wifes house in order to keep his seat on a town council. Just not right.

So anyway, as much as I REALLY wanted to be a part of the Wave, I just couldn’t do it. I still want the GOP in the House to crush, but I didn’t have much opportunity to help that and remain true to voting for the man or woman and not the party.

Anyway, here’s a tracker I set up for tonight in case someone wanted a scorecard. Alas, Vets for Freedom and VoteVets do not take each other head on, but I suspect it will be a rough night over at casa de dicksmith.
