Rain falling steadily. Hopefully, it will suppress the vote in your neck of the woods. I wasn't going to vote (torn between the emotional urge to vote for R over D, and reason which says to sit it out, and let the establishment Republicans wither on the vine), but that ad put me over the top. Plus, Gillespie has been talking a decent game, at least.

I think you did the right thing.

I'm not convinced. There are two schools of thought, and both have merit, but I think that ultimately, Republicans who are actively hostile to middle America do more damage to this country than Democrats who are actively hostile to middle America (much as a single infiltrator is far more dangerous than a single front-line soldier). But, anyway, the point is moot -- after that ad (combined with the rest of Northam's campaign, and Gillespie tack away from the establishment), there was no way in the world I wasn't going to vote.
