30 days isn't it ?

I agree Snorpus. Obama's campaign is pointless in WV now. Even if he wins the nomination. He will not win WV. His raidical supporters' comments bashing WV nipped him in the bud. I'll write Hillary in if she doesn't win the nomination.

They didn't let me vote because I was registered "no party" rather than independent. A pity, Coach Stewart needs my vote. I did get to vote for the Board of Education though. And vote I did!!!

No ID needed. Everyone knows me there. The workers have been my neighbors for 25 years.

The only thing I needed my register card for was to figure which district I belonged to. Seems the voting place changed, had to drive to a church where more than one district was voting.
WVPharm you had the option today to vote for either repub or dem primary, but you had to request it specially from the poll worker. They don't offer because it would imply soliciting. The woman in front of me was non affiliated and voted dem tickets.

Dem ballots are so odd. I started getting confused because the town/counties were attached to the names, and I thought I could only cast votes for kanawha region. Doesn't seem relevant to the jobs in question where someone lives. Almost makes me wonder if people root for their hometowns, or refuse to vote for someone from a town they got a ticket.
I might start a personal policy never to vote for anyone with their nickname in parenthesis on a ballot, like "spike" "flood" or john "pumpkinhead" doe. Sounds more like betting on WWF match than an election for civil servitude. Did your mamma give you that name? So there's my prejudice. I don't care who knows.

When blacks vote for a black it is not racism. Racism is when a white votes for a white when they could have voted for a black. It shows how many people in the U S are anti American. They prefer to have a first couple in the White House who hate America

Frankly I find it pathetic that so many Obama fans claim to be "open minded" and then trash middle America with stereotypes. Talk about hypocrisy!

Care to clarify that?

Just how does anyone currently running and gunning in this race 'hate' America?

As a registered Republican, my card was essentially blank, lol.

At least in the EP I had some choices
