Happy Voting Day!  Illinois is part of Super Tuesday, but you wouldn't know it around here.  I suppose the conventional wisdom is that the state will go to its hometown Senator, Barack Obama, so we've had very little campaign advertising.  I guess I shouldn't complain!

This primary marks the 20th anniversary of the first time that I voted in a primary.  Woo-hoo!  In case you're up for some trivia, I'll tell you the candidate I voted for in the 1988 primary below the fold. . . .

George H. W. Bush.  This was the only time that I have voted in the Republican primary.
