election fright

I'm presently examining my Washington State primary ballot. Here are the Democratic choices for U.S. Senator, verbatim:

Michael Goodspaceguy Nelson
Mike the Mover
Mohammad Said
Hong Tran
Maria Cantwell

Do I really need to break down why this will be a Cantwell landslide? Kudos, though, to Said for actually making me google "Mohammad said" and to Nelson for having the flakiest web site of this election season.

I do rather enjoy pronouncing the Republican candidates' names. Try a posh English accent with

William Chovil
Gordon Pross
Warren Hanson
Thurston Howell III

Okay, I might have made the last one up.

I hate this state's policy limiting you to voting for only one party. But I want to vote against them all!
