Election is tomorrow: Drink early and vote often.


There's an Indiana primary election tomorrow, and the single most important point that voters absolutely must remember is this: Bars and liquor stores no longer are required to delay opening until the polls close.

 The Floyd County Clerk provides a glance at the ballots:

2012 Primary Election Ballot Sample - Democrat

2012 Primary Election Ballot Sample - Republican

Preview, Part 1: If you toil and scroll long enough with this link, you can find the individual candidate "Q and A" at the News and Tribune's web site. As scattered amid other election-related articles, it's confusing, and there seems to be no clear, unified link with all of them in one place. If there is, it's mighty hard to find amid the usual panoply of pop-ups and roll-overs.

Preview Part 2: In the dead of night, I sneaked over to the Kitchen Table Issues blog and perhaps surprisingly, saw quite a lot with which I can agree (example below), even if the comments remain 100% anonymous and are often semi-literate:

2012 POLITICAL CANDIDATES


(D) Ted Heavrin - NO - I haven't liked your attitude the past couple of years, Ted. When they interviewed you in the Tribune about the new law going into effect where you would not be able to serve in office because you are a police officer I felt you came across as feeling you were "owed". "You would retire in order to remain in office." You were heavy handed with Warren Nash in what some have described as an abuse of your power as a police officer and that the actions taken by you were unnecessary and arbitrary in nature. Your attitude on the Parks isn't right, either. Sorry.
