I've talked to a number of folks this week who are echoing some of the sentiments mentioned in this article from IndyStar.com about the Land of Indians actually getting to be a player in the selection of the Democratic nominee for President this year. People who I've known for a long time who I KNOW never vote in the primary are checking their voter registrations twice to make sure they are eligible to vote and are practically salivating at the prospect of having their vote count for something.

Save your votes for the Primary fight in May. May the best candidate win the Primary.

Maybe UT will figure out a way to secure the voting machines using some of theri Chubb, Ltd. technologies. Then again, does it really matter when a member of Big Finance (Diebold) gets sold to a member of Big Guns (UT)?
