Not Being Registered to Vote Is Malarkey
Literally Malarkey. So says the folks from MotivationalBiden.com (it’s a Facebook page) to remind people that today is National Voter Registration Day. Most of the folks who read this are registered to vote, but it is worth it to ask around your family and friends to make sure that folks are signed up to participate in their Government. You can check here for the status of your registration. Click here to go to the State’s Department of Elections to sign up.
Tell them Joe Biden sent you.
ps. And do LIKE Motivational Biden on Facebook. It is hilarious — starting with the fact that it advertises itself as a Health/Wellness site.

I have no problem at all with Democrats choosing not to vote! 🙂
However, I look at it somewhat differently: if someone chooses not to vote, he is, in effect, saying that he is happy with whatever choices the people who do vote take. That’s fine with me, but if you don’t vote, I don’t think you have much to complain about when elected officials don’t do what you think they should do.
Also, being registered in Delaware as something other than a Democrat is like not being registered at all since all the important stuff happens during the Dem primary.

Mike Castle could not be reached for comment.
Chris Coons says Thumbs Up!
Actually, Jason’s comment is reminiscent of what kept the South Democratic for so long. In the very first election in which I could vote, a primary for city council in 1971, I had no vote, because the only people who filed to run were Democrats. That kind of system kept conservative Democrats in power in the South long after Southerners started voting Republican in federal elections.

Which is the fault of the Republicans who didn’t run anybody.
And the same is true here — if the GOP wants to play, they need get some players at the table.
The Castle primary loss to O’Donnell short-circuited what would have been the last big two party race. But the fact that Castle lost was related to the state becoming uniformly blue – so, 6 of one half dozen of the other.
