DarkSyde has a front pager right now that asks the question, "Where Have All the Good Trolls Gone?"

Well, I have a better question ~ "Where Have All the Good Bloggers Gone"?

And part of the answer is ~ here, of course!

At least seven diaries on the Recommended Diaries list right now are Obama diaries. That says a lot about the support he has here.

So, why am I not reading and commenting in them?

I just can't do it. You see, I'm planning to vote for John Edwards on March 4th in the Texas primary. Based on everything I've read and heard, I'm expecting that a lot of people will also be voting for him this Super Tuesday, February 5th. Don't worry. I believe I'm fairly grounded in the wonderful world of reality and I certainly realize that lots of things can change between now and March 4th. I'll definitely vote for him no matter what that reality is though. I can't change the fact that I'm a very loyal person.

In the meantime, tonight, I'm mostly mourning the loss of the Edwards community on Daily Kos.

Texas Attorney General, Greg Abbott, is concerned about voting fraud here in Texas. Hooray!! That's commendable, isn't it?  Everyone knows electronic voting machines are trouble.

However, that's not Greg Abbott's concern.  Instead, he's worried about all that voting fraud that's apparently being perpetrated in the mail-in ballot procedures ~ on elderly and minority voters.  So, to combat this problem, he's aggressively going after all those elderly and minority criminals who are helping their peers vote.

The fact that they are all Democrats ~ well, welcome to Abbottland.  

As of yesterday, the Texas Democratic Party is fighting back...in Federal Court.
