The tech vote
I just voted in, then viewed current results for, an online primary at TechCrunch.
Can we just limit the voting this year to the tech-minded? (I'm kidding, of course.)
But check it out:
Democrats: Barack Obama and Dennis Kucinich at 46% and 31%, respectively; everyone else in single digits
Republicans: Ron Paul running away with the thing at 72%, John McCain a distant second at 16%, everyone else in single digits
And here's my problem. I could probably be reasoned with to accept the election of any one of the four names above, and especially the top vote-getter in each; while mention of the rest of the field elicits yawns, curses, or just plain old retching.
I repeat: Can we just limit the voting this year to the tech-minded? (I repeat: I'm kidding, of course.)
Also, in case you're wondering: yes, I know about internet voting. But that applies to exact numbers, while the general trends are still pretty obvious, even accounting for so-called "Paulbots."
