Election day in Massachusetts may be a bit boring. There are no Senate seats up for grabs and the Governor does not run for re-election for another 2 years. We do have 10 Congressional Districts but because Massachusetts is such a heavily Democratic state - there will probably be very little in the way of surprises.

John Kerry is expected to carry Massachusetts easily and the only drama may be in how close the Bush / Cheney ticket can make it. Massachusetts has about 4,100,000 registered voters and the Democrats outnumber the Republicans by and almost 3-1 ratio (1,526,711 to 532,319). Interestingly - over 2 million have registered as Independent (full disclosure - that would be me too).

Here is a copy of what my ballot will look like in the morning.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
