Subject: RE: BS: Primaries
A rather charming anecdote about the primaries from columnist Armando Ianiucci in the Observer today:

"Final confirmation last week that Everything's Just Rubbish came from what everyone told me was the highly efficient Clinton campaign machine. Polls are about to take place in Virginia and Maryland, so her campaign team arranged for automatic telephone calls to every voter containing a message from her beginning 'Hi, Maryland' or 'Hi, Virginia' and urging them to get out and vote. Unfortunately, someone pressed the wrong button and every elector in Virginia got 'Hi, Maryland' and every Marylander got 'Hi, Virginia'.
