I'm intrigued by the media hoopla regarding "early voting." Here in Idaho, the polls have been open since about September 30 -- and you do NOT have to be out of town or otherwise absent on Election Day to use them.

Of course, Idaho hardly gets the media attention that some place like Florida gets. Of course, if Kerry wins Sun Valley will have wall-to-wall reporters.

Come to think of it, I hope Kerry wins just so we can collect sales taxes from all them reporters.
