My only Election Musings of the year(ish)

Hey,

OK, so I was going to ask if anyone could point me to a web site that would tell me how my current state rep voted on the whole gay marriage amendment dealie.

I'm still asking for that.

But I realize that, much like my mom, I'm a one-issue voter. I'm sure that in the race for state rep, there's probably a lot of important issues that I should be taking a look at. Alternatively, the politics are so small potatoes it doesn't even matter and one rep is as good as another. But for some reason I'm either going to support or revile the incumbent based on his or her (see? I don't even know that!) stance on a single issue I care a lot about but which, in the larger scheme of things, isn't really what's most relevant (but I'm not even sure if there really are relevant issues).

Grm.
Tom

Seriously?

At a state level I mean. There are certainly relevant issues at a national level.

I got the voter's guide dealie, but there aren't even any ballot issues as far as I can tell.

I'm sure that there are a number state matters that, if brought together, would form an interesting field on which to compare candidates, but honestly,
I'm just not interested in the research so unless something really pushes to the forefront of local news (like the gay marriage bickering) I don't even notice it.

Oh, ok. Gotcha.

There is the Nantucket wind farm... it'd be great to actually have non-oil-dependent energy production for our state, but the rich folk of Nantucket don't want to see a fan way, way out on their ocean view horizon...
