Primaries

Last year, I introduced you to Goodspaceguy, who was running for King County Executive. This year, he's running for Washington State US Senator. The results will still trickle in over the next week or so (King County, a big one in WA votes by mail only), but he already has more than 3,000 votes.

More surprising, however, is Mike The Mover. Seriously. Click that link. I cannot figure out what is up with that guy. For example, in his essay(?) "Letters from Fort Condom" on his campaign site, he writes,
TWO DAYS LATER: TV TALKIN’ “TO ME”: What do you think of the health insurance bill?
MTM: Health insurance? I can barely afford auto insurance. What are you talking about?
TV: “Are you on food stamps? Do you need government coupons?”
MTM: Sign me up!
TV SCAM ARTIST: “Do you need government assistance, in the form of a pay day loan?”
MTM: Leave me alone.
PHONE SOLICITOR: “I’m sure we can’t help you. This is a recorded message.”

If you can make sense of this. Please, please tell me.

PS, this guy currently has more votes than Goodspaceguy, at over 4,000. Good thing only two people advance to the run-offs?
