State Rep. Hubert Vo (D-Houston) has filed legislation to allow a person who will be 18 years old on the date of a general election to vote in the primary election in the same year.

This is a little late coming, but better late than never. I frequently visit J.D. Greear's blog, a pastor in the RDU area. He doesn't know me, but we have many mutual friends, went to the same school, etc. So, I value his opinion. He's a man of God and preaches the truth of God's Word without apology. His thoughts on the election are exactly mine and he can say it way more eloquently than I.

I was surprised today when I scanned some other blogs on agoraphoia and found so much combative language about the election results. A lot of hate speech towards Sarah Palin.

Now, you might expect such th

Mike at Own Your Brand asked how things went for us at the General Election. Not brilliantly in that we did not secure seats, but I think it was important to at least get word out about our party, about the same-again nature of National, which voted for the same bills that people said they hated Labour for, and provide an alternative. It was a pity we faced a media blackout for the most part (for
