| | as you may know, i've posted about ads here over and over again, as they've been an area of interest to me. the super bowl has quite a bit of hits and misses, usually leaning on the side of the misses with ads on shaky foundations of bodily functions humor, but this is probably my favorite among the super bowl ads this year - an ad by coca-cola. incidentally, this other ad also by coca-cola is particularly sweet (particularly during primaries season), and i'm not just talking about the artificial sweeteners.
(alternatives in case the links break: coca-cola parade and jinxed)
speaking of primary elections, if you're a nonpartisan (no party) registrant in california, you can in fact request an independent or democratic party ballot to participate in the primaries without altering your no party status. (i believe the republican party does not offer this option in california - it varies from state to state.) given that the day after tomorrow is super tuesday, the date of california's primaries, it's too late if you haven't requested one by mail already. but i figured i should clear this up for the future, as people seem to generally hold this misunderstanding that the primaries still restrict participation by party affiliation.
edit: i should clarify. i meant that it's too late for the mail-in absentee method, but the other ballots can always be requested on the spot at the polling locations. and yes, you can drop your absentee ballot in any polling station in your county (and it would not be provisional). and no, if you're registered with, say, the green party, you can't request a democratic ballot, as crossovers are only allowed for the unregistered party folks. |
