(beta) Sat, 19 Aug 2006 00:09:27 +0000 http://www.blogpi.net/joe-versus-the-volcano#comment-101 <p>[...] As an activist, Stoller appears to project his own “hatcheteering” ways onto others, especially political journalists. Oh well. He’s made up his mind on this for sure, but if I’m an unblinking partisan hatcheteer, then he really isn’t reading very closely. Then again, Matt isn’t exactly known for his sense of proportion. And you can tell he hasn’t been reading very carefully in part beause his imprecise writing style implies that the “for instance” relates to me, when in fact he’s linking to Conn’s Wednesday column.

(I was briefly registered in California when I started college at USC, and I cast my vote in the 2000 presidential primary & election in California... but, as a college student, I had the option of registering either my permanent home state or my temporary home state, and I decided to switch back CT after a couple of years in Cali - I just cared more about CT politics, and felt it was really my "home." I stayed a CT voter until it would no longer have been legitimate for me to do so, as when I started law school CT ceased to be my "permanent" home in any meaningful way... so by the time November '04 rolled around, I was an Indiana voter (I'm a law student at Notre Dame). However, I did vote in the Connecticut presidential primary (absentee) in '04. Much to my retrospective chagrin, I voted for Edwards, not Lieberman; Joe had dropped out of the race by that point, and I wanted to cast a vote for "anybody but Kerry" -- I wish now that I had voted for Lieberman, even though he had dropped out, because he was still the ballot, and I would have been proud to be able to say "I voted for Joe Lieberman for president." Oh well.</p> Actually, I was registered to vote in Connecticut during the 1999 fall elections and again from summer 2001 until fall 2004.
