I wasn't even aware that Roseanne Barr was running as a third-party candidate for anything ...

Ah well. I'm voting solidly Democratic this year, and giving thanks that Senator Cardin shifted gears on the PROTECT IP Act - while he's still a co-sponsor, he's using his co-sponsorship to help revise the bill and said he wouldn't vote for it in its (as of then) "current" form.

... not that I would've voted for a Republican senator, but I sure as hell would have been voting against Cardin in the primary if he hadn't listened to the constituents' outcry.
