Lunar Eclipse Tonight

If the weather clears up, you'll be able to see a total lunar eclipse tonight between 7pm and 8pm. The next total eclipse won't be until December 2010, so I'm hoping this one is visible.

Vote tomorrow!

Unless you've been living under a rock - and receive no mail and no landline photo - you know that tomorrow is Super Tuesday. No, it has nothing to do with football - it's primary day here in California.

If you are voting on the Democrat ballot, the sad news is that your vote isn't likely to count for much, unless Clinton or Obama are ahead by a landslide. Unlikely - current polls have them running neck and neck. The problem is that our district has an even number of delegates, and in a close vote they will be split evenly. Slate explains in more detail.

If you are voting on the Republican ballot, the situation is a little different. The Republican primary is "winner take all by congressional district". The three delegates from our district will only go to one candidate. Current polls give McCain a slight edge over Romney, with Huckabee and Paul trailing far behind.

But it's not just the primaries, of course. There are ballot initiatives to vote on, including a new term limit proposal, and the gaming compacts with the Morongo, Agua Caliente, Pechanga and Sycuan tribes.

I'm not going to tell you how I've voting, or how you should vote, except to say that you should. My feeling is that if you don't vote, you have no right to complain about the government or our representatives. It's not only a right, it's your duty as a citizen.

Some helpful links:

• Register to vote - it's too late to register to vote tomorrow, but you can still register for the general election.
  
• Official California Voter Information Guide (with candidate statements and bipartisan information on the initiatives) and Supplemental Official Voter Information Guide
  
• San Bernardino County Polling Place Lookup (i.e., find out where to vote)
  
• San Bernardino County's Election Results (updates begin 2/5 at 8:30PM)
• California Election Results (not clear when posted)
• CNN's Super Tuesday coverage
• Get involved: Yucaipa-Calimesa Democratic Club, San Bernardino County Republican Party

Update: Here are the latest delegate counts (they update automatically)
