I really wish all primaries were the same day

Because for those of us who vote later in the season, Fayette County Clerk >election results can be pretty pathetic. Only 14% of eligible voters in my county even bothered, which sadly was pretty good given the races available.

I was glad to see Kucinich get 7% of the vote. He would have had one more voter, but a friend was stopped after she cast her vote by the election officer and told that she could, as a Democrat, only vote for Kerry. Apparently someone miscommunicated, since Kucinich is, indeed, a Dem and you could vote for anyone regardless of whether he was still in the race--which Kucinich is. She's going to complain to the county clerk's office about it.
