Re: The Official ANA Election Endorsement Thread™
Probably, everyone has voted by now. But I'll just post my opinions which were based ONLY on the voter information supplied with the ballot, and a few strong opinions on my part. I don't know any of the candidates. Never talked to any of them with one exception: Kagin talked me into joining the ANA again a couple years ago… -

So i opened the holder, got out the compressed air, and tried to gently remove these. They didn't go anywhere. It ain't lint. Are these the infamous "milk spots" or something completely… -
