Controversy Over Rhee Now to Include Sex, Congress
Look, I know what you're thinking: just when are Virginians going to be able to wear clothing plastered with Terry McAuliffe, Bob McDonnell, or other state candidates or messages to polls, without the fear of being expelled? When will the brutish reign which condemns them to wear but lackluster cloth ever end? For the love of all things tacky, let them free! Well, my friends to the south, I bring you good news: the Commonwealth now says go for it. [Ed. note: Alas, not until July 1st. Thanks aaronw79!] Virginia had banned wearing campaign-related clothes at polling places as a "political act" last fall, but now obviously wants to free up the market for cheap, iron-on decal shirts. (Now to await the McD/McA paraphernalia cottage industry with baited breath.) D.C.'s ban? Still in effect. Baby steps, I guess.

Uhm... DCist, ya'll may want to do a bit more research on this one. Its true enough that the General Assembly has passed a new law which will drop the ban and allow folks to wear this stuff in the polls, but the law does not come into effect until July 1st.
That means that Tuesday's Primaries will be held under the old rules, like it or not. This one last time, leave the paraphernalia at home.
Also, it's bated breath, not baited. I love you guys, but that particular mistake crops up all too often.
I always bait my breath when I'm fishing for compliments.
