On a serious note - yes, thank you for posting a ballot ahead of time. It is very helpful.

I'm for Adams. Hard worker. Sincere. Probably knocked on 5000 doors by now, if not more. Doesn't say much, but a real doer.

Finegold's become a cardboard candidate--stands there, but doesn't stand for much

How is it that I live in the center of town but I have to vote at the Assembly of God church? That makes no sense. Less sense than when they tried having only 2 polling places and put them right next to each other. What a traffic nightmare! I could walk to the senior center or the library. Instead I have to drive about 20 minutes!

Anyone else find it odd that the Republican ballot was blue and the Democrat ballot red?

Why do the taxpayers pay for the primaries? If the Republicans/Democrats/etc cannot decide who to run, they should pay for it. Taxpayers should pay for the general election, because we get to decide who takes office. For the political parties, why should the government support them?

More to the point here is why do there need to be primaries at all (kind of like playoffs in sports), they are very expensive and serve very liitle purpose. If you want to run for office then just do it. If you pass the criteria for getting on the ballot great. Perhaps the biggest issue is whether you declare an alliegence to a specific party. If the ballots were silent on the party, that would be best of all.
