Stephen Barr of the Washington Post looks at the range of voting options open to federal employees in the Washington area, who will vote in presidential primaries on February 12.  There are about half a million active federal employees and hundreds of thousands more military personnel, federal retirees, and citizens who work for private companies that contract with the federal government.  Candidates recognize the importance of this group of voters, who are "voting for their next boss."  Read Barr here.
