Space Pup Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Same here, voted this morning and then went to work. I will stop by the liquor store on the way home...either way I'll need a drink. If you don't vote, don't complain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modac Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Polls were surprisingly quiet in SE Massachusetts earlier today. I was in and out in 2 minutes....not even enough time for the new strings on my 00-18v to stretch out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Maybe people on both sides are believing the polls and don't think their one little vote matters. Of course, if we're lucky, our political process will evolve to the point where we don't even need polls. Just let the media decide who should be Prez.

They already think they control the process. My polling place was unusually busy this a.m. There's usually 2 people voting when I'm in there. By my count there were 4 people in booths and one checking in when I got there... that makes 6 including myself. If it weren't for the 8 election judges takin' all the close parking spaces I wouldn't have had to walk the whole half a block to the front door.

Space Pup Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's hard to trust the media on anything anymore. They tell you that they important breaking news and then spend the next half an hour showing Paris Hilton modeling her new shoe line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosewoody Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 "The media" is pretty broad. Some purportedly news media is just opinionated commentary, a la Olberman and O'Reilly. Some is shallow, like "E." But there is good info on NPR and in much of the print press. Like everything else, caveat emptor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCSC Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 North Carolina has early voting so I took advantage of it about a week ago. I was surprised and pleased at how crowded it was on the day I went. It would be nice to see a record turnout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm going to the polls with my 18 year old daughter. It's her first vote. We've discussed the Presidential election and I've given her my reasons for voting the way I plan to. I hope we won't cancel each other's votes out and I'm quite confident we won't but it's her choice. There are many other items on the ballot and to be completely honest, if I don't have a clear choice I just don't vote on some things. I don't see that as shirking my responsibility, I just want to make an informed decision. Sadly I often vote against one person as opposed to voting FOR someone else.

Rosewoody Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 "Sadly I often vote against one person as opposed to voting FOR someone else." Yeah, me too, and I think that is because we hear candidate X tell us what is wrong with Y's view, rather than what is right with X's. It is so much easier to be against the one thing than to pick out the best course among many alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV-Zeppelin Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Honestly, I don't care who wins... although I would like to see the dead yellow dog elected. John McCain is incompetent and old and Sarah Palin is stupid. Barack Obama will screw Canadians by getting rid of NAFTA and for all I know, Joe Biden could be the next Antichrist. So I'll vote for both of 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorod Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I did the early vote thing last friday in North Carolina. There was a steady trickle of voters. I noticed they were pretty busy this AM and afternoon also. I will try to 'tune out' the rest of the evening as I am SICK of it all. I will leave with these words of wisdom....'The screwin, you get- is the screwin' the majority votes for'! Anyone remember...'Pat Paulsen for president' ?? Also, I don't think Sarah Palin is 'stupid'! She is 'hot' though! Nuff said. RRod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
