Election Tomorrow

[anni]

I’m so excited about the election…This is the first election I have participated in. Not only did I vote in the primary, but I registered and early voted for the first time. It feels like the longest friggin campaign ever and to tell you the truth, I just want it to be over. It will be a relief.

Any other Americans voted yet or are you waiting for tomorrow?

How many days do you have to vote?

We only have one day in the UK.

We have one general election day, which is tomorrow, where we can go to the polling places and cast our votes in the voting booth. This year though they expanded the absentee voting process so people were able to vote early if they didn’t want to go or couldn’t get to the polls on Tuesday.

I’m voting tomorrow in the traditional way. It’s probably a sign that I’m becoming an old fuddy-duddy but I figured there would be some sort of problem with the counting of the early votes since it is new to most people this year.

Obama came with Bruce Springsteen to my city yesterday for a free concert and rally. I went down but the line was so long to get in, the police finally came by and told those of us (literally tens of thousands) in the middle to the end of the line that we’d never get in. Then the Browns (our city’s football team for those of you outside the US, and that’s real football, not soccer 😉 ) game let out and it seems most of 70,000 from that seemed to join the line. I did hear Springsteen playing in the distance, but never did actually see him or Obama.

Maybe if I had let someone know that I was the the Panty King, I would have received VIP status and a police escort to the front of the line? :laugh: :laugh:

I’m hoping it all goes smoothly, with minimal funny stuff. Last time I voted (also the first time, actually)was in 2000… some may remember how that turned out :bf.

That said… hell yeah I’m voting!

I’ll be at the polls just like PK! ( so relax guy,your not becoming an old fuddy-duddy all by yourself in that ) 😛
Hope for the best as alot is at steak this time around! :y32b4:

I tried to see Obama in Seattle last…February…I think. It was the same story there, I wasn’t sure about him at the time and really wanted to hear him talk, but sadly so did a zillion other people.

Sasha, I seriously cried in 2000, I couldn’t vote but it was heartbreaking anyway. Ha, I cried again in 2004. Tears in vain.

PK, I would have loved to see a picture of the boss AND the king, panty king that is. 😉

I hope you Americans realise how important it is that you all vote. You can not foist another idiot on the rest of the world again.

Dubya x2 – what WERE you thinking??? :ohmy:

PS American football my arse. You’re the only country to wear excessive protection when playing sport. Haven’t you seen rugby and Australian rules football? Them’s MEN’s games. Blood, bruises and broken bones is part of the game! :woohoo:

Unfortunately the people that voted for him twice probably aren’t here to read that. Hardly anybody claims to have voted for him, yet he won twice. Go figure.

Good grief! The results there are a landslide. We’ll see tomorrow how the one that counts turns out I guess.

I am waiting for tomorrow. Hopefully it won’t be too much of a madhouse, even though it’s expected to be. I had to register as a Democrat in order to do the primary, which sucks. I missed out. I am truly independent. I like Obama…sort of. But some things about him concern me.

It has indeed been a long campaign, but very interesting to watch on TV. But frankly, going out and standing in line is a bit of a hassle. I should have mailed it in. Up in Oregon, you are required to, I believe.

I am eager to have it end, but also to just have the new term start. The pending timebetween tomorrow and inauguration may be too boring!

Oh god yes, I want the next term to start as soon as possible. I want to get as far away from Bush as I can. Texas is like the laughing stock of the world…or so I hear.

My mom lives in a small town and they are balls over brains for Sarah Palin. Pshh, they don’t even like McCain, just Sarah Palin because “she’s hot and shoots guns”. Grown ass people believe this!

I have to convince my mom every other day that just because she’s surrounded by them doesn’t mean they are the majority. LOL.

This is what scares the most, we’ll never know what happened in Tallahassee .. let’s just hope those events don’t repeat themselves.

May the force be with you all.

I bloody near disenfranchised myself just now. My state ID does have my right apartment number. KInda forgot to get it revised. I phoned up some voting center, though, and the say I am registere, and will be OK. They don’t even check IDs and such.

Whew! My mother, bless her heart, would go into cardiac arrest, kidney failure, and diabetic shock if I didn’t vote.
