Message 826216 - Posted: 2 Nov 2008, 19:42:28 UTC

So who are ya gonna vote for?

I WILL vote, to do otherwise would be lame.

But I must confess, that even this close to the day, I cannot seem to make my mind up......Bama Or Pain?????

It just does not seem to be a clear choice........
And I think the choice is made a little more difficult due to the fact that I truly belive that should Obama be elected, he will suffer JFK's fate......so that leaves us with you know who.........

What to do?

Everyone has to vote.

I had my election today as well, and my vote was: YES

(But this was only a small (but important) local election.


If i am an American citizen, i would vote for Obama. But he is not my first choice. It was Hillary, but she is out of the race now.

I'm happy that I don't live over there and had to vote in your system. I would have a hard time by voting on each of the candidates.

I'm used to our voting system [1], and since we have a monarchy, we don't have to elect the king or queen, as long as they, the royals, reproduce we will have candidates to the throne. Even if we should run out of them, I'm sure there will be some candidates available from one of the other European royal houses. They are all related somehow.

It's hard to say who will be the best president over there, McCain or Obama, they, the presidents of the US of A, often digress very far from what they were elected on during their time of presidency. A lot of things can happen.

I'm on permanent absentee ballot. I've already voted for McCain. However that being said I would have much rather preferred Huckabee as his VP choice; that would have solidified the Christian vote and the southern states.

Already did early voting. Obama for President and McCrory (Republican) for Governor. I also voted for the Republican for State Senate (open seat) and the Democrat for State House (incumbent).

Regional Races
Voted Eric Massa to finally extract Randy Kuhl from his throne as our Congressman
Tom Hasman over County Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo (she lets Social Security #'s show up on our county's website and knows how to remove them but hasn't done it)

After witnessing Obama exhibiting such bravery in spite of this commonly held belief...I think you should reward him with your vote.

It's a tough decision........
I was always a staunch Republican......but I am sooooooooooooooooo disenchanted with what Bush has done with his mandate.....I voted for him the first time, but not the second term.

And the really sad part is......as Fuzzy stated......no matter what politicians proclaim whist they are stumping for your vote, what they actually do once elected is a far cry from the platitudes they proffer while campaigning....

. . . btw - 'Straight Party Voting' is being Reported in the News as 'having a nuance'

and that NUANCE is that the President is NOT being shown / decided on the Straight Party Vote Ticket

< ps - heard it on three different Networks Today . . .

@ Mark - the Republican Party (or, MORE specifically Bush) has "nothing" to do with McCain - listen to what 'he's saying' [re: to McCain] - NOT what Media is paraphrasing . . . just a Suggestion ;)

I heard from somebody who knows somebody who said he heard that Misfit pals around with a driver who changes lanes without using turn signals.

Give someone new a chance. We know what McCain will do. And we know what Obama will do. The GOP has been in control for 8 years and you see where we are at now. Give the other side a turn at the table. Thats my take on it at least.
