MY BALLOT HAS BEEN CAST
it is fun to live in a closely contested district
Who did Kuya vote for? lol
FiveThirtyEight shows that it's more likely than not that the Republicans are going to win the House. I really want to see how legislation will work in the coming two years now.
Yea they've been predicted to win the House for a while now. I actually expect more to get done in the next 2 years, being in the minority for the past 2 years in both the Senate and the House has allowed the republicans to just say no to everything, but along with control of the House (and possibly the Senate) they are going to have the responsibility to get things done, or else they're not going to have anything to show voters in 2012 and will lose the presidential election. I expect the whole "no compromise" thing John Boehner/Mike Pence have been going on about will vanish pretty quickly, since they'll no longer be able to claim their sole job is to stop Nancy Pelosi if they're the ones actually holding the reins.
Well I finished voting, first time using that new system they got in NY(they apparently used it for the Primaries I think but I didnt go). Honestly not that bad, much prefer it to the old shit that looks older than my parents. One thing that I wasn't sure about is the lady handing us the ballots said we couldn't cross lines, meaning if we voted Democrat in 1 part we had to vote Democrat the rest of the section. Which didn't bother me since that's how I was planning on voting anyway, but seems a little unfair to tell that to people. Then again this is politics so I don't expect fair play.
not necessarily, I mean one reason every single negative campaign ad focuses on Nancy Pelosi is because she's the one who got everything done in Washington for the dems. When Boehner or whoever is Speaker of the House they are going to have make an effort at least, if they keep sending ridiculous bills to the Senate they're going to spend huge amounts of political capitol and Dems will be able to paint them as a do-nothing, extremist congress.
I agree that it's possible that nothing will get done, but Republicans are skilled enough at playing politics to know they have to show some sort of results because in the end, 2012 is going to be just as much about job creation and economic growth as 2010 is.
Can't believe nobody has posted this yet.
Can't wait until the new round of judges roll out; elected through this corporate funding free-for-all. Then shit really gets ugly.
George Carlin inspired me to vote with this bit. My "duty" now is to go to the polling place, check myself in, and at that point, I've voted. I can take my blank form, leave it blank, toss it in the machine, and get my sticker.
Granted, I do read the information beforehand, I try to educate myself so that I can actually vote, but at the end of the day, I leave shit blank if I don't have a good reason to do otherwise.
gonna hand in my "legalize marijuana" vote in a few (and of course other votes). Time to get cali to get some good money off that shit.
This nyuka voted. Should get more than a sticker, though. Give out free coupons for the mcrib or something!
