Election Day Thread

[Saphirea]

I voted today in VA. Wasn't that long of a process. The 2004 election and the 2000 election took WAY longer in lines compared to this one.

Early exit polls has Obama well in the lead in the popular vote.

Spoiler: show

But that will all change when the white people get out of work.

I'm sure there are plenty of people that will vote for McCain for wrong reasons as well.

Obama is a Terrorist, Muslim, Wants to end Christian Churches, will raise everyones taxes, etc...

Sure. This area is heavy rep. but a lot of people really dont like MC, but like Obama less, and wanted to vote for the other guys, but everyone knows fair well they wont win, so people were advised not to waste their vote, and cast for the lesser of the two evils.

I voted last week during early voting.

I see a lot of people haave several provisions to vote on. Only thing to vote on in Texas (Dallas County) was to authorize Parkland Hospital to spend up to $747 million in county property taxes, about 60 percent of the total cost, to build a larger, more modern hospital.

If approved by voters, the new, larger hospital will open in 2014 and cost about $52.50 more in annual property taxes for owners of a home valued at $150,000. That represents a 13.7 percent increase in the Dallas County Hospital District's tax rate, which has held steady – at 25.4 cents per $100 assessed value – for the past eight years.

Please don't put any stock in exit polls.

[Sythe]

Got my molotov cocktails ready

[Acturus]

Although I do prefer Obama to McCain, I have to wonder sometimes if anyone voted for him for the wrong reasons. lol

Joe the Public has a history of voting for candidates for reasons "other then the issues".

Hell, the last several presidential elections have been marked by people voting not FOR someone, but AGAINST someone else.

could be a reference to the Palin of Monty Python fame..

[thebearofscience]

i'm going to completely ignore all previous posts and say i'm glad it's election day so all the shitheads that don't know jack about the government and its policies can shut the fuck up for at least another two years until campaigning is "big" again run on sentence fuck

[Rakiel]

Just voted, in and out in 15 minutes in western WV.

[Octavious]

I thought this article made sense for some of my reason behind voting for Obama; http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/1103/p09s02-coop.html

I agree with the majority of his political stances, but the article represents the other reasons I would vote for him.

[Khamsin]

Oh im willing to bet that more than 50% of his votes attribute to him being black, that hes 'the cool/hip guy to vote for', or that he's been throwing around the most cash in presidental history to appear on tv and make apperances (the reverse of out of sight, out of mind), and not any of his issues.

If more than 50% of his votes come from people who otherwise would not have voted for the democratic candidate, and only did so this election because of Obama's race, then Obama has already won.

Personally, I believe more people are voting for the party they always vote for, regardless of the fact that one happens to be black this time. The most I can see happening is that more people may vote than in previous years, but those new voters were likely liberals anyway.

[Minions]

Voted, me + 1 person in line... god I love not having early classes today.
