Get Out And Vote!

[Tick]

or I don't want to hear you bitch and moan if your candidate lost.

VOTE!

[rumborak]

How exciting, it's gonna be my first vote as a citizen!

Congrats, Rummy!

[PlaysLikeMyung]

I voted.

For Governor I voted Dan Onorato and for Senate I voted for Joe Sestak

Both of whom are losing at the moment, but there's still plenty of time left

Thankfully, Christine O'Donnell is losing by a sizable margin

[Seventh Son]

I'm too cynical to vote because all the candidates suck.

No way in hell am I going to vote for the tea party.

[PlaysLikeMyung]

That's not a good reason to not vote.

I don't particularly like any of the candidates either, but some are better than others

So I vote for someone who will rape me the least painfully?

[PlaysLikeMyung]

You think all of them are going to rape you?

You're more cynical than I thought

[ResultsMayVary]

I voted.

I'll share a few of my decisions (Ohio):

Governor - John Kasich (R)
Senator - Rob Portman (R)
Attorney General - Richard Cordray (D)

I was the third one to vote this morning right after the polling station opened. 6:30am start was brutal.

  Rumby.

I am voting when I get out of work.

That's what I think of politics in general.

Last month I tried looking up the policies of each candidate but all I got were obviously biased and partisan articles for each one, so there was nothing I could trust to really find out where any of them stand.

[El Barto]

Even if I didn't think this whole democracy thing was a sham, I still live in Texas, so there's not really any point.  There are a couple of people I'd certainly like to vote against, but they're landslide winners regardless.

Their personal websites are usually good for that. I hate reading CNN.com or whatever for info on candidates

I take it your not Conservative, at all.

Some people would even say my vote counts more because I live in a swing state.

[chknptpie]

Mailed in my ballot last week. My vote wont change much here in Arizona, all the conservative candidates win in this giant red state.

I wouldn't trust a word that comes from their personal websites, if I'm going to be honest.

I'm looking at the two frontrunners for Governor of Georgia and they're both saying pretty much the same thing. Build more jobs, improve the infrastructure of our highways (Something that has been killing this state for a while), all while including mudslinging at each other.

This isn't directed at me, but I figured I'd answer it anyway, No.

I voted.

Same shit, different pile.  I am equally cynical.  You're going to get bent over either way, so might as well go with who your gut says you'd prefer to be bent over by.  I voted this morning, despite the fact that politics is a fucking circus.  I voted merely to cancel out the vote of someone I know.  Someone who chooses to blindly follow the party she's chosen forever, spewing complete lies fairly regularly (based on the media she chooses to listen to), despite our efforts to educate her with facts that we have taken the time to research.  It's damned frustrating, so if I can cancel out her vote, then I have done my duty.

Also, I know people like to say "If you don't vote, you can't complain!".  Actually, yes, I can.  I can bitch about it all day long if I like.  What about kids and non-citizens?  Are they exempt from complaining?  (not directed at you, tick, I just find it amusing when I hear this a lot, every time an election comes up)

Vote Democrat?

[Sir GuitarCozmo]

Sanity, not Hannity.

[ResultsMayVary]

I actually do think I'm one of the few Conservative members on this board. 

This is exciting. lol.

[Philawallafox]

I'm Aussie and live in a cave. Which election is this?

[PlaysLikeMyung]

Sanity, not Hannity.

lol

So I'm gonna do what I always do on erection day: sit in front of the computer and follow the polls all day long.


O'Donnell is trailing Coons in Delaware by a considerable margin

Its no different than voting Republican, just a different way to get fucked.

Really?  I always got the impression this place was loaded with them.

Yeah this. If you meant republicans then no, there aren't many but there are a number of Conservatives.

congrats and welcome

[rumborak]

Regarding getting good information about the candidates, here in MA the online version of the Boston Globe had a very good section on them. A fixed number of issues that each submitted an entry to.

What in the world would ever give you that idea? I see zero evidence of that?

but politics do not shape or mold my opinion of someone. I know it does for some people.
