For everyone on this board, let's start Monday by going to vote early...don't procrastinate! Then gently nudge those who are voting for Bush...there are a lot of people that say I am going to vote and they wind up putting it off and then not going. Time to get the ball rolling!

Already sent in my AB. Working in a precinct other than my own election day. Also pushed my neighbor to vote absentee because she was on the fence on whether she'd be out of town on business. 2 votes=GWB.

both my sons have been pro kerry since michael moore's film. Evil or Very Mad I have had to listen to that drivel for so long. Evil or Very Mad But don't give up. I found out last night, both my sons are voting for W b/c mainly b/c of my feelings. Last night I sent the link to Stolen honor to them and talked non stop about it. They can relate b/c one was in koSovo and they both know their father and I have intense feelings about Vietnam.
I wish i was in Ohio/ or a swing state, I would get out and help. I hate sitting here feeling helpless. Being inTexas, W's home state , well, it won't even be close race here. But, we also have the senators to look out for. The texas Democrats made the news last year I believe, by doing a walk out . It all had to do with redistricting. I believe it somehow gave the repbs an advantage. ( or at least that is the dems version) So i voted straight Rep party. Hope to lose some of those Dems.

My husband and I voted yesterday..Two more for W! But he won't have any trouble in Texas! Sounds like those poor people in Florida (Drudge)are having major voter intimidation from Rabid Dems. Where are OUR 10,000 lawyers???

I know exactly what you mean. I'm in Georgia which has suddenly fallen in love with the Republican party (even before Zell). It will be a large W win and the Senator's race, the same way. The only loss is the Democratic candidate for Senate is the same one who defeated Cynthia McKinney in 2002. For the life of me, I can't figure out why she decided to give up that position and give it back to Cynthia (as Boortz calls her "the cutest little Communist in Washington). She never even had a SMALL hope of winning. So we'll be getting Cynthia back, trading one Democrat for a Communist. Watch for her on the aise of every State of the Union, Aisle Bird as we call her here.

If there is anyone reading this from Georgia, I would like some clear explanation of the constitutional ammendment on the ballot about the Supreme Court of Georgia and courts from other states or the federal government. We need to help our daughter with her absentee ballot and get it to her to sign in time to get back and be counted.

I went to vote on Wednesday wearing a President Bush T-shirt.

I was told to go home to change or turn the T-shirt upside down. That is the law.

I did neither, I just take off my T-shirt. Some voters were very happy and some just mad as hell.

Kerry is right, there is 2 America: one the communist pigs, the other is the rest of us.

Minnesota doesn't have early voting, but I will be there on Nov. 2. You can't wear anything that is directly campaigning for anyone, but as I have posted before, I am going to the polls in my loudest pair of flip flops and just walk around for a while. I sure hope it doesn't snow that day.

I have a good feeling about Minnesota. This may be BC04 own little internal suprise. Soros and DNC didnt put as much voter registration effort into MN because they though it was a lock. Plus the lack of early voting I think helps. Its trending Bush and there is popular Democratic mayor of one of the twin cities that endorsed Bush. I hope you Minnesotans are working hard.

Voted today. The touch screen computers allow the voter to vote for one candidate and then change the vote by selecting another candidate. So I actually voted for Kerry before I voted for Bush.

I hope there are a lot more like that. cause it's what i did too. Smile A lot of Texans never really knew how much damage those stunts did. Although they left over redistricting, there were a lot of other votes and funding that did not happen.
The left home health care underfunded and lots of folks in that field lost jobs. A lot of folks that needed home healthcare are suffering now, also.
I'll never vote for another dem after the damage and suffering they caused.
