Politics and religion.

Well this may be probably a little off the subject, but I just had lunch with an old friend. She said there is no one running that is worth voting for. Amazingly enough, that is how most of my co-workers feel and many acquaintances. To me we are living in the scariest time of our lives with so much unrest all over the globe and horrible financial issues everywhere you look, and these are the people we have to choose from to solve all of this? It makes me ill. I don't know where they are getting the info on polls as to how Obama would do versus McCain or Clinton versus McCain as many people seem to be expressing the same thoughts as what I am hearing. I think it will be an *eenie meanie miney mo* thing in the voting booth with a lot of people.

I live in Michigan, and the early primary fiasco was helped along by Debbie Dingell, wife of Congressman John Dingell. She wanted to do a favor for her friend, HRC.

We all knew, long before the primary date, that the Democratic delegates wouldn't be seated, and none of the Democrats campaigned here.

They made their bed; they can suffer the consequences.

I didn't vote for one simple reason. When you went to the polls that day, you had to state a party preference. That has NEVER happened before, in this state. Then the respective lists of Republicans and Democrats would be sent to the National parties - and they could harass us to their hearts content.

I get enough junk mail and robo-calls without adding more.

They do the same thing here. They need to know which ballot to give you.

Anyone who was involved in the Michigan/Florida mess sure didn't do
HRC any favors. She was heavly favored in both states.

In past primaries, we received just one ballot. But we are told that we can only vote for one party, in the primary, or our ballot will be invalidated. This was totally different, and if it continues, I will no longer vote in primaries.

So much for the privacy of the voting booth

I'm an Independent and my caller ID about explodes from "un named" calls now. Seems the Independents are really popular this voting season.

It was that way years ago here, but you could then, right after you voted, visit another table of election volunteers and change your status back to "unenrolled." Maybe something to check into for next election time for you.

Thanks, I'll check into that here. The only thing I worry about is that the original list will be sent off without updating.

If we're really lucky, they won't use that format here again.

One other thing, that having to declare your party, and the lists being sent to the 2 major parties - the ACLU sued the state about that. No, they didn't want it to go away; they sued so that every minor party would also get copies. Some days you simply can't win.

I have to giggle about the stupid statements that the "next presidents" are making.

I guess you are as good as your next "story".

I'd remember getting shot at! So, we can get on HRC for that bobble.


BO can claim some kind of ignorance-57 by last count-of the story about his uncle. He wasn't there and six months is a long time to spend in an attic.

Funny, how the story comes out a few days AFTER the polls show BO behind in getting the Jewish voters on his side.

I am expecting the McCain camp to make a statement later on saying that he was the man that the character in Rambo was patterened after.

I know, John Kerry tried it last time.....

LOL! LOL! Oh and don't forget we all wouldn't be here except for Al Gore. Remember, he invented the internet!
