Ok, I've read every page here and I have a question (even though I know everyone has promised to go about their business and post some pics of their little sweeties!).

I agree with DDM when she says:
What good does it do to go out and vote if it's not going to count anyway?
This year was my first year voting and for the life of me I can't seem to understand how without all the votes from all the states in how we can say who is president now

Would anyone care to inform me how exactly the electorial votes work?

Oh, and I wanted to add this:
No, I didn't vote for Bush and I agree with Aly when she said:
Now that Bush is officially President, I'm not going to publicly bash him. I'm just hoping and praying for what is best for OUR country
