It is also the type of thing that tends to divide folks due to the emotional/personal nature of politics. However it is quite appropriate to encourage everyone eligible to vote to do so.

I live in L.A. and I have NEVER seen so many people in line at polling places. Reportedly 14% of registered voters in L.A. county voted early. Thats about 1/3 of what a typical total turnout has been in the past. This election has been so charged, that it appears we may set some records for voter turnout. Am I excited, am I nervous? you betcha! Oh yeah, who am I voting for? The next president!

(Nah, maybe just the once). I am a dirty commie pinko leftist (sorry mods if this goes too far), but I want a democracy where everyone participates. I sincerely hope that everyone votes who is eligible, regardless of their political affiliation. I truly believe everyone is working for what we perceive as the greater good, even if we differ on the methodology.

Things in this country have slipped so far that I decided I have to start helping as best I can. However, when I looked over the candidates for President and saw Ralph Nader on it, I went against the strong impulse to put my mark next to his name. I let the logic of my vote counting for nothing by voting on someone who could not win, get cast for the person I figured was the lesser of two evils. My apologies Ralph. Next time my vote is definitely yours, though I again will know you can never win . . . Go Ralph! Actually, I find politics more boring (And by far more disjusting!) that watching my front lawn grow. elwoodblue Senior Member Username: elwoodblue Post Number: 588 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 04, 2008 - 5:34 pm:    Ralph is the man, I owe him an apology too. He should be a cabinet member in the least. (Thanks for the seat belts and everything else) davr35 Member Username: davr35 Post Number: 72 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 04, 2008 - 5:47 pm:    I wrote in my cat Bob's name hydrargyrum Advanced Member Username: hydrargyrum Post Number: 393 Registered: 3-2004 Posted on Tuesday, November 04, 2008 - 7:15 pm:    I voted for Ralph in 2000. I still think he should be in government. poor_nigel Senior Member Username: poor_nigel Post Number: 595 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 04, 2008 - 7:26 pm:    Let's see . . .
