Do me a favor, please?

Well, I'll turn it into a political harangue.

If you live in Delaware, vote for my father (http://www.leedelaware.com) for Governor.

Nader was the FU vote in 2000.

If Gore could have won his own home state it wouldn't have been an issue. Blaming Nader for 2000 is a cop-out. The true crime of 2000 was the Florida debacle.

Voting is definitely worth the turnout, although I feel the system we're using is a bit unbalanced and we should go to a pure popular vote, since that ensures the people select the President it's worth your time.

If you're a democrat, don't kill us again by voting for Nader!

The reason we don't do a popular vote though because whole sections of the nation wouldn't be represented. We do electoral college because states like Rhode Island and Maine deserve to be counted just as much as New York, Texas and California.

some helpful hints from an email I got:

Bring a picture ID. Many states have new identification requirements this year, so play it safe by bringing your drivers license or other official ID if at all possible.

Go to the correct polling place. Many polling places have changed since the last election, and in some states, your provisional ballot will not be counted if you go to the wrong polling place. So check your polling place ahead of time by calling your local election office or reviewing your sample ballot.

Call 1-866-OUR VOTE if you experience or witness a voting emergency. Lawyers will be standing by to provide free, immediate, on-the-spot assistance.

Remember, you have the right to vote if you are in line before the polls close -- no matter how long it takes. There has never been a more important time to make sure that you vote and that your vote is counted.

Sincerely,

Michael Kieschnick
President

I think there is some referendum in Colorado that is being voted and would take effect with this election where the electoral votes wouldn't be winner take all. So basically the the winner of that state would take 5 of the 9 electoral votes. What do you guys think of that idea? Had it been in effect last time Gore would have won.

Homer: "I don't agree with his Bart-killing policy, but I do approve of his Selma-killing policy" Sideshow Bob for President!

why vote when it's between a giant douche and a turd sandwich???
anyone see that south park? haha... 2 poor canidates in my mind. but you guys should all vote sure.

And on top of that, the people are even supposed to be electing the President at all. That's the states' job. Read the Federalist papers.

Just go out & vote. Every vote counts.

End of discussion! jk

i already sent in my absentee vote

Wouldn't this be something:

Q: What if both the electoral vote for president and vice president are tied at 269?

A: The House would choose the president and the Senate would choose the vice president. In the Senate each senator would have one vote. So it is possible that if there were a Democratic-controlled Senate, it would pick John Edwards as vice president, even if the House picked George Bush as president.
