Election Day, Who's Voting

[mussa]

I don't know if it is just me or what, but I can't get into voting for other positions in gov't other than the president. I think it has to do mainly with the fact that I don't know where to gather credible info on the canidates or un-biased reports on where they stand.

All you see is sleazy commercials that may or may not be true. I can't vote based on this alone, but I want to vote next week. I'd rather not vote than vote blindly.  I don't vote all republican or all democrat because thats foolish IMO. So my question is where do I look for credible info on these canidates? Anyone have any good un-biased links?

Thats how I used to feel, and I think a good number of people feel this way too.

Pretty important vote here in VA with Webb vs. Allen in a close race.  I'm not sure I really like either candidate but I will go out and vote.  It is an honor and a privilege as a U.S. citizen.  Here is the latest incident with Allen:

November 7th is my birthday, and my college classes are closed due to my college being a voting location.


That'll be about it for me on election day.

I always vote.  Well, almost always.  Once in a while I miss the smallest elections, for local council seats, etc.  But I'm generally pretty good about it.

Used to be people said their vote didn't really count.  Now, there's good reason to think it won't be counted.

So maybe it's foolish to bother, but I vote anyway.

We have a governor race and a senatorial race.

Governor race:

Charlie Crist (R) - Our current Attorney General
Jim Davis (D) - Currently a member of the House

Senator race:
Bill Nelson (D) - Incumbent
Katherine Harris (R) - You may remember her as the Supervisor of Elections in the 2000 Presidental Election debacle.

harris dead...thats not a race

the gubernotorial race in fla is hot tho

Crist is going to wipe the floor with Jim Davis.  Sad because Crist is a dipshtein.

The smear campaign being waged by Crist against Davis is monumentally wretched.  Of course, Floridians are morons for the most part, and it's been very effective as a result.

On the other hand, Bill Nelson is going to beat Katherine Harris by 20 points because Katherine Harris is a religious fruitcake bimbo nitwit.  The polls open at 7:00 AM on Tuesday.  If she had a shred of common sense, she'd concede the election @ 7:01 AM.

threw in a special teams vote for Mahe.

As soon as I can tell the difference between the parties and their representatives i'll consider voting. until then I'll fantasize about living in a country where I can own guns and make money and smoke some squeef without being farging bothered about it.
