Election Day, Who's Voting

[Philly_Crew]

once it became clear that allen was a racist he had the election won

Oh please.  I'm hardly an Allen supporter but Webb had no chance until the macaca incident.  According to your theory, Allen shouldn't win because he is jewish.

My buddy is adamant that they should add that option to every ballot for every race.  If it wins, both/all parties must nominate different candidates and have a runoff election.  It sounds phenominal in theory, but either there would be ridiculous amounts of runoff elections or most people would cling to the hope that the giant douche is slightly better than the turd sandwich (or vice versa) and vote for the lesser of two evils anyway.

I voted this morning.  Who knows if my vote will even be counted, but I voted anyway.

Watch "Hacking Democracy" for your answer.

Actually, if everyone votes none of the above then this guy wins.

my theory is that when a white guy is called a racist it brings old white ignorant voters out of the woodwork and they ALL vote as they see it as a sign of the negros taking over the world

and this doesnt even take into account whitey who loves the fact that allen is racist

I'm glad I'm not in Maryland. The election choices there make the Rendell-Swann race look positively boring.

not voting, couldn't find any good material on any of the canidates in PA. What a great system we have in america when all we have to go by to determine who we vote for is sleazy commercials that can't be trusted. Yea AMERICA! farg TEH SISTEM!

The best thing about today is that the goddamn commercials on TV will stop.

Oh, and the repubs will lose control.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I voted, for what it's worth.  We have no Senatorial or Gubernatorial races this go-around, and our congressman (Democrat) has won 2-to-1 even when the anti-Republican feelings weren't so strong.  The only thing really worth voting for was a bond referendum that will free up money to pump into the schools in our county.

That, and I'll stop getting fliers about candidates shoved in/on my mailbox, my garage door, inside my house door, the railing of the steps leading to my door, and my car windshield. This morning when I walked out to my truck to go to class there was a lady putting fliers on my mailbox, I asked her politely if she could remove it and she obliged.

someone put a sign on my lawn, to which i spray painted "Sucks!" on the bottom of it. it was gone the next day.

[SunMo]

don't they have to ask your permission to put a sign in your yard?

Good job.

Some person along my route to work has a HUGE Santorum sign in their front yard. And by huge I mean like 7 feet tall and about 20 feet long.

[Rome]

I can't believe anyone would vote for Rick Santorum.   

I wonder what the breakdown is between rural voters and urban voters where he's concerned?  It's gotta be a massive divide.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

He's still going to lose to Bob Casey, Jr.... probably badly.  And Lynn Swann will rightfully get his ass handed to him.
