View Full Version : My November 5th Nightmare
I am so sorry. I thought it wouldn't be a problem because I didn't live in a swing state. JP, busy, smak, AJ, TB, Sam, Anubis, tem, pseudo, Cory, Michael, MB, et al, I deeply apologize:

Please don't let this happen to you or any of your family or friends.
Hangin's too good for 'im! Burnin's too good for 'im! He should be cut up into little bitty pieces, and buried alive!
(If that's your only nightmare, dude, you must sleep with a smile on your face. My nightmare involves some ugliness where tens of thousands of voters are turned away from the polls by voter suppression tactics.)

I'd laugh if it weren't for that awful sick feeling in my stomach. :D
Dammit, man, and after all I did to try to save Florida!

Easily the best/funniest "customizable" video I've ever seen. Love it!

My wife is volunteering to be a poll watcher in Missouri, to help prevent voter suppression tactics. I was going to do it too, but it's a full-day commitment - you have to be in place 15 minutes before the polls open, and you stay until the last vote is cast. If the experience in Kansas City and St. Louis in 2004 is any indication, this is a key issue. The long lines led to people being in line well before the polls closed at 7 p.m., not getting to cast their votes before 7 p.m. One of her jobs will likely be to ensure that everyone in line by 7 p.m. gets to vote (the Republican monitors tried to cut off all voting at 7 p.m. at several precincts in 2004, but the law is that if you're in line by 7 p.m., you get to cast your ballot).
So the commitment means being at the polling site from 6:45 a.m. until probably around 8 p.m. (or later), and someone has to be at home with the kids.

Pah, when I was a polling clerk I was expected to be there before 7 a.m., the polls did not close until 9 p.m, then we had to deal with the people in line, them we had to wait for the van to come to get the voting boxes, than I had to find a ride to the counting station to be a runner and pray the vote was not so close that one of the candidates would ask for a recount. Only then could I walk back to my home in the hole in the road :)

Pretty funny Daniel!! Thank you for putting a smile on my face today. I thought for sure that my inability to sink a putt today had ruined any chances I had for smiles. :)

Sorry, I will not help you. I live in California so I have assumed that Obama will win my state. As a result, I have voted (absentee) for a third party candidate that is a better choice than either Obama or McCain.
