[Warren Stupidity]

1. I just want this thing over now.

[Autumn]

2. I couldn't stand it any more so I voted yesterday

[Siwsan]

3. I took the afternoon off

After I vote, I am buying a bottle of good bubbly wine and a bottle of very cheap scotch. Hopefully there will be no need for the cheap scotch. What ever the case, I took Wednesday off, too.

I actually am taking Mon-Thur off from work, just like I did in 2008.The day before will be for anticipation...the day of, vote then glue myself to the computer and TV! The 2 days after I have set aside for celebration!

[Kalidurga]

14. From the same site.....it can be either one

be champing/chomping at the bit also be chafing at the bit
to be very keen to start an activity or to go somewhere By the time he arrived to pick us up we were champing at the bit with impatience. I'm not sure if he's ready for extra responsibility yet, but he's chafing at the bit.

16. prescriptive vs descriptive dictionary entries...

Eventually champing will be obsolete.

18. This is what I love about DU!

The sharing of ideas and information!
I just love it!

[RebelOne]

20. Me too, but I voted by absentee ballot. n/t

[MissMarple]

11. I voted! And I've helped with the call lists to get more people to vote.

Canvassers are also needed to make sure all Democrats vote. Please help if you can. No salary, flexible hours, talking to Dems, oh, and a little excercise... with a big payoff!

[Lebam in LA]

12. Voting in person

on Tuesday

We only have early voting by mail. My eyes are too old to see all those tiny little numbered circles to mark.

[sarge43]

13. I'll be there when the doors open

Then, to the OFA office to help take anyone who needs transportation to the polls.

[GoneOffShore]

15. Here's another one. In Philadelphia.

Can't wait.

[GumboYaYa]

17. Obama/Biden/McCaskill

[sheshe2]

19. And Warren in Ma!

[randome]

21. I will be at the polling place at 5:30.

Too bad Missouri doesn't have early voting.

[bvar22]

22. I will be at the polls on Voting Day.

We have Early Voting here in Arkansas,
but I don't believe in it,
or Vote-by-Mail.

I will cast my vote in person at the polls on Voting Day,
and check in with any/all Exit Pollsters.
The Global Touchstone for a Fair Election IS the Exit Poll.

Early Voting, and especially Vote-by-Mail, invalidates or reduces the effectiveness of the Exit Poll,
and who the hell knows if your vote is counted, tabulated, and reported if you just drop it in a mail box?

There is only one way to have a transparent, verifiable, honest election:

*Vote In Person, Same Day voting, national holiday, polls open 24 hours.
(I even like the Purple Finger thing they did in Iraq!)

*Paper Ballots deposited in a transparent ballot box

*Multiple independent Exit Polls

*Ballots hand counted in public with video observation (a la casinos) live feed to the internet

*Results posted on the Voting Station door

*No ballot or ballot boxes moved from the polling station or public + video observation until the election is certified.



THEN, I might begin to feel safe about our elections.
When the elections in Venezuela and most 3rd World countries are more transparent, observable, and verifiable than OUR elections,
then we have a BIG problem.

23. My plan is to vote Tuesday AM

and run errands in the afternoon with my "I Voted" sticker proudly on display.

[bluestate10]

24. My state doesn't have early voting, so I am ready for Tuesday. I feel confident

that the President is going to romp.

[eqfan592]

26. Already voted, but I know what you're talking about!

Felt really good to cast my ballot.

27. Yankee doodle

I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy

by George M. Cohan


I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy
A Yankee Doodle, do or die
A real live nephew of my Uncle Sam
Born on the Fourth of July

I've got a Yankee Doodle sweetheart
She's my Yankee Doodle joy
Yankee Doodle came to London
Just to ride the ponies
I am the Yankee Doodle Boy
