My friends in Kansas are voting even if we will lose big because...

[kansasobama]

We want the popular vote now. I have all my friends and relatives in Kansas voting for O. We know we are losing but our votes will help the popular vote to make up for Northeast turnout. I hope all RED states are doing the same. GOTV. GOTV..

Hope all Dem voters in swing states and blue states are going to form a long line starting at 5 am on Tuesday so that their votes are not suppressed

[get the red out]

1. That's how I feel here in Kentucky

Definitely voting, as well as other liberals I know.

[Comrade_McKenzie]

2. Count 3 more for Kentucky here...

My dad's first time voting Democratic and my mom's first time voting.

[SharonAnn]

31. And in Tennessee! Locally, we usually only have R on the ballot so

the R primary is where people get "elected". However, I won't cross over (we don't register by party and we have open primaries where you can select which party to vote for).

I want those who review the numbers to know that there are serious Democrats here.

And, unless it's an unusually moderate (R) here, I don't cast a vote for them in the general election either. That also tells them that X number of people voted and only Y people voted for the only candidate on the ballot. The difference is the "protest" vote.

3. THIS is one of the most important posts on the board today!

I hope everyone in red states takes the point!!!

Kick/rec!

[Rose Siding]

28. +++ K&R

We need all our friends in Kansas and WV and KY and TN, TX AK....all are part of our national numbers.

Your vote has value. Use it!

[LibGranny]

4. Early voting started in Kansas on Oct 17 and

my hubby and I voted that day. I've urged everyone I know to go VOTE EARLY and avoid any lines and if they say anything
about Kansas being a red state, I just tell them to vote so O will win popular vote! We may not be able to totally beat the rethugs here in Kansas but we can keep trying. Plus, I think lots of folks are getting fed up with this far-right governor.

[Logical]

5. I voted at metcalf last Saturday!!

[kansasobama]

6. I agree, that Brownback is something

I am ashamed of our governor and our so-called voter fraud alarms. We have no voter fraud issues but Kansas Legislature thinks there is and they spent lot of money.

There were probably 5 illegal votes????

Vote for O so that Brownback is forced to implement Health care Reform. He is sitting with no action and hoping O loses.

7. that is why we vote in texas. nt

[yellowdogintexas]

20. you got that right! 2 from my house, Straight Democratic Ticket!

with fingers crossed for our downticket candidates!!!!!!

We have some excellent candidates this year

[seabeyond]

25. i have to vote individually. too many races has no democrat. i vote for the libertarian in that

case. nt

[ffr]

8. I love that spirit. That is the sign of a true patriot!

GOTV! Obama-Biden victory 2012!

[2theleft]

9. kick n/t

[Seedersandleechers]

10. Shout out from a neighbor in KCMO.

I am doing the same. Will also be voting for Claire and Emmanuel Cleaver.

[babylonsister]

11. Yay! I'm determined to vote in GA, too, even though

it won't amount to much. I NEED to vote!

[NCLefty]

12. I vote no matter where I am.

[octoberlib]

14. +1

Just because you live in a red state doesn't mean your vote doesn't matter.

[octoberlib]

13. This is wonderful!

I grew up in Kansas back when it was a far more moderate place. My grandfather was a Democrat in the Kansas State legislature and he's probably turning over in his grave at the very thought of Brownback having control of his state. I think your vote is every bit as important as a swing state vote. Thank you!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

15. Lines wrapped around blocks and blocks here in Maryland, which Obama will win by at least 20 points.

People are fired up even in the BLUEST of BLUE Maryland.

We all voted early. Now we head down to VA to keep it BLUE!

[politrixjunkie]

23. yep!

That's the ticket. I'm headed to VA myself.

[progressivebydesign]

16. Yes! Plus all the downticket people need help, too. nt

[Third Doctor]

17. I'm doing the same thing in Alabama!

[barbtries]

18. thank you Kansas Democrats!

make it close.

[Turbineguy]

19. And on a personal level they will not be responsible for Romney being elected.

That at least is something too.

[Wayoff]

21. Me too!

I voted for Pres. Obama, on Wednesday, in Payola, KS. I figured that it would show the rest of the country that there are some sane people that live here.

[AZ Lib]

22. Voted a straight Dem ticket!

in Mesa AZ!!!

Go Obama!!

[pnwmom]

24. YES!!! n/t

[PoliticalBiker]

26. Already Voted...

... here in MI... absentee ballot
Because I'm a precinct worker and I won't be at the precinct I vote in.
By the time the next presidential election comes around I should be precinct chair... getting training after the election

[lindysalsagal]

27. There are so many good reasons to vote, not the least of which

is to determine future target markets and demographics.

Every little bit of pressure you put on lying republicans, national or local, helps curtail their greed.

If Kansas moves blue by 2 or 3 or 5 points, that's enough to scare the crap out of all future candidates.

Plus, we all need to create our own local databases for future use on issues like choice or health care or education.

People should never sit out of an election.

Way to go!

[Brigid]

29. Already voted here in IN.

Lots of people in line that day. Hope they were all voting Dem!

[53tammy]

30. I would think voting in a red state,

Would be even more important than a blue state. So often many forget how issues at the state level affect our lives and nothing empowers the neocons more than uneducated a apathetic public. It affects us all! Good for you and we support your effort, Thanks!!!
