I just voted for Obama this morning, ask me ANYTHING!

[Voltaire]

At 6:30 this morning in Indianapolis my wife and I were the 18th and 19th voters at our polling station. Normally they don't get to 18 or 19 until noontime. Lines at the polls everywhere in the city at 6:30 this morning. Its a beautiful day and turnout is looking good here. No rain until after the polls close.

1. how does it feel to be such a great American?

congrats and thanks. I hope your vote pushes him over in IN

[livetohike]

2. Congratulations!

:thumbsup: When I voted in PA, it made me smile (and I've been voting since 1972). This was the first time in a long, long time that I happily cast my vote.

3. Were There Any Middle Aged Women With Pots & Pans There?

:evilgrin:


Thanks for the early report. I don't know why, but I have a good feeling about today.


K&R

8. It would be nice if we could end this here today

Its tight, they both have areas of strength in the state. I'll hope the Bradley Effect doesn't come into play MUCH and we can eke out a victory here. He will certainly take Indianapolis, we'll have to see how the rest of the state goes.

4. What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Congrats on the vote for our next President.

[VWolf]

24. What do you mean? African or European?

[Windy]

5. Congratulations!!! Tell your friends and get them to the polls!!! :o) n/t

6. Any chance you can help with GOTV?

I'm sure they could use the help in Indianapolis if you are able to help. Congrats on voting for Obama...must have felt good to finally vote for him after all these primaries!

Just curious, are you originally from Philadelphia?

[Voltaire]

10. I am originally from and still proudly claim Philadelphia as home

But I have lived in Indy the last 12 years. My wife is from here, so Philly is a place I get to visit from time to time.

7. Is Pluto really a non-planet? Why do birds chirp in the morning? Got milk?

:yourock:

9. What do Indianans make of the 1 million plus voter registrations dumped?

Especially since a higher proportion of them were in the area of IN near Chicago?

[Voltaire]

13. I would bet you that most don't know about it

The citizens of this state look down on folks up in Lake County anyway as big city Chicago types. So if their votes get dumped, you won't find much complaining in the rest of the state. Except from people like me. I haven't found much use for the Democratic Party in this state when it comes to looking out for their voters. Hopefully that will change.

11. Thanks for the encouraging report, Voltaire. GOBAMA!

[Vinca]

12. Any idea how 1 - 17 voted? nt

[Voltaire]

15. Hmmm...I can say this

Nobody that I saw take ballots asked for a Republican ballot. Granted, they don't have much of a primary, but I work with a lot of republican voters and over the last few weeks they were asking me the rules on how to vote Democratic this time. These are folks who don't really pay attention, but the Bush/Daniels policies are finally biting them on the ass enough to pay attention. I was just glad to be able to steer them in the right direction.

[HarveyBrooks]

14. Why...

did you vote for a lying, hypocritical racist?

[Voltaire]

17. What do you mean? I didn't vote for Hillary

and I had no idea Bill was on the ballot. WHO KNEW?

[meow mix]

16. Did you see Frodo and Samwise?

just wondering

[Voltaire]

18. An obscure Lord Of The Rings reference....

of which I am woefully uninformed. Thanks for playing though.

[Tesha]

26. "No, but there was a Black Rider holding a Clinton sign." (NT)

[ruby slippers]

19. you get an "attaboy" and an "attagirl"....

[LWolf]

20. The only thing I can thing of to ask is

"Why? Why did you vote for either of those two neoliberals?"

[FrenchieCat]

21. You stood up!

That's what it takes!

Thank you for that! :patriot:

[bowens43]

22. Is it warmer in the country then it is in the summer?

[gaiilonfong]

23. BRAVO

GOBAMA

[Kukesa]

25. What time did you get up to make it to the polls by 6:30 am?

But, seriously, Voltaire, you and your wife are my heroes this morning!

Good on you.

[Voltaire]

29. I was up at my normal 5:00

I live really close to my polling place though. I was there and back in 15 minutes

[Kukesa]

32. Sorry, but I don't think 5:00 am is "normal." It's awful. n/t

[Voltaire]

37. You're right of course

its just an old habit from my Navy days. I worked such odd shifts back then that my body clock is just ALL messed up.

[Adelante]

27. YAY

:yourock:

[Eurobabe]

28. Yea!! Good for YOU!!

:applause: Feels good donut! :rofl:

[demwing]

30. Ok - Ever fantasize about having sex in a vat of lime Jello?

or am I taking you too literally?

[ampad]

31. I just wanted to say thank you

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[Voltaire]

38. You are welcome

YES WE CAN!

[Perry Logan]

33. If you voted for Obama, there's no point in asking you anything.

Just kidding.

[Voltaire]

36. Really?

I'm just a 49 year old, really politically aware and savvy kid, who knows, maybe I have been bamboozled by Obama eh?

I don't think so.

[democrattotheend]

34. How are most of your friends/coworkers voting?

Any idea?

[Voltaire]

40. The GOP Switchers I know were 50/50

Actually, for me that's good, my mission is to keep them Democratic no matter who they vote for. The presidential thing is important, but here in Indiana, we have GOT to get rid of Mitch Daniels in the fall. As a state employee, I know full well the sting of his blade.

[IDemo]

35. If a train left Chicago travelling west at 45mph, and one left Denver at 50mph, eastward

when will Hillary suspend her campaign?

[DevonRex]

39. OMG. I have nightmares about those word problems. Thank

goodness it wasn't real. :)

[Jersey Devil]

41. In the words of Frank Hague, "Vote early and vote often" (nt)

[Jed Dilligan]

42. WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM?

Just kidding. :cheers:

[WA98296]

43. Thanks so much!

[AwakeAtLast]

44. So did I, Voltaire!

:hi:

Oh, um, question - What do you want for Christmas? (I think I probably know the answer, but humor me!)
