OK, I bit the bullet and early voted. Just got back. I have to say

[rateyes]

that I voted for Obama/Biden (of course), for the Democratic challenger to Suxby Chumpliss, Jim Martin, BUT

I DID NOT VOTE FOR MY "DEMOCRAT IN NAME ONLY" CONGRESSMAN JIM MARSHALL, nor for his challenger.

And, if Jim Marshall loses by one vote, it will be mine. Marshall has run radio ads talking about how he stands up to his own party and was praised for it by the likes of Rush Limbaugh. That cinched it for me. I won't for a Republican, even if he does call himself a Democrat.

1. Good for you.

There's no reason to support a sucker...it just makes you a sucker, too.

[rateyes]

3. Thanks. And, if I haven't already said it,

Welcome to DU. :hi:

2. OOooo See I haven't looked

Into the state/local elections... I need to do that. I was never going to vote for "Suxby Chumpliss" hehehe But I'm not familiar with the other races

[rateyes]

4. Check out your Representative. If a Democrat, unless you live

in the ATL area, he/she is probably a blue dog DINO.

5. I'm going to have a problem with my Shaheen vote.

Her hubby had no problem wondering out loud if Obama may have ever sold coke... and afaik, she's never stepped away from that. Other than that, theres her supporting of Bush's policies and that shes a DINO if there ever was one.

She is not worthy of touching Obamas coat-tails, never mind riding them. Its too bad all the real progressives dropped out once she decided to run. I do not want to vote for her. Do not want!

But what frigging choice do I have?! It sucks.

6. Funny enough, my mom and grandmother didn't vote for ol Dino Marshall either

My dad did but only because he doesn't want Goddard to win.

I live one mile into the 7th District (my county splits the 7th and 8th).

His is the one seat I wouldn't mind seeing go R and I'll forever rub it in his face. Only Democrat in the entire country to vote against S-CHIP. He's an asshole.

[rateyes]

7. I live right on the border in the 8th district.

My county splits as well. We're not in the same county, though.

8. Isn't the 8th the most ridiculous district ever?

[rateyes]

9. Pretty damned stupid. Gerrymandering sucks.
