Bravo,
it looks like a clean sweep for the Irishman, O'Bama, cuz he's getting help from all the wee people.
Next November another reason to vote: there's an amendment on the Florita ballot to ban gay marraige. There is no gay marraige now. But hey, they need 60% to passit. My charge RN Nolita has been a long time partner with another lady. Now thhey have a lil girl. So I gotta go vote for her.
At least your vote will count.
Very civic of you.

Iraqi Voters Risked their lives for democracy
Imagine if on the day you went to vote, you had to dodge bullets, fear car bombs, and hit the ground when you heard a mortar whirring overhead. These were some of the roadblocks that Iraqi voters faced on January 30, 2005.
Despite attacks on polling stations by insurgents, some 8.4 million people, an estimated 58% of eligible voters, turned out to vote in their country's first democratic election in 50 years. Instead of having to vote for the one candidate available to them in the past, the recently deposed Saddam Hussein, the citizens of Iraq would be choosing their newly formed 275-member National Assembly. "Today, I am voting for peace," one voter said in the London Times.

I wonder if they still teach a civics class in high school?
So grateful for the teachers I have had who loved to teach.
Still have not made up mind jimboloco
waiting for march 4
waiting and watching to see how it plays out
I had a partner from Belgium, he told me if you don't vote in Belgium it is a crime, the cops show up at your door.
A Friend told me once if you don't know, don't vote.
O'bama the black Irishman seems to be a smarter politician than Hillary.
I hope he picks her for VP. It could be his insurance policy, like Cheney is for Bush. Everybody so scared if something happens to him sneering Dick would be the president.

Gay marriage is a myth.
married couples are unhappy, usually.
But seriously in principle how could you be against it? what do ya want to ban it fir, so as to make marriages misareble?
