I didn't see a voting thread here, so I thought I'd do one. If you guys have not yet already, and you are able, get out there and VOTE, particularly the folks in my age group - there hasn't been a fantastic showing by us at the polls thus far. Do NOT wait until Election Day and then suddenly decide you're too busy. Get out there immediately and, whatever your choice, VOTE!

This thread is not meant to be a political debate, just an urging. Please, please, please... vote. It doesn't matter who you vote for. Just that you do.

We DID have a voting thread a while back, but like I predicted, Count deleted it because it got out of hand (not necessarily because of disputes or anything, but because the author was a bit of a sorehead).

Very sore head. He thought everyone who disagreed with the lack of knowledge he called an opinion "Socialists.

I can't stress this enough, though. it is important to vote, BUT it is more important to have a strong decision when you vote. You can't just go in and flip a coin because you can't decide.

When all else fails, vote independent.... or write in something wacky. Sometimes I just wanna take a ballot and write in Big Bird as a candidate.....

Ah yes, that old thread from a few weeks back. That was a good thread. Oh well.

About voting, already did that this past wednesday. Even if you voted for McCain/Palin, we all know who will likely win, which is Obama/Biden. And no, I'm not bashing on the McCain/Palin party. I'm just stating what is likely going to happen come this coming tuesday.

Yeah, and he compared the moderating team here at MC to the Soviet Union.

Or Arnold, because of the whole "Arnold for President" gag! ^^

Oh goodness.

I happen to be giving a big presentation on the candidates and some of the issues on Monday. I've been working on said presentation. I realized I needed a break, and so came on MC... to see this thread. I CAN'T ESCAPE IT! :stick_out_tongue:

Anyway, I am planning to begin the presentation with a little guilt trip to get my classmates to vote. "For those of you who've been living under a rock... There's an election tomorrow. And, assuming you're registered and you haven't already voted, you should really get out and vote, because there's some big stuff at stake." Something like that, anyway. Personally, I'm voting absentee... assuming I can find a stamp to mail my ballot! ...Or, I could hand it off to my parents when they come tomorrow for parents' weekend... Technically, so long as it's postmarked by midnight Nov. 4th, it counts. If I'm remembering the directions right.
