[GeorgeStraitfan1]

I am voting!! The most important year to vote...personally speaking

[PrncessJess22]

I *Early* Voted about 2 weeks ago!! :D

[Kymery]

I *Early* Voted about 2 weeks ago!! :D

And if I remember correctly we are voting the same!:D

[heavenlymoon76]

I *early* voted too :)

[horsephotographer]

I'm dropping my mail vote off at the polls in the morning...
I can't stand the wait.Beginning to hate seeing the commercials.I can't wait till it is over....

[raising rednecks]

I plan to vote tomorrow then lock myself in the mancave to watch the coverage. It could be all over by 6pm out here in so cal.

[festivalfan]

so sick of this campaign and election coverage...on and on and on. yes I will drop my ballot off today, then heading out tonight with some friends to tie one on, avoid the coverage and then depending on the outcome, may lock myself in a cave for the next four years. there...no one will know how I voted.

[honkytonkangel]

When I was inline this morning to drop off my ballot, TREVOR HOFFMAN was inline with me.....(closing pitcher for the SD Padres and my favorite Padre!!!):D:D

Tell him to start throwing strikes again...

[honkytonkangel]

I wished I had told him to retire!!! LOL!!!

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

lol. I know its sad. But it is time to go...

VOTING AFTER SCHOOL TODAY! JUST TWO CLASSES THEN STRAIGHT TO THE POLLS!

[Kymery]

Just got back from voting. Took an hour in line.

The bad thing was that the line for A-L was only 20 people long, while the M-Z was about 100 long...including ME!!!

[Cooter]

my motto: vote early, vote often.

[honkytonkangel]

I think the "vote often" part is against the law, Cooter...hehe...:p

[Kymery]

I tried to go early, voting was at my kids high school, got there to drop them at 7:15 and the line was around the corner already and no parking...per news they said to wait till 10, so that is when I went back, not too bad, I don't think a 1 hour wait is a problem (now, my back did!!). Although the snot lady ahead of me seemed to think so, kept comparing to "last time at Harada Elementary" etc etc...shut up lady and be happy you have the right to even vote.

[IheartMillerLite]

I did absentee, so my vote is already in. Hopefully.

[Thom]

Got it done at 7 this am

[hodgee5]

And.... we re screwed

[Kymery]

And.... we re screwed

[Cooter]

[raising rednecks]

No line at all at my polling place this afternoon. I was surprised it lasted so late before getting the final results.

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

With the way G.W.Bush put this country in a crappy place and now we regret putting him in office, I just hope Barack Oboma doesn't also make us regret our votes.

[Kymery]

With the way G.W.Bush put this country in a crappy place and now we regret putting him in office, I just hope Barack Oboma doesn't also make us regret our votes.

I heard on the news this a.m.: People are expecting a lot from him and that after two months many will be dissapointed that nothing has "changed" as promised. It isn't HIM that initiates, decides etc what goes on, there is much more to it.

People blame Bush, but we gotta go back to when we were attacked...no matter what president, no matter Rep or Dem, we would be in war, pricing would fall, it is the norm for the world. It is history repeating itself as it always will. It isn't the one person "Bush" or whomever would of been president, it is all the people in the White House whom make decisions. I feel that had Gore won the last election, we would still be in a war, housing would of slumped, etc. Sure maybe a bit different in handling, as everyone is different, but I think we would still be here. It isn't Bush or whomever would of been president's fault we were attacked in New York etc!

I, and this is just MY opinion, that Obama won on a Popular Vote, not an experienced vote. By this I mean, you hear about all the African Americans who came out and voted for the first time in their lives....they wanted to make history, and that they did.

The quotes I kept hearing on the news this am was: Now my children can wake up and see that they can do anything being African American, we have come a long way and now my child knows they can even run for President.

This is AWESOME and I am excited for that...BUT...........That's not what this election was for...the election if for someone who can run a Country, not make history in being the first in something.

Ok...DONT ATTACK ME.:cool:

[schradog]

It definately will be interesting to watch how the game is played!!! Good luck on not being attacked Kymer :D

[Kymery]

I know...leave it to me! I am just quoting!!! In fact I never even thought of all these thoughts until this am listening to the news and what peers are saying.

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

I will never attack you kymery! It's gonna be interesting how the next months will be...

[Kymery]

I will never attack you kymery! It's gonna be interesting how the next months will be...

I appreciate that...you know me...and I don't mean anything bad, just passing words.

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

absolutely..NEver shoot the messenger

[honkytonkangel]

Does anyone else find it annoying and wrong that they announce who won while POLLS ARE STILL OPEN?!?!? I was in a bar and it was announced at 7:54PM...CA polls were still open, not to mention Hawaii and Alaska...so basically all those people in line, literally their vote doesn't count or I should say matter. I would find that very discouraging.....I know that there are still props to vote on but I know people who this was the first time in their ENTIRE life they voted (and they are in their 30s) and they specifically chose this year to vote because of the presidential race. And the race was announced as won before they even cast their vote! I thought they (the stupid media) learned their lesson after the Gore/Bush disaster...but guess not....lucky for them it was not a close race otherwise it could have got REAL UGLY...

PS I was in that bar grabbing a beer before heading into the Madonna concert.....lets just say it was surreal being at a Madonna show on the night of a very historical election and lets just say she was overjoyed at the outcome. If it had been the other way around, it would have been a very different show...yikes!

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

Very true Honky Tonk!! Like your new pic!

also, I too went to Madonna :) (for free) :p

[Rose]

I'm going to see Madonna tomorrow night at Dodger stadium...how was the concert? It's my first time seeing her.

[Kymery]

I agree HTA...I voted early, but Doug voted late, after he got home from work..they announced right after he voted! And you know darn well his vote was not included in that talley!

I think they need to wait completely so that the votes are not influenced in anyway!!

[honkytonkangel]

I'm going to see Madonna tomorrow night at Dodger stadium...how was the concert? It's my first time seeing her.

I was hugely disapointed in her song selection. As always her show is visually stunning, but I really couldn't get into it because the songs were her new stuff or too obscure. Also, the venue where she performed (Petco Park) really sucks acoustically, the echo was real bad, hopefully your venue is better. AND they stopped selling beer 30min after the start of the show....so I got 1 beer...that did not help..LOL!!! Lucky for me the ticket was free.

Seriously. I hate all the election coverage and election polls, just give us the final tally.....glad I was not able to see most of it....until the announcement when the bar errupted in cheers and applause.

OUCH...I paid dearly for my ticket. I've never seen a concert at Dodgers stadium but I have to assume that the sound is going to be bad. DARN, I was hoping she would do some of her old stuff.

I wanted to turn the channel, but feared if I did then things would go wrong..I know...strange, but that is me! Besides it was on EVERY channel anyway, no where to turn! Just kept the red cup full:o

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

There is always atleast one channel to turn to....CMT!

[Kymery]

There is always atleast one channel to turn to....CMT!

duhhhhh didnt think of that! so i watched the fall of the chinese empire or something like that instead.

[hodgee5]

I just got drunk. LOL. Needless to say, Im not too happy haha. Anyone else going to the Carrie Underwood concert tonight?

[festivalfan]

I did too, hodgee...and everyone else in my group. figured we'd be safe in a sushi place. btw..lisa and kat are going to carrie tonight i think

[hodgee5]

Haha good times.

it is just fact that the west coast is a democratic powerhouse. they probably based all results on exit polling, not on official numbers. before the election even began it was a sure thing that ca's 55 electoral votes would go blue.

i think it's time to get rid of the electoral college. it is so outdated and pointless nowadays. let the popular vote decide and people's votes actually will count. if you are voting for a republican presidential candidate in ca your vote doesn't count towards anything.

I agree with you 100% Kymery! I am soooooo glad I was driving across the country yesterday (from CALIFORNIA to TEXAS)... and I didn't have to see or hear anything about the election until ***I WANTED TO***!!!

I stopped to get gas in a small town in the middle of nowhere and as I was leaving this lil old man asked me if I had heard the news?
I said, " Yes! I've already heard the BAD News"!!!

((LOL))

My statement made him laugh! :-P

[PrncessJess22]

And.... we re screwed

Yes we are!

(and not in the good way) :rolleyes:

[Countrygurl]

no comment

word.

I agree, let the popular vote should decide. It was so hard to watch the map and all the Red covering the map, but Blue won..just strange.

[Cooter]

hardly anyone lives where all that red is.

[Kymery]

hardly anyone lives where all that red is.

I understand, that is what I was explaing to Doug...but still...it needs to go with and actual vote, per person, every vote would really count then!

Being in the IE, there is plenty of Red, everyone I talked to, listened to etc, voted that way, just it goes by "area" persay...

Sheesh, we wondered why people stop voting, now they voted to "make history"..hey whatever works to get them out to vote.

[Cooter]

was watching mccain's concession speech last night and it was so disturbing when he mentioned obama's name and a bunch of boo's were heard from the crowd. made me happy to not be a part of that party this election.

you also saw his demographic in that crowd, wow what a rainbow of colors...or not.

[Rose]

Hey, why don't we all starting talking about religion too! :eek:

[Kymery]

Hey, why don't we all starting talking about religion too! :eek:

Noooo...hey come on, freedom of speech and we are all getting along in this mayhem! I am just happy I have not been thrown daggers at! phewwww..

We will go thru this every 2-4 years.

[Rose]

I'm just very disappointed that Prop 8 passed. You would think that all the divorce attorneys, florists, jewelry stores etc....could throw some money at this issue and make it happen.

[Countrygurl]

i think we're all getting along because some of us just choose to keep our mouth shut.

I vote we don't discuss religion or politics . Isn't that a popular saying anyways? I think that is safe and polite. :)

Absolutely. I think it is safe to say, Lets drop the subject because I don't want my SC family to get in a fight.

I feel like that little kid who covers his ears when mom and dad fight. lol

[IheartMillerLite]

I concur. We don't need to argue about our own beliefs. We love each other, let's keep it that way! Did I just say the word "concur??"

[Cooter]

a little discussion once in awhile doesn't hurt, it would make this place a little less boring if there were some actual debates on random topics once in awhile. people here seem to take things way too personally and way too seriously. otherwise all there is on the board is "i like red cups", "i like country music", "i like to drink". oh so stimulating...why is everyone here so afraid to have differing views and to discuss them??? afraid you might get your feelings hurt on an internet message board? i didn't think that was possible.

Cooter.. I agree.. sometimes its fun, and good, to get "spirited" about an issue or debate, and share thoughts. I am in agreement that we can carry on about nothing, including me. We are a mixture of lots of personalities and really do care about eachother. However, I have also witnessed nastiness, and cruelty that is hurtful....and not spirited. It would be nice to be able to post an opinion, concern, fear, or a thought that may not be mainstream, but yet know there would not be a backlash of attacks afterward, and maybe get a different perspective.

[Cooter]

it's fine, once the lineup is released tomorrow there will be plenty of bitching...

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

lol. mostly from me if there are no good headliners on the mane stage. Usually the good ones are on a different stage and not on the mane stage where they ought to be!

[Countrygurl]

spreading them out is most of the fun. being cooped up all day in front of the mane stage is boring imho. explore. you might regret missing an artist that was 2 stages away that is a huge blockbuster in a few years.

[horsephotographer]

Hey, why don't we all starting talking about religion too! :eek:



Rose are you working on finding trouble...lol;)
Most everyone has there own opinion's and that is all they are ....
Lets just pray this country finds it's way back...
Oops did I say pray???

Well, that depends on if you have seats that you paid dearly for or not..or if you cant walk anymore after three days, or have a handicap..etc etc.

Although it is awesome to have the option, it just isnt that easy for many people, and you miss out on some forsaking others...the price we have to pay I guess...comes on the menu.
