6. I watched Hillary's QA show last night, and I watched |
|
Obama on CSpan.
And I decided that one had put a lot of thought and effort into issues, and one had a cool campaign strategy.
So voting for Hillary Clinton was the obvious choice.

2. I saw Deval Patrick in line to vote. |
|
The weather is crap today, but I made it to the polls bright and early.
There was already a line, at 7:05AM, but not out the door yet.
I was voter number 28.
Want to guess who was waiting in line ahead of me?
None other than the governor himself, Deval Patrick!
Fox news and another station were there with cameras to record the event.

3. Just voted in MA (Cape Cod) - 821 voters had already been there, out of 2400 registered. |
|
I was told that most people vote on their way home from work.
We'll see...

4. Stood in a long line in Prescott Valley AZ... |
|
...no, not necessarily a big turnout - maybe it was - but here is the main reason: due to lack of poll workers, the number of polling precincts was dropped from 100 to 24.
When I called the County that was explained to me and also, thankfully, it will not happen for the general.

9. I was a Kucinich supporter |
|
then I would have voted for Edwards.
But my nephew who has been in both Iraq and Afghanistan wrote an impassioned letter asking all of his relatives to vote for Obama. Both Obama and Clinton are too corporate for me, but I decided to vote for my nephew's choice as I love him dearly and he has different insights having actually fought in these wars, He persuaded me that Obama will get us out of Iraq more quickly that Clinton will. I do not know if this is at all true, but since I was so stuck in between the two too corporate candidates I went with his request.
I will support any democrat with a passion in the general election.

in NJ at 7:00 A.M. No lines. However, everytime I touched Obama's name, an X showed by Clinton's name. Raised a little hell because my finger was nowhere near her name. The poll workers said it was happening often. Finally, resolved the issue.
Concerned because I live in a Senior Citizen building (there are three on our block) and some of the residents are very old and cannot see well.
Notified Obama headquarters in West Orange.
Peace:thumbsup:
