I just happily voted for Barack Obama. My fiancee, for Hillary Clinton.

Nice to vote in a meaningful primary. And whoever you're supporting, take solace in the fact that we cancelled each other out :)

1. Your votes counted.

I have never bought the "cancelled each other out" thing. If that were true, nobody who knows anyone who's voting for another candidate would ever vote.

4. Yes they would. If they didn't, then they wouldn't be cancelling out the other person's vote.

5. Well, the margin of victory will be the same as if we stayed home, but both of us are happy to

increase our candidate's vote total by one. And after all, "canceling out" the other guys' votes is kinda the purpose of voting.

2. well it's cool

that you both voted for who you wanted which is what the Primary is for, casting your voice through vote. We should be voting for anyone other than that's who you wanted. It's great that during this heated race between Clinton and Obama you two each voted for someone else and the marriage isn't called off.

3. Congratz :)

I'm hearing a lot of anecdote where husbands vote for obama and wives vote for hillary. And sometimes the wife manages to convince the husband to vote for Hillary.

7. Or at least

...that's what he tells her...

6. Yeah but at least you're both dems

I always have to laugh when I do phone banks for general election, because the phone bank sheet will list a couple and one will be R and one will be D and they both vote 99% of the time!

They motivate each other to vote and then cancel each other out. I always laugh about this when I dial, hoping I'll get the right one.
