If your state hasn't voted yet, fret not. Your vote **will** matter.

I don't know who to thank for this, but its a good thing. This race will go to the convention. Tonight will see (relatively) small wins and small defeats. The whole magilla won't be decided until the end.

I'm glad for that.

It means the PEOPLE will have a say .... maybe not the ideal candidate pool, but at least we have a say.

5. I live in Florida
And my vote for Edwards was an exercise in futility. It would be nice for my vote to count but no person I have ever voted for won here.

6. And I'm pretty damn excited about it.....
Edited on Tue Feb-05-08 10:38 PM by rainbow4321
cuz living in Texas, sometimes my Dem vote just didn't seem to matter in previous election years....candidate being already picked by the time MARCH rolls around!

Apparently, a good number of Dallas area Dems thought Texas was part of Super Tuesday. Democratic headquarters/offices were getting a bunch of phone calls from people wanting to know where the polling stations were located today!!! Hopefully this means record turnout when our turn comes!
