Indeed, Hullbreach. I am welled up with a strange combination of dread and excitement... I don't know what to expect.

SirVenom, this is the first election that has made me fear for the future of the country and for my family. In the past, candidates have been weak or have had plain stupid ideas. This time around may mark the end of the United States as we've known it.

I don't know what's worst, the puppet or the pupper master, but we will be seeing a president who is dangerous on either side of that idea. I'm voting tomorrow, but I know that votes make no difference, anymore.

So much for wii news.

Lol :D

Tomorrow's the big day. Time to see which diablo ends up pulling the strings (or having his strings pulled) for four years.

Dagnabit those whipper-snappers and their complaining! :D

True, hullbreach, unless the one complaining is a minor ;)

Vote Antidisestablishmentarianist! :P

Also remember that you only have a valid claim to complain about who ends up in power if you voted.

(As posted in "Thwomp the Vote"...)

Don’t forget all the other parties running as well. I know I’m forgetting some of them here, but this is a decent list:

America’s Third - David Jon Sponheim
Boston Tea - Charles Jay
Constitution - Rev. Chuck Baldwin
Democratic - Sen. Barack Obama
Green - Rep. Cynthia McKinney
Libertarian - Rep. Bob Barr
New American Independent - Frank McEnulty
Prohibition - Gene Amondson
Reform - Ted Weill
Republican - Sen. John McCain
Socialism and Liberation - Gloria La Riva
Socialist - Brian Moore
Socialist Workers - Róger Calero

…and several independents

Obviously the minor parties have no chance of winning, but remember Perot in the 1990s runs had a considerable portion of the popular vote because enough people jumped parties. Once a party reaches 4% in the general election, it can receive cash from the Federal Election Fund 4 years later, leading to possible future shifts in party dominance as has happened several times in the country's past. (I mean, who votes Democratic Republican, Whig, Federalist, Bull Moose, or Free Soiler, anymore?)

Anyways, take into consideration all the issues and where the candidates stand. Do your research so that you are not voting blind. Voting for looks, gender, ethnicity, or rhetoric, are not as important as voting based on what that individual will do for the country. There are countless issues, some major, some minor, some over-politicised. Pick what matters to you, and research it because the winner will be in office for 4 or 8 years.

In short: Make your informed choice, and cast your vote.
