Done! #222 for my polling place for the day.
I managed to get out of the office around 10 and got right into the polling place. No major lines though there was a bit of an issue with the scan tron machine accepting the ballots. But you just had to try it a few times and it would usually take it.
They didn’t have the “I voted” stickers. Sure its a small thing, but its part of the process.
For the love of God, STOP CALLING ME!!!
I was once a Democrat. Many many moons ago. I haven’t been a registered anything for over 10 years and I’m pretty happy about that. But unfortunately, the Democratic Party in Iowa thinks I’m still a Democrat and needs to call me. And call often! I’m a Libertarian, get over it.
For the past 2 months, I have asked to be removed from the calling lists.
Unfortunately, I didn’t watch the whole debate. I have it pretty much narrowed down to who I am going to vote for but I still like to watch the two titans spare. I have a lot of respect for both of the major party candidates. But there is one thing tonight that John McCain said that honestly made my head spin. I had to check the transcript of the debate to make sure that I heard it correct.
In the face of an economy in crisis and a deeply unpopular president, some analysts believe the situation is ripe to give Democrats a shot at a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority in the Senate in November.
It’s “the perfect storm,” said Stuart Rothenberg, editor of the nonpartisan Rothenberg Political Report. “You’ve got Republican voters angry at Republicans, many Americans just petrified about the future…wanting change. And right now change appears to be coming in the form of Democrats.
I’m terrible at hiding the fact that politician annoy the hell out of me. I didn’t get to see the debates live on TV so when I came home from softball, one of the things that my wife mentioned was all the freaking winking. “It was like it is a damn beauty pageant up there. ”
Now, my wife isn’t exactly the biggest republican fan this time around so I thought she might be a bit biased.
