Members Greg's GL Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 Watching CNN now.....McCain is campaigning in CO today? That's not a good sign, is it? And I just don't like Cindy McCain. Now he's saying that he's "fixed" Social Security? When did that happen? Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yes, McCain did a short stop in Colorado as Obama did in Indiana both are trying to turn the state from its current status in their favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks for the info, jcar. I didn't realize Obama was campaigning today as well. I have seen one set of Obama volunteers walking around the neighborhood. They haven't knocked on my door yet, but regardless....I'm off to vote!!! I'm so excited!! I'll check back in here when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UCLAN Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 Thanks GGL I enjoyed your input alot. Have fun voting. I miss the lines and excitement of the polling place. The link to the watching history from the porch was very moving. I know my dad and all of my family is excited for this day. My brother is having an election party so we can watch the results tonight. Unfortunately my mom is too ill to be aware of this historic event Again, it was a pleasure posting with you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 I was watching CNN while getting ready for work this am. I am now going to open up another browser and keep it on CNN. All phone and newspaper polls that there has been in Australia on who we would vote for have had Obama winning all of them by over 50%.

Members SnCCorinthos4ever Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 I saw that on CNN while I was getting ready for work, but they did add that if Obama thought that he didn't have a chance then he wouldn't have gone there, and they showed him on the phone mentioning that he was helping in calling people. They also mentioned something about him having a game of basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 ^Its Obama's tradition to play basketball on an election day. During one primary he didn't and he lost so its because essential, lol. Comedy Central is having a Daily Show/Colbert report marathon all day.

Members Darcy Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 With McCain it's his tradition to go to the movies on Election Day - which he decided to skip this time in order to campaign in two states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Greg's GL Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 UCLAN I did it!! Cast my vote for Barack Obama and it was quick. No waiting - I was in and out in 30 minutes. I'M SO EXCITED!! I wish my Mother Dear could be here to see this. She passed a couple years ago and I miss her everyday. I just know that she would have been absolutely thrilled to vote for Obama. I believe that she was right there with me in the voting booth, standing beside me with a smile on her face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darcy Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 No waiting and it took 30 minutes? I was in and out in about 2 minutes. Didn't have to show ID - just had to sign 2 forms and put my street address on one of them. There was no one in front of me and there were 4 voting machines with almost no one there. I'm reading lots of reports about problems with voting machines, paper ballots and every other thing you can think of including voter suppression, especially (of course) in the battleground states.

Members Tishy Posted November 4, 2008 Members Share Posted November 4, 2008 I live in a small town and was able to walk in and walk out in two minutes. I stood there in the booth and let the significance of the moment really hit me. How amazing it was that I could vote for either a black man or a woman as President or Vice-President respectively. We are making history today. I am so proud right now to be American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
