I'm not really sure if it will make a difference, but we're supposed to be somewhat of a swing state this year, so I hope it helps. It's kind of exciting to get to do the whole voting thing, but I feel like it loses something in the translation to absentee voting. Instead of being something kind of fun and unique, it just feels like any old standardized test...

Originally Posted By RoadTrip It's been an interesting journey. My daughter is so liberal she is almost socialist.

That I was just being a troll. That wasn't really true. I prefer to call it being the devil's advocate.

Originally Posted By mele I voted for Obama and my husband is planning on doing the same. My FIL lives with us and is also voting Obama. My mother believes everything she hears on Fox News and will be voting for McCain even though I've sent her quite a few links debunking some of the stupid rumors she believes. Now, I know some very intelligent people who truly believe that Obama is Muslim and that means America will be a socialist country if he's elected. I'm not really sure why being Muslim would instantly mean he was for socialism but why let facts muck that up.
