The DITL elections

[stitch626]

I would say Tribble #1451/Tribble #189650.

I only wish more voters were as motivated as the DITL crew. Neither of my roommates want to vote. They don't see the point.

Two of my friends were going to vote McCain, but I've swayed them to the degree that they aren't voting. Works for me.

[Teaos]

I have no problem wth people not voting. Its a perfectly acceptable form of policial protest.

[Deepcrush]

I wanted clinton to start with but she fell out. Then McCain was doing well until Palin. She a nut case to W proud. Now I'm stuck with Obama which sucks but there isn't much I can do about it.

Obama. At bare minimum, he's the lesser of two evils compared to the three-ring circus McCain's running, but he can be more. He's certainly a welcome retreat from the anti-intellectual yodels running the asylum, now.

Of course, he probably doesn't need to worry too much about New York State, anyway.

[Sionnach Glic]

IIRC, New York's pretty heavily Democrat, right?

[Mikey]

Most of the mid-Atlantic states are. The issue for Democrats around here has never been in winning the minds of the population; rather, it's been getting the turnout among the notoriously apathetic Democratic inner-city base.

IIRC, New York's pretty heavily Democrat, right?

Due to the overwhelming influence of one of the world's largest megacities which is a democratic stronghold, yes, in Presidential elections most certainly. Many of the more rural parts upstate lean more Republican, but just can't overcome the voting power of 10 million people in the City. NYC does actually have a mayor who is officially Republican at the moment, but Bloomberg is something of a closet Democrat in real life.

You could do what my conservative friend is, vote Obama so that in 2012 Romney can run.

[Mark]

Hey, at least Obama is a "local boy" who likes a "plate lunch" 8)

[Sionnach Glic]

Ah, I see. Thanks Mikey & CPH.

[stitch626]

I think I count as a Tribblecratican.

[Mark]

Just out of curiousity, how many of us will actually BE voting this year? Meaning not only registered to vote, but actually PLANNING on it?

[stitch626]

Oh. Not me, I don't vote. And Nick and Bob are too young, but they wouldn't vote either.
