Is this person for real? How absolutely horrifying...
When asked on Oct. 9th by Joel Stein of Time Magazine, "Are you nervous that something could happen before the election that would make you regret your vote?" another early voter said "Nothing could happen that I couldn't rationalize."
Well, now, that DOES sum it up, doesn't it. The dems are not even thinking seriously about whether or not Obama is a good choice. The fact is Obama is not Bush, nor is he of Bush's political Party (Republican). Therefore, Obama is the ONLY choice.
What IDIOTS!
When this is over, someone needs to lead the charge to go back to Election Day voting — and uniform polling rules nationwide. (How quaint!) And, yes, I would think this even if we were the ones a few points ahead in the polls.
My daughters and I voted today. My husband says he’s waiting in case something major happens. There is NOTHING that would make me ever vote for Nobama. It was very quick today and I’m glad I got it done.
I said it before and I’ll say it again...voting should be done on November 4th and not before. Absentee ballots are one thing but this is getting ridiculous!
Oh sure. I’m convinced my in-laws like him simply because he has a “D” after his name. I doubt they know much about him, but anything I could bring up they could easily rationalize. I’ve no doubt there are many people like that in this country.
There is nothing on God's Green Earth that would make me vote Democrat!
Early voting has its advantages. If there hadn’t been any early mail-in votes in Florida in 2000, there probably would have been a few hundred more votes turned away from Bush by the late-hit DUI story, and we’d have had President Gore.
If he thought the perverted morons who support him would be pleased, he'd do it.
Eating a baby is the least thing he'll do if the deluded jackasses put him in the White House.
Voting early is fine if you know what your vote will be. I know who my vote for prez is, and there’s no reason to change it (save something unbelievably extreme, which is what the rather gross quote above refers to with excessive creativity). Nice thing is that early voting persuades people to actually find out what’s on the ballot before it’s too late to do research (like the half-dozen bizzarely-worded initiatives that nobody is ever ready for on Election Day).
Yeah, something might happen to make me vote for 0bama. I could die, I suppose. Then he’d “get” my vote fo sho.
My husband and I are voting early in VA because he is having cancer surgery on 11-3 and we will both have our minds on other things on 11-4. We didn’t want to send in an absentee ballot because we both like the idea of going and casting our vote rather than send in an absentee and possibly doing something wrong, having it lost in the mail, etc.
Early voters will vote the same way on Election Day. Their minds are made up, either way.
Why are the people who proudly state that they voted for McCain early any smarter than the ones who voted for Obama early?
Except, of course, that they agree with you.
But, if they have early voting and allow people to vote after music celebrations, get out the vote drives, etc. It clearly will help BO.
Well... honestly, is there anything that would change YOUR vote? I’m thinking that for most of us here, there would have to be some kind of Invasion of the Body Snatchers to make me vote 0bama.
Or am I sensitive? :-) I’m an early voter — mine was in the mail last week. I hope you’re not dissing early voters.
Um; I think the article is satire, not a real poll. The writer is a self-proclaimed “humorist” and the poll questions and responses relect that.
I’d vote early, but I’m afraid that gives them time to play with it or lose my vote. So I wait for election day.
This is one of the latest elections for me because the sheer number and scope of CA and local propositions (over 300 pages in English voter materials) had been maddening to trudge through.
I realize if I didn't take it as seriously as some (most?), I could vote more quickly but I try to make my best judgments from a range of public debates, online research and reading the proposals.
I’m trying to decide when is the best time to mail in our ballots (we’re all on mail-ins here in WA). I don’t want them received too early because I fear they’ll be dumped in the trash by the Dems in charge of counting them. Maybe closer to the deadline there will be more people watching the counters.
Well, I would imagine all different "kinds" of people vote early.
The thing most would have in common, self included, is that their votes wouldn't be changed by any new information what-so-ever.
Case in point, I voted early and I voted against B.O.
I didn't really care that much for whom I did vote for, but cared deeply that B.O. be defeated.
Early voting is a bad idea. It invites fraud.
