Voting in the military is not always easy. Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan might be distracted and forget to register or fill out absentee ballots.

Maybe they will make the difference in November. I would like to know how many votes (state by state) went to Kerry / Bush in 2004.

Yes...My wife and I sent in our McCain vote from South Africa this past week.

That's at least two. And I am proud to be one of those absentee voters helping President Bush in 2000 when Gore tried to get rid of my brothers and sisters votes from the Navy.

I forgot to bring mine in today, so I’ll have to mail it in tomorrow.

Participation is one thing.
Having your overseas vote counted is another.

The Dems will work against the latter, no matter how much we work for the former.

My ballot has arrived here in Japan.

Everything is filled out from local alderman right up to the Congressional race, ballot initiatives, bonds, the works.

Fedex pack is just waiting to be sent.

Only thing left is punching the ballot for Electors for President of the United States.

For me it boils down to three men and one day.

Barr. Baldwin. McCain. (McCain would not even be on this list were it not for Sarah Palin).

The day? Wednesday a.m. our time, at the conclusion of debate # Two.

It is all up to McCain now. If he surprises me and follows the G.O.P. Conservative Base and Sarah Palin's urging, laying into this Obama character and makes a good faith effort to utterly clean his clock, going after Obambi on all his rotten socialism, communism, ties to terrorists, etc., he will have earned a modicum of respect, and I will consider sending that off marked for McCain.

But, if he plays moderate/conciliatory Mr. Reach-Across Joe Niceguy, lets Obama get away with murder (Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, ACORN, Trinity Church, Weathermen Terrorism, Odinga in Kenya, Obama's suspicious and massive foreign donation money trail overseas, etc.) before the American people live on TV, then in my opinion, Senator McCain is nothing more than a RINO who neither needs nor deserves this Conservative American's vote. If he won't fight for me, why should I fight for him, with all apologies to Sarah Palin--great person that she is.

Sorry, but that's how it goes for AiT.

Anyone is free to vigorously lobby me via Freepmail on behalf of McCain, Barr or Baldwin, I will keep an open mind until the point of no return, and I will respond. But after after Wednesday our time here, Tuesday night there in the USA, it goes in the express, certified mail to the USA, and that wil be the end of that.

Back when Jimmy Carter was elected, my husband's absentee ballot was never delivered. There were 140,000 troops deployed for a training mission and the ballots were stuck on a ship until after the election. They did it back then too.

And a follow-up headline may well read: Common Sense Foundation Predicts Unprecedented Number of Overseas and Military Ballots "Lost" or Uncounted

The amount of democrat voter fraud in this election will dwarf 2000 and 2004. The liberals can taste a big win for socialism, and will stop at absolutely nothing to push it through.

I voted for Sarah via registered mail today.
