Why are we always waiting on Florida? <BR/>2. I only sorta get the whole electoral vote thing... is it possible to win by actual number of votes while losing by the number electoral votes, or does winning one give you the other?<BR/><BR/>1. Old people have trouble making decisions and the other people in the state are wearing Mickey-Mouse ears.<BR/>2. Yeah, so the # of real votes you get don't matter . . . ever. It's all in the electoral votes. Check the total votes from the 2004 and 2000 elections . . . interestingHTFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912773044468480757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9666550.post-63105597200952675572008-11-06T00:10:00.000-06:002008-11-06T00:10:00.000-06:00Here's a note I got from AaronL last night:I absol...Here's a note I got from AaronL last night:<BR/><BR/>I absolutely laughed out loud at the Ann Curry hologram too. I was looking for R2D2. Is R2D2 a democrat? Sure he is. He’s blue collar worker that has many other droids constantly vying for his position in the X Wing fighter and he has a “questionable” life mate in C3PO. I digress…<BR/> <BR/>This democratic “tentative” landslide victory is indicative of the soiled reputation/image that Republicans now must deal with largely thanks to Bush. I have to wonder if he is sitting at home thinking to himself… “Is this my fault? Did I just bring down my entire party?” The interesting thing is, I think it is but it’s not completely justified. Just to play devil’s advocate here… I don’t think the everyday person does the adequate research to find the actual causes of certain negative or positive events in our country and government. They see what is in front of them and make their judgment. I am definitely guilty. For instance, many of the credit deregulations happened during the Clinton era believe it or not, however Bush is taking all the heat. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like Bush and never have but it is somewhat interesting. Also Democrats have controlled Congress for over two years now and this economic collapse happened on their watch also. Have they done anything for you lately? With all that said, I voted Obama because I didn’t think McCain was genuine at all and would say anything or court any constituency to win. Also, the guy is older than Velcro and Palin makes Bush look like Albert Einstein. President Palin makes me shudder.HTFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912773044468480757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9666550.post-45203599865108236552008-11-04T22:25:00.000-06:002008-11-04T22:25:00.000-06:00Thought that turning off our cable this week was b...Thought that turning off our cable this week was bad timing but it sounds like we have not missed much. <BR/><BR/>Silly questions if anyone is still going on this thing... <BR/><BR/>1.
