Obama
I voted the other day. I voted Obama for president, and a mix of libertarian, democratic and republican candidates for all the other offices. Mostly I tried voting out wackaloons. I was disappointed that I couldn't vote out Gail Lowe from the Texas board of education. It turns out that the part of Bell county that I am in, is in a different district than hers. My district here didn't have a board member up for election. Voting for Obama is kind of a throw away vote in Texas since it's so republican (Big Oil + Bible Belt = Republican), but maybe McCain and Palin will do something really stupid to piss off Texas and my vote will actually help...we'll see.

We're crossing our fingers for you guys.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
ReplyDeleteWell, I do live in Lowe's district, so I get to cast at least one vote to try to get rid of her. I'm a bit more traditional, though, so I won't be casting my vote until tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I'm going to vote a straight Democratic ticket. I did research all the candidates individually, so it's not a mindless straight ticket. And I'm not terribly excited by a lot of the people I'll be voting for, either. Even our Democrats down here in Texas are a little too conservative on some issues for my liking. It was more a matter of picking the lesser of two evils.
I suppose I could vote for third party candidates, like the Libertarians, but as Kang would say, "Go ahead, throw your vote away."
Hey Boopie I am so glad that we voted for Obama. I have a really good feeling about him especially after reading the article in my Parenting magazine about his family life. I love you and miss you oxoxoxxxx
