Election Day Discussion & Coverage

[Tyler]

I know some of you aren't old enough to vote, but may still take an interest in politics. So, if you are eligible to vote, will you tomorrow?

I already did my absentee ballot and returned it. In Pennsylvania, there are a few big races being watched. Governor Rendell is not running for reelection, and it's a pretty close race between (D) Dan Onorato and (R) Tom Corbett, who surprisingly are both from Pittsburgh. Dan Onorato is the current Allegheny County Executive, and Tom Corbett the current Attorney General. The other big race is the (R) Pat Toomey and (D) Joe Sestak, which in my opinion is also too close to call.

What are the big races in your area?

[Lightning]

I am above the age of 18, which means I am elgible to vote and will do so in tomorrow's election. The governor's race in Alabama, I am not too happy about. As always, my choice in the lesser of two evils. Neither candidate are conservatives, Ron Sparks (D) and Robert Bently (R). I am considering writing in the candidate I voted for in the primary earlier this year.

[Anistorm]

I will be voting first thing in the morning before heading to school.

I really HATE talking about politics publicly, but there's one issue that worries me for the sake of my college: Measure J. Basically it means "IVC wants more money". and they'll spend the money to modernize the whole campus so they can give future students benefits of a better campus. I say, wtf...what about the students of the PRESENT? I'll be leaving the school if that measure passes.

Anyways, in CA, the huge races here are for Governor and for the CA Senate. Last time I heard, Attorney General Jerry Brown (D) is leading the polls by 10 points, ahead of former eBay CEO Meg Whitman (R). For Senate, Barbara Boxer, is leading against former HP CEO Carly Fiorina by 4 points.

Tomorrow is going to be a looooooong day.

I wish I could vote because this midterm election is very important especially our governor race between Roy Barnes (D) and Nathan Deal (R) it's pretty close, close enough to be a run off if Deal doesn't get the 50% or higher percentage to win (God I hope he doesn't) but unfortunately I'm about 22 days too late, I don't turn 18 until the 24th. 

[Mr. Rainman]

I don't turn 18 until the 20th, and I wish I could vote in the South Carolina governer's race. The battle Jim DeMint and the no-name, no-political background Democrat? Well, you can probably guess who's winning that one.

I think it would be pretty funny if he actually won  , I haven't been paying much attention to him recently, but I'm still baffled as to how he got on the ballot. Didn't he have some kind of an indictment pending on him?

So, if you are eligible to vote, will you tomorrow?

What are the big races in your area?

Heck yah! I don't think there are any "big" races in my area, though. However, in 2012, Senator Ben Nelson will (likely) be running for re-election. Assuming we get a conservative to run against him, that will probably be a tight race. Then again, maybe not. He was one of the Democrats that caved on the healthcare bill at the last minute, earlier this year. And from what I understand, there are numerous Democrats (who voted for him) that weren't happy about that.

I wish i could vote too but NJ afaik, isn't having any major elections.

I forgot to mention the race for Attorney General Ken Hodges (D) and Sam Olens (R) iirc is getting tight, the race for Lt. Governor of GA I'm not sure how it's looking right now, but I think the democrat nominee Carol Porter might beat her Republican opponent Casey Cagle who's up for reelection. Maybe it's just me, but there is some serious overkill with all the republican candidates ads here, I hardly see any from democrats except for those running for gov. and attorney general. I saw an ad from a republican candidate running for agricultural commissioner, I didn't know such a thing existed.

Funny? Really?

I don't know about you, but I certainly don't want that kind of power in the hands of someone that's crazy.

I wouldn't either, but he shouldn't have been allowed to run in the first place.

You do know that every House seat is up for election

Wait until 2013, you and I can probably both expect a HUGE governor election after all the actions Christie has done in his nine months in office so far.

This video is so true...

Stop attacking teachers and education, and start funding our schools

[TWCToday]

In regards to this election, we have given the Democrats a chance to turn things around and its clear that was a poor decision. Tomorrow will be a great day!

That is what you think. But not this time!    The republicans screwed America over big time for 8 years, forcing us into the worst recession in any of our lifetimes, and we have only just started to recover from that mess.  Yes, tomorrow will be a great day. For the democrats!!! We got a bunch of surprises up our sleeves tomorrow.  I will be so happy to see the haters eat crow!
