I voted for Obama, yo.

[bushmeister0]

{If you're from Philly you'll know how to pronounce "yo" correctly.)

Yes, I wasn't too terribly excited about having to do it, but Hillary is just too objectionable to me.

I hope he wins big today so we can see the back of the Clinton mafia for good. A vote for Obama is a vote against aristocracy!

I've heard some voting machines are breaking down in West Philly, but I don't think there's any conspiracy afoot, today. The one I used was so antiquated Ben Frankin probably used it once, too. Creeky old voting machines in Philly is nothing new.

As I noted yesterday, the Hillary people just weren't out there, the place was lousy with the Obama people, though. I think they were just more orginaized and motivated. Motivated in a scary Moonie kind of way, but motivated nonetheless.

19. Haha agreed. I kinda want to visit Iran someday. The people seem pretty cool.

[Terran]

35. They are.

I've known several Iranians in my lifetime and they are good people. Generous and life-loving, like most ME cultures. And they have a *beautiful* country.

13. If your fellow Obama supporters had their way

you wouldn't have voted. They wanted to stop all voting. Remember?

[grantcart]

14. great thanks

[nichomachus]

17. Probably because

the place was lousy with the Obama people, though. I think they were just more orginaized and motivated. Motivated in a scary Moonie kind of way, but motivated nonetheless.

I don't know how old you are, but I remember when people used to be motivated about the candidates they were supporting.

In the last 20 years or so, we've fallen into the habit of having to hold our noses to vote for "the least worst candidate." People dragged themselves to the polls and consoled themselves with thoughts of "Well, at least he's not a vampire -- I think."

So, I realize that for many people seeing people who are truly excited about a candidate could be scary.

[bushmeister0]

23. Oh whatever, I used to be motivated, too, but after 25 years of voting for

the shit the democratic party puts out there as candidates, I find it very difficult to get excited anymore.

I didn't hold my nose when I voted for Obama, I like him, but you know . . . whatever.

[nichomachus]

Yeah, but a lot of Obama people

aren't as cynical as you and I. They're coming at this fresh and they're excited.

I saw this with JFK -- because he represented a break with the old men who used to run for office. Prior to JFK all the candidates looked alike. It was hard to tell them from the old farts who used to stand on top of the Kremlin on May Day. When JFK ran -- and won -- it was like a new page had been turned. People were really excited. That's why people were so devastated when the fascists murdered him.

[bushmeister0]

31. Well, I hope the whole country goes moonie crazy for Obama, cuz if

Mcshame gets in it's all over.

[FunkyLeprechaun]

18. Thanks!

Good for you!

[Eurobabe]

21. Yo, from West Chester, good on ya!

:hi:

[bushmeister0]

24. Go get a water ice.

[bushmeister0]

32. Of course.

[mystieus]

22. Thank you, bushmeister0

[knixphan]

26. I'll take scary moonie

over scary Bushie.

GOBAMA!

[bushmeister0]

27. I agree, let's hope the Hillary people are just as excited when the GE comes.

[Hope And Change]

29. K & R!

:kick:

[thewiseguy]

30. Thanks a million!

[TheDonkey]

34. Yay!

[Zachstar]

38. Thank you for voting! And glad the "creeky old voting" machines are still being used.

Once Obama gets elected I want to get an effort going to ask the .gov to form a fully public effort to design and standardize a powerless voting machine. As if everyone is working on it. Flaws can be discovered and exposed before they end up affecting elections.

[Tatiana]

39. GOOD JOB! Thanks for the info. n/t

[TragedyandHope]

40. K & R! We're happy to have your vote

even if you had to hold your nose to do it.

[ScarletSniper]

41. "The one I used was so antiquated Ben Frankin probably used it once, too"

:rofl:

[Justitia]

43. Yo! Love your line about the Franklin voting machines. Eat a cheesesteak & a "witter" ice for me!

I love Philly, I was born there (NE Philly - Yo Mayfair!), family is still there.
