HOLY CRAP, MY DAD JUST WENT TO VOTE!

[THUNDER HANDS]

My dad hasn't voted in an election in over 20 years. He just left with my mom to go vote. Holy Cow, if HE'S going to vote, and vote Dem, we're going to win in a landslide!

A couple of days ago I wrote here that it would be easier to get him to his own execution than a voting booth. Well, looks like the execution will have to wait!

:bounce:

I'm so happy!

1. That's a good thing

Every vote helps

2. Way to go, Dad!

[I Have A Dream]

3. That's great news! Is he still registered?

(In my state, if you don't vote for a certain period of time, you have to register again. I hope that this isn't the case in your state.)

:woohoo:

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. yes he is

when I voted this morning before school i saw his name on the list above mine and below my mom's and my uncle's.

oh what a glorious night this is going to be!

4. That's GREAT news! I hope he tells all his friends, and they

feel the same way you do. If HE voted, then I guess I better too!

5. The Magic Rat Dad poll says Landslide, rofl.

6. for the first time since I don't know when

my dad is voting Dem in Florida. He hates politicians and is not fond of the Dems at all, so I take that as a good sign.

21. My Floridian aunt is a staunch Republican

And when I talked to her last week she told me she was voting straight Dem for the first time in her life (she's 80).

7. Tell your Dad and Mom thank you

[smoogatz]

8. Let the wave roll on!

Maybe it'll really happen. I'm cautiously optimistic--which aside from outrage, horror and despair is the default emotional setting for Democrats these days.

10. Good.

[Sanity Claws]

11. Please let us know whether he was able to vote

I hate to sound like the voice of doom or gloom but some people who have not voted in a few years have had their names erased from the voting roles. I hope he can vote!

[THUNDER HANDS]

12. i checked the rolls this morning

everyone is my family is able to vote. And apparently we're all democrats. yay.

[Gregorian]

13. Hehehe! Good news.

Really, waking up is good.

I admit that I didn't know what a midterm election was, before 2000. And that is why we are where we are. We slept.

14. What a terrific story.

Good for your Dad.



GO DEMS!

My 85 year old grandmother, who hasn't voted since she voted for Carter in '80, voted today in Maryland.

23. The times, they are a changin' K and R

Whoo Hooo!

[Virginia Dare]

24. My "better" half voted this year for the first time in ages...

the last Democrat he liked was Gephardt, and he knows if he votes for a Republican he's staring divorce in the face. He voted for Webb today! YAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

[formercia]

25. Great story

I hope Millions of others will do the same. This is the kind of thing that can drive the pollsters crazy.

I suspect there will be a big young voter wave as well.

Sandbag the GOP.

[The Backlash Cometh]

26. If he hasn't voted in 20 years,

his registration may not be up to date...
