..real quick- just want to say "Thank You!" to everyone that bothered to vote. This is what makes our country the greatest one on the planet. I mean that. JB
That's one of the reasons voting is so important ! Every liberal vote counts, so does every conservative & every moderate. Those with the most votes win !
I voted. Some of the candidates I voted for won. And some did not. The system still works. Unfortunately, there were a couple of the local races where there was only the incumbent running. No competition. That is not good.
The ladies running the local poll said they had never seen such a large voter turnout, even during a presidential election. I think people are sick of the way things are and trying to do something about it.
The representative in my district ran unopposed. Usually they put someone up to run against him, even though he always wins. We got lucky enough to live in the little piece of land that connects two high concentration areas that this dumbo represents It is disheartening to see races with no opposition. Where's the fun in that?
Still some counting going on here for Governor . Pretty much conservative candidates won here. incumbent Begeich (Dem) lost to Sulivan (Rep ) for US Senate. Young won, still our lone House of Rep member. Marijuana won Republicans still majority in our State Legislature.
No, we are not. This thread has been about getting out and voting, not about who to vote for or who you did.
Looks like Maine is the winner Check out the map, highlight a state and then click view data. http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/data-mine/2014/11/05/midterm-turnout-decreased-in-all-but-12-states So as our Guvnah is fond of saying "Kiss my butt" I was perfect, I voted for all the LOOSERS
But the throw the president in jail comments are ok?.... I'm not a huge fan but I dont hate him either - but you cant deny that's political. ( i dunno why im in a fiesty mood today )
