I just wanted to post a quick unofficial Poll as to who you will be voting for in the US Election.

This thread was only intended to be a poll. Not a political discussion. Feel Free to reply with your choice if you want, but please no political arguments, slams or jabs :) Lets keep this a clean and simple poll ;)

I just thought that it would be interesting to find out where all the AN'ers fall and see if we are consistent with other polls out there?

I don't have the power to change a lot of things....but, today I do.

Enough said.

My sister, who is 61, also voted for the very FIRST time in her life today...for Obama.

My BIL voted for McCain.

Going to take a shower, watch old movies and go to bed. The results can wait until the AM.

Much better that I thought, I was there for no more than five minutes.

Me, too. I arrived at our Precinct third in line and five minutes before it opened. The head poll worker, who was communicating electronically with our State's election officials, announced at exactly 7AM: "The polls are NOW open".

i obama'ed early- over a week ago. there was a huge line and a long wait to vote. very encouraging!

and cheerfuldoer- wonderful post!

Obama, Obama, Obama!!!

I truly believe that we need a CHANGE here in America. It is amazing the number of people here in the U.S. and abroad that are rooting for this candidate.

I hope all goes well. All that is fair ends fair. I am praying that America improves and hopefully we can move ahead with higher hopes for all.:thankya:

barack Obama!!!!!!!!!

I am very tense about the election. I am vacilating back and forth between being hopeful, worried, scared, excited, and everything in between.

I picked up my 7 year old from his PE class (it was ending) and his sister and I went to our local Vet's Hall to vote. No line. Took less than 5 minutes. My son got an "I Voted" sticker too. I put it in his baby book when he came home from school and wrote a little bit about this historic election.

My daughter and I voted for McCain/Palin.

(So did the 7 year old - but it doesn't count). :D

That's exactly how i feel and have been feeling for about a week. Worse today of course. My stomach is in knots. I have never ever felt this strongly about a Presidential election. I'm glad to hear that I'm not alone.

me too! my tummy has been in flip flops all day! i am so nervous and excited.

i am actually thinking about calling in sick tomorrow. the girls i work with gave me such heck today about why i made the wrong choice and how obama is the antichrist, even after i begged them to please not push politics on me, and im sure if sen obama wins tonight my life will be miserable tomorrow. i dont know why people cant just respect that sometimes people think differently then they do.

There were, as usual, 2 precincts voting @ the same place; I had to wait a while for the poll worker to finally figure out the guy in front of us needed to go to the other side. It helps if you turn over the sample ballot and check--it is written there! duh.

Same worker tried to give both Juan and I Spanish ballots. I had premarked one of the sample ballots. I shoulda marked them both, Juan took forever, but he marked his own. I had to wait to get it--couldn't remember ALL of my decisions on some of the gazillion propositions!

And, of course, they handed us "I voted" stickers in Spanish. :nono: Oh, well, it IS San Ysidro!

I told myself to vote for McCain, and that's what I did. After watching all of the debates and reading through/comparing issues, I made my choice.

I voted to support values and the constitution - I did not vote with my emotions or on short term issues/perspectives.
