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 actually lived in Arizona during the Lincoln Savings scandal and it was quite ugly to say the least. Many of my patients lost everything and they were retired and were to be living on that money for their rest of their lives. And who was there to try and bail out Charles Keating? None other than good old Mr. McCain as part of the Keating 5.
Funnier now is that even though he has represented Arizona for close to 30 years, Obama is only a few points off from him. What a surprise. When your own state is not for you all of the way, that has to tell you something as well.

I wish my state had early voting. I've had this growing this paranoid feeling that something is going to happen tomorrow to prevent me voting. That worries me. I will feel relieved once my vote is cast.
I feel the same way... so, my plan is to go vote EARLY...like going to the poll station at 5:00am. I am already seeing issues going on with my son. He registered to vote 4 years ago, well within the right timeframe and then, when he went to the poll, had to throw in a provisional ballot. Registered again later the following year. Just this March, we both went to renew our non-driver IDs and he registered on the spot again. Checked on line to see if he was registered in September and he was not listed. Told him to register in school and we checked yet again in early October, not listed. Still not listed, now and he has to go to school tomorrow morning for an exam. I told him that maybe he should get up early with me to go, I'll pay a taxi to get him to class if the line is long, or when he is on his way home, to call me and I'll meet him at the polls. My son is a very introverted person that doesn't speak up or advocate for himself very often. I want to be sure that he at least fills out another provisional one. I am noticing alot of this happening in my neighborhood and workplace to recent registrars that wish to be listed as Democrats. I have a feeling that if many people are facing these issues on Election Day, there may be riots. This is why I want to go early so that I can then volunteer with my uncle to make calls.
My nine year old is off of school tomorrow, so he'll be going with me to the polls. He got a lecture from me today that the way it is in my house is that if you're old enough to vote and don't, you don't get to complain about the outcome. It was great when I got to spend four years cutting my hubby off whenever he tried to complain about the state of the country..."You didn't vote, I'm not listening to it!"
McCain is kind of an afterthought. Hopefully he manages to survive a year while Caribou gets a little experience, and then finds a reason to retire early.

I live in farm country USA which generally votes republican. I am a registered independent because I cannot agree with the entire philosophy of either party. I choose who I vote for by the person and what they stand for as well as how their policies will affect me. This farm girl RN will cast my vote tommorrow morning for OBAMA!
So it would seem the first couple posters were wrong in their presumption of a left-leaning bias in the allnurses population, at least to the extent that in 2004, apparently we were just slightly to the right of the direct popular vote. If the current 2008 allnurses poll numbers hold up, they would represent a remarkable shift.

Guess you can tell who I voted for already.
