When I reregistered a couple months ago, the girl had me mark some box so I could vote absentee. She told me that way I could have the option of voting from hom OR going to the polls. As it turns out, when I got my ballot material, i am a PERMANENT absentee voter! WTF?!
NOW HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET MY NIFTY VOTER STICKER?!?!

I have serious doubts as to whether absentee votes are actually counted in all elections.

Nancy will make a really great Speaker!!
i don't know if i can agree. i am under the impression that she is fiercely partisan. i want results, not "now we have 'political capital' and we are going to ram it down everybody's throats."

Not about election results, but here's a prediction (and an interesting essay): The Coming Rebellion

Well, I've read some pretty anti-American stuff on this board before, but this article Becka has linked to may take the cake. Soldiers are unable to achieve victory, hate the Iraqi people, and will be disloyal; officers are treasonous, cowardly, and a bit nutty. Nice. Quote:
When, one wonders, will mutiny begin among the troops in Iraq? ...Next year, I'd guess. ... we simply cannot win. ...the Iraqis hate us and we, them ... our tactics don’t work and we can’t win... An officer’s loyalty is to his career, and to the officer corps, not to the country or to his troops.... There is a curious moral cowardice among officers.... Officers remind me of armed Moonies.

Oh boy. Here we go... I'm going to agree to disagree with that statement.

I don't like it. I can't imagine that anybody does.

I don't watch any Olberman. And making snarky comments doesn't really seem to be in line with agreeing to disagree.
I am going to have to agree to disagree with you there, Sweetpeas.

Actually, I didn't realize that. I mean, there are a FEW people that I'm sure I'm smarter than...but not everyone.

I think the Dems will surely take the House. I am not anywhere near so certain about the Senate, however. I think the Rebulicans will hold Montana and Virginia, and it looks as if they may pick up New Jersey. That will take some of the sting out of losing Ohio and Pennsylvania.
I have to disagree with Montana. Senator Burns' opponent has led the race the entire way, and while the Senator has closed in on his opponent, I honestly believe that the Dems will win there. The same with Virginia...even though Senator Allen has led all the way (mostly), his attacks look as if they're backfiring, and the publicity of his staffers assaulting a heckler (like hecklers or not, they don't deserve to be physically assaulted)can not be a good thing. I agree with Bob Novak...the Dems will likely gain 5 seats...with control of the Senate being decided in Missouri and Tennessee...

Payback is a *&^%^
in 6 years can you be one of the liberal voters i can use as example of people that only care about the "team" winning?
we can have all of the ideological and philosophical differences in the world about how the government should operate but my "team" will always be the USA. i want US to win and we are not winning when we are at political civil war all the time.

I have a smartass comment that I think would crack you up, but it would be nasty to someone else (no sense in collateral damage to semi-innocent posters) so I'll let it go. 
There are no innocent posters - their usernames were conceived in original sin. But, you'll have to PM me, I suppose.
