I got my absentee ballot and wouldn’t ya know…there were 11 OTHER sets of candidates running for president, including women, and TA DA, good old Ralph Nadar. I have to give him a little high five for sticking it out every 4 years as a candidate, even though he is like 105 years old and always spends his own cash.
I know that there has been a LOT of fights between people on who they are voting for and aside from my little sign stunt, we tried to stay clear of presidential debates here on MomDot. I believe that its amazing that so many people are passionate about voting and THAT is what I am going to focus on. Whatever you believe, whatever you stand for, GOOD FOR YOU for stepping up and signing your name, or bubbling a bubble, or whatever it is that you do in your town, for a candidate you believe is best for our country.
(what the hell is the prohibition party?)
After spending 7.5 years in the service, I can honestly say I am proud of who we are and where we are going as a country and I will follow as I LOVE America. Everything about AMERICA. Especially that I don’t have to ask for ice in my drinks like you do in Britain. And especially Marines. In uniform.
So, here is a Mr. Linky. Whomever votes tomorrow (or has voted) please proudly sign your name and share with the world that you took the time to VOTE and exercise your Constitutional rights and what makes this country great! And if your standing there and are not sure who to vote for, you can write my name in the Write In section. I wont let you down.

Hubby and I stood in line for an hour on Saturday for early voting- Go Obama!
I voted absentee, felt to good to get it over with and avoid the rush. This is a big election in many ways
Some family members have agreed to disagree this election. Whether I agree with you or not, it’s just great we took the time to vote.
I voted and I took my children with me!!
Voted the First week of Early Voting! Glad to be home and enjoy CNN, etc…today, but kinda missed the excitment of being out on the Day of, but I am cool with that still.
I stood in line for two hours this morning to vote at my local Los Angeles polling place. When I picked up my sons from school today they were SO excited to see my “I voted” sticker.
I voted today! I feel so good!
I voted last week!
I went in today to get my “I voted” sticker, but they’re not handing them out here.
There was NO line, either!
Ugh that link was supposed to say Leah – voted absentee yesterday 11/3/08 but I hit the wrong button and ended up leaving my original link
Voting was quick and easy for us. The longest part was walking to the polls. I was only in line for maybe 2 minutes, and when I left, there was no line.
Voting took us about 40 minutes between the lines and the process in general. We have the ones where you use a pencil to darken a circle.
How long did it take you?
What kind of voting system do you have?
mmmm Marines! I voted the last week but the husband is offshore and I didn’t even think about getting him an absentee ballot before he left. I feel horrible.
My kids have impeccable timing. I was up between midnight and 4am with one or the other, and it’s now noon and I’m just now getting my toddler down for a nap. I would have had to drive an hour and a half to vote at the old house since we missed the change of address deadline with the move. Little did we know I’d be a zombie and unfit to be on the road and DH would be in NJ. Now I wish we’d gotten absentee ballots or something.
I hope everyone votes! It is our right and priveledge.
My stomach is in knots. Living overseas, today’s results are super important to me. Can’t wait for it to be over and find out who will be running the country next.
I’ll second the Marines
I’m sure tomorrow will be a day to remember.
I cannot wait to vote tomorrow. I took the morning off just in case. I am so glad to be a part of history.
Wit woo and yummers to Marines

It feels like Christmas Eve to me, well at least the butterflies in my stomach… I can’t wait to go cast my vote!!! Either way, history will be made tomorrow, and all of us get to be part of it, how truly wonderful!
I do feel kinda of bad, this the 2nd election I’ve been able to vote in since turning 18 and I’ve never even registered to vote. Gasp…yeah, I hear it from my husband as well. In all honesty, the first time was because I didn’t know how to even register or where to vote (sad I know). This year though…there isn’t a candidate that I can put my vote towards because I dislike them equally. Neither one shares enough of my personal views to tilt me either way.
Ya know – I got my absentee ballot early last week, but there were only 3 parties on there. I had heard that there were more running, but for some reason, I only had 3 choices and the write in. Who knows – could be the hick town I live in, but it would have been nice to have at least seen them all… not that it would have changed my vote, but still.
I did vote. I’m not allowed to leave the house (because of the baby), so I sent in my absentee ballot early. Drives me crazy when people don’t vote but feel they have the right to complain about who gets elected!
Ok – off my soap box!
He never gives up, eh?
