Plans for Election Night - (Not Political)!

[DWGal210]

Carly, I 100% agree. Whatever your political persuasion, VOTE. It's something we really take for granted.

And, if you choose not to vote, I better not hear you whining about the elected officials. (collective you meant here)

Politics are a big deal in my family so we'll be watching the returns tonight for sure! DH will likely be camped out on the PC and I'll be switching channels between all the news networks to see how things are going. Both of us are headed to the polls in about an hour and will wear our "I voted" stickers proudly all day to remind others to vote after work if they didn't get it in before work.

It's so hard to drum up excitement in others for a mid-term. But I think it's important that everyone exercise the right that our forefathers fought and died for. Who's actually out there voting is the way I weed out the true Patriots vs. those who just fly the flag, give lip service and call themselves Patriots. If someone can't be "inconvenienced" by voting in an election, then I take their words about how they feel about America with less credibility that I'd take someone else's words.

Idk. . but I will definitely be celebrating the end of all these political ads!!!

My daughter and I were cracking up in the car yesterday. I live in Washington and the Patty Murray/Dino Rossi ads have been non-stop. An ad came on the radio and I was doing a voice over of it.

Cue doom and gloom music:
In a foreboding voice: Dino Rossi didn't wave at a neighbor once. He is therefore a serial killer and has several young boys buried in his backyard. Don't vote for him.
Cue happy springtime music:
Hi, I'm Patty Murray and I support this ad.


We were on a role. Cue scary movie music:
Patty Murray sneezed in church once. She is surely the spawn of the devil, drinks blood and wants to eat your babies.
Cue lullaby music:
Vote for Dino Rossi. This ad was brought to you by Preschool Teachers for Rossi.

I'll be so glad when it's over! But I guess we will have to find new sources of material.

I agree, and I think this mid term is one of the more exciting ones!
my dh will be camped out switching between fox, cnn, msnbc, to get the different views.
I will be carting kids to gymnastics, but after we get home later it will be after 8 pm, I plan to watch ( and switch back and forth to the dancing results too, LOL)

I just hope I get to vote!

I got called into work on Monday and sent to Memphis to work until today. I'll be back tonight, but I won't get to my car until 7ish... I am unsure if the polls close at 8 or 9.

Just hoping I make it!
