The real winner in this election

[LivelyLissa]

If the initial stories are true, I think the real winner in this election is the American voter. I've always been ashamed that so few Americans vote. The fact that so many people have become re-engaged in the election process is a victory for all of us, no matter who wins.

That is so true, we the American People are the real winners no matter who wins. It is nice to see our fellow Americans coming out to vote.

 

[akhenaten]

i agree!!!!

I beg to differ. The real winner is the media. It controlled the outcome from Day One. Congrats! Mission accomplished!

I'd see the media as the losers. They've lost all credibility and are bleeding money.

You are right. I am impressed and amazed to hear of the long lines to vote today. That is a good thing no matter who wins, the more people involved the better.

Advertisers. Just think about how much money they made on political ads.

So, so true!

I hope all the hype is true about how many people are actually voting. I didn't see any long lines this morning but I heard about several. I was able to walk right in to vote.

God Bless America!

I also agree with you.

I agree with that. I believe they are all B**bs.

We took DD3 with us to vote and stressed that fact that we were VERY lucky to be able to vote in our country. She doesn't 'really' get it yet, but I am hopefully laying the groundwork for her to become a concerned citizen who knows that her vote can make a difference!

Yay USA!

I don't necessarily think the real winner is the voter, many are voting for the wrong reasons.

Im very happy to see more voters come out but Im disappointed at the lack of voter integrity and responsibility I see. Too many people still do not take their responsibility seriously. I saw too many people going to vote not even realizing there were other choices to make besides President. Too many people that hadn't taken the time to inform themselves of the voting issues. Too many people that hadn't taken the time to make sure they were compliant with local election rules as well as making sure their registrations were correct (which I do before every election).

As much as I love people exercising this extraordinary priviledge , I wish I could see it seen as a responsibility as well.

This doesn't mean people don't just that too many still do not. This, of course, is JMO

I agree 100%.

I'm thrilled there has been such a huge turn-out.

I like to think that the turn out will put our leaders on edge and make them realize we the people are a "Sleeping Giant" who should be respected en masse.

It's refreshing to see so many young voters finally. Even my kids finally registered when they could have 2 years ago.

 

[mumom95]

I agree

 

[rabyoga]

I"m glad to see so many people vote. But we need to get rid of the Electoral College- Then our votes will REALLY count!!!

I totally agree with that!

I'm so happy that the turnout has been so high!
