My wife reckons that Obama is Aslan, so all will be well.

Obama
I will be voting for Obama and I've heard that Nevada is likely to go for Obama as well. We have a large rural community, which is decidedly Conservative, but the more liberal Reno and Las Vegas tend to dominate the state.

I've already voted, but the vote for president was thrown away just by my living in Texas.

Not completely thrown away. Can you imagine the right for the next four years if Obama wins the electoral college but loses the popular vote? It won't be pretty. I mean, they're never pretty, but this would be worse. Every vote for Obama helps avert that.

From the posts here you'd think that Obama would be winning with 100% of the vote.
(Didn't Saddam do that?)
It would help if folks here realized that there are legitimate differences of opinion.

Which posts would that be?

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison. Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)
The apathy of the people is enough to make every statue leap from its pedestal and hasten the resurrection of the dead. William Lloyd Garrison.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. Frederick Douglass

Now that is just an idiotic statement. No one has stated such a thing and to equate him to Saddam is rude, insulting and un-american.

I'm merely reacting to the posts here that imply that all right thinking people will of course be voting for Obama.
You folks don't realize how you sound--you're off in your own echo chambers so much that you don't realize that about half the country doesn't share your opinions.
You folks need to get out more.

Now you are just lying. That isn't at all what your first post stated.
All anyone that posted did was express their support for Obama. No one said anything about the competition or those who are supportive of them. Stop lying about what was said in this thread.
You folks don't realize how you sound--you're off in your own echo chambers so much that you don't realize that about half the country doesn't share your opinions.
You folks need to get out more.
Stop. You are making yourself sound like a wingnut. You are embarrassing yourself. Of course we do. That is why we are having the conversation about how close things are in NC and WI and that TX is lost to Obama. If we didn't realize it was close we wouldn't be pushing people to vote.
You really need to listen to how you sound. It ain't pretty.

And you folks also need to listen to how you sound.
I hear this same kind of thing a lot in academia, where it is assumed that all right thinking people share the same opinion, and that opinion is the far left.
If you aren't aware of how glaring it sounds for political statements--almost universally far left--to be thrown into casual academic discourse, you should be.

Far left? Far left? Where exactly is a post you consider to be far left?

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Is that irony? Or some sort of cognitive dissonance thing?

Where exactly is a post you consider to be far left?
The opening post, "Do the right thing" -- as if there were only one choice. That's not a centrist opinion.
If that's isn't an example of the far left I don't know what is.
There was no "Vote for Obama because he has done... or will do..."
It was "Do the right thing" as in no other choices are permitted among "right thinking" folks.
Really, you folks need to stop thinking that your opinions are the only ones out there, and the only ones that are correct. It gets really old after about 45 years or so.
