Hey...it said do the RIGHT thing!
If doing the RIGHT thing is an example of the far LEFT and RIGHT thinking folks are LEFT wing - then things are going to get VERY confused!!!

I want to live in a country where as many people as possible are healthy, educated and productive. I think I know which candidate is more likely to move us in this direction, and I just voted for him this morning.--Percy

I didn't think Hilary Clinton was running.Or a man.

They're both puppets for C'thulhu and his dark minions. Soon the master will reign over the Earth, enjoy your false choice America!

If you don't vote, you can't complain= Gozer the Gozerian telling the ghost busters to choose the form of their destroyer. Many Shubs and Zulls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of a Sloar that day, I can tell you!

There's a joke in there somewhere about the right hand not knowing what the left is doing....The "right thing" is to vote and the implication is to vote sensibly. For much of "The Rest of the World", that would be farther left than Obama.When baby steps are the only option you have, you take baby steps.

I think Syed Wali Shah would agree.

If you are NOT in a swing state, there ARE other options: Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein

I like her, what little I know of her.But not enough to help split the vote. That can only help Romney.

This morning I voted for Obama because I do not feel that I can trust a word that comes from the other candidate. After seeing how often Mitt has changed his words, I feel I must go for the lesser of two evils, which is Obama. This is another reason I cannot vote for the Republicans. So much hate toward other groups has been spewed out of that party within the last few months that frankly, they scare the daylights outta me!However, Obama was actually my second choice as far as president was concerned. I was a very big fan of Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate. I feel that he has some great progressive ideas that would actually benefit the country. Also, my vote for Obama will count for about zero, since I live in Arizona, which is a Super-Red State.In all honesty, I am not sure either of the main two candidates for President are that great and so it was not a main concern of mine. As an Arizona resident, my first main concern for this election is to do my part in hopefully removing Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his posse of hooligans that have been running our sheriff's office for too long. He has cost this state far too much money, has made too many deals under the table with family and friends for government contracts, and (while I believe prisoners should not be treated great) he has treated prisoners inhumanely, some of which has ended in deaths. It is time for Arizona to clean up this trash that has littered our state for too long. (Bonus=After the whole Birther thing, even a lot of Republicans have turned on Sheriff Joe, so it might finally be the year!!!!) I find education is one of my key points that I care about and I feel that the Dems are more concerned with that aspect. This is the other reason that I leaned toward Obama and away from Romney.Edited by Tempe 12ft Chicken, : No reason given.

Mitt Romney has personally raped and killed several children.
A vote for Romney is a vote for paedophiles!Do you want your children sexually abused and killed?!
No?
Then vote Obama.(I'll provide photos of dead children later...)

That isn't a baby step; it's more like a journey of a thousand miles.

This is where it gets interesting. If the electoral college ties at 269-269, then the House of Representatives gets to select the president on a one state/one vote basis. Basically, all of the representatives from a state get together and make a decision on whic candidate to support. Essentially a vote.Since most states have more Republican representatives than democratic ones, Mitt would probably be the victor in such a scenario.However, the Senate gets to choose the Vice President, and since more states have Democratic senators than Republican ones, the Vice President would probably stay Biden.That would be a hollow victory for Democrats, as the VP only has as much power as the President gives him (with the sole exception of breaking ties in the Senate).

I hope I never grow so old that I can't tell the difference between right and wrong. Funny, though, that you usually accuse us of moral relativism. "Can't see the water in which you swim", indeed.

Looks like Wisconsin did the right thing.

Almost certainly, the fairly long trend of voter rejection when same sex marriage is at stake is going to come to an end today.The referendum in Maine would legalize same sex marriage.
The vote in Maryland is to repeal or leave in place legislative action to allow same sex marriage.
Minnesota is attempting to pass an amendment to their constitution that would ban same sex marriages.
Washington state referendum is yes/no vote on question of whether same sex marriage should be legalized.
