Lucky. I'm voting regardless, but my state has always been very, very blue. Especially with Baiden running for vice, everyone is voting Obama. So I know, regardless of wether or not I vote blue, that's going to be the turnout from my state (Delaware). Doesn't mean I won't vote, though. Some key minor seats are up for grabs this term.

If you don't vote, you don't get to complain. If you hate both of the primary candidates, then vote for a third or "Mickey Mouse" if he's on your ballot.
You gotta get your mark in there, if nothing else but to say "I care about the system enough to participate, but y'all suck." You'll feel a lot better about yourselves when the news comes on and you don't have to hear that only 58% of your voting population came out.
And as unfair as it is, a lot of how the entire world's gonna be run the next four years is gonna depend on how this turns out. So we're all watchin' ya guys.

My family ordered absentee ballots to avoid the aggravation of trying to make it to the polls, so I've already filled out my ballot. Just have to mail it off.

Way ahead of you -- already know who I am voting for (in the national election and most of our local elections), and I am also planning on putting the kibosh on a bunch of state propositions. Good times!

Shame I can't vote yet. But when I can, I will. And I'll urge everyone I know that's old enough to vote to just do it. :]

Indeed. If people are going to grumble about how this country is run, then they better be sure to vote. :P

YES! Go register! Tell your friends to register! Lest I spam you with more political jingles. Heck, I'll even make Obama/McCain ones if it needs be.
