It all comes down to you in the booth. All by yourself.
Ramblings' Journal ^ | 11.1.04 | Michael King

Posted on 11/01/2004 8:41:36 PM PST by mhking

All the polls are done, all the campaigning is about over, all the mudslinging is finished, the yelling is all but completed.

Tomorrow, we begin a process that denizens of other nations either do not understand, despise, or envy. We get to particpate directly in the election of those who will lead us as a nation and as a community. Those who admire our process look at it with a measure of hope. Those who hate the process and what it represents would insist that it is the death of us all.

This year's election promises to be among the closest in history. And if the outcome tomorrow is as close as the polls suggest, we may not have an answer to who has won right away.

There are literally thousands of lawyers prepared to file suit as soon as Wednesday morning to challenge whatever the outcome is.

And of course, I'll be here with my two cents as the process continues, whatever the outcome.

I've made no secret of who I'll be supporting tomorrow and why.

It doesn't matter who you support tomorrow; no matter who you do not support. What does matter is that you exercise your right; your responsibility to go out and vote.

It all comes down to you, standing by yourself, in the booth with your decisions. Consider and decide well. And then make your voice -- and your vote -- heard.

I just don't believe it'll be that close. But it's up to the booth now. Good post.

I only regret that I have but one vote to give to my candidate.

Go President Bush, I'm praying for you hard.

Just for fun, after you draw the curtain yell out, "Hey! Who used up all the conditioner?!"

FOUR MORE YEARS!

Yep. And you'll have to live with your choice each and every day for the next 4 years, so "choose carefully whom you will serve..."

To my fellow Bush supporters, I say pull that level! To the Kerry supporters out there, I say, well, let's not waste your vote either. Take the lead of Pee-Wee Herman, and while your alone in that booth, PULL THAT LEVER!

I find it amusing to call out, "Hey, you have any paper in your stall?"

It shouldn't be that hard of a decision, but there are some pretty stupid people out there.

This is from the San Francisco Chronicle, July 17, 1982:

Sheds a whole new light on Lurch supporting late term abortions, doesn't it?

Well, Carville bagged one undecided voter today - for Bush!

Was having lunch with some coworkers. One woman, very apolitical but also smart, said she was truly undecided. I told her about Carville's remark that "anyone who is undecided at this point is stupid" (or something to that effect).

After hearing, she stated quite certainly there was no way she'd vote for Kerry, would be pulling lever for Bush!

Voting should have just begun in Dixbille Notch NH. Results should be available soon. (Or at least they used to publish immediately after the vote)

And pray to God for just a little wisdom.
