Rachel and I talk about this everyday. We only use cellphones – no land line home phone – so the pollsters have not called us to see who we are voting for. Even if they had called us, we would not have counted as a likely voter – until yesterday. I read in the USA Today the questions that are asked to determine if you were a likely voter and thus what percentage your vote counted. I only got 5 points because I didn’t know where I was supposed to vote (it came in the mail yesterday, so now I know) and because I hadn’t voted in my current precinct before.
I also read in the USA Today article that first time voters favored Kerry 60/40. I still don’t understand how anyone can vote for Bush – mostly because any time I ask someone why they are, they can’t tell me – but I also don’t think he cares about the American public. I am very excited in doing my part to change this country on November 2. Right now, Missouri is a red state, but I am confident that we will come to our senses and elect a man that knows how to lead.
I’m crossing my fingers and hoping you’re right. (By the way, I’ve already cast my vote, so I played my part.)
I hope my vote is going to count. I also hope that when Kerry gets into office the unemployment rate will go down. We all need jobs.
well, it’s not just jobs we need, we need more money. I read yesterday that new jobs now pay $16,000 less than the jobs they replaced. To clarify that, when a job was lost and then someone was hired to fill it, they were paid considerably less to do the same job.
yeah, missouri is going to step up. just like they did on the gay marriage issue.
i don’t think missouri is going to step up at all. SO many rednecks around.
