Christopher...Life: SEriously! Do it for the kids. <br /><br />Christopher: She has won our hearts, that sweet grandbaby. <br /><br />Vote by mail saves the state a bundle- they even have white ballot "mailboxes" just like the real mailboxes, in different locations where people don;t even have to pay the price of a stamp to vote.. & those boxes have security cameras on them to prevent tampering. <br />You can choose to bring it to election headquarters as well .<br /><br />The really great thing about it is many of the ballots have already been counted in the weeks before the election, so when the first results are released after 8 pm PST, those early results often stick because so many have already been counted. Sometimes it is too close to call, or the counts can flip-- as the eastern/rural side of Oregon tends to be "red", but the major metro western areas, Portland, Salem, Eugene are solidly "blue" & have always been the majority. <br /><br />I still think Ohio is key because it has so many electoral votes. <br /><br />Safe to watch the debate.... I think the media hyped it up because look how much they make selling political ads, etc. <br />By now most people have already decided how they will vote. <br /><br />The only thing holding me up right now is some local measures that are confusing. <br /><br />Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-74503249138426617142012-10-22T06:45:14.157-07:002012-10-22T06:45:14.157-07:00What an adorable grandchild!
In Oregon you vote b...What an adorable grandchild!<br /><br />In Oregon you vote by mail only and don't go to the polling place? I didn't know this.<br /><br />I'll tell you, I'm very nervous that one shitty debate performance could cause the polls to tighten like this.<br /><br />I'm comforted that Obama is still favored over the Mormon by 15 pts and Obama is up by 5 pts in Ohio.<br /><br />No Republican has won the White House if he fails to carry Ohio but like they say, there's always a first.<br /><br />Truth told, I'm so nervous about the outcome of the election that I won't be watching tonight's third and final debate. I just can't do it.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-10574939316995890702012-10-22T04:50:24.577-07:002012-10-22T04:50:24.577-07:00We do owe it to our grandchildren to not vote repu...We do owe it to our grandchildren to not vote republican!!!Life As I Know It Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733963455243806298noreply@blogger.com
