You're missing some possible responses: 1. I can't wait! I love campaign ads. 2. I didn't care today, but next time I'm hoping the US pirate party throws their distressed tricorn hat in the ring. 3. I love the whole process, but I wish it was longer and more convoluted, like with an obstacle course or life size maze.

1- It's a sad day for those of us who enjoy black and white photos combined with ominous piano music.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a simple graphic list with vote tallies of local races, not 'articles' that have little or no information.
National ones are all over the place.
vertigo 2 years, 6 months ago
They're there. Just look for it. The links I provided have both.
overthemoon 2 years, 6 months ago
the LJW link is just a page with a bunch of short articles. I'm a pretty good browser, and I don't find an overall list on a single page.

Right side of the page, under the map. In red is the titile: Individual races. Click on each race to get the numbers.

Another possible response: I enjoy and exercise my right to vote, but I get sick and tired of all the negative campaigning and the tasteless and inaccurate campaign ads.

If the election of 2008 has showed us anything it is that voting doesn't matter. America is a conservative place and even if "Democrats" win, they still don't do anything that changes anything of substance (that health care bill was a mighty joke). Obama has also kept up in shiny order the Patriot Act and other invasive laws.
For the first time in 17 years, I didn't vote.

Well it's like this, you may believe what you wrote, fact of the matter is that you have the right to vote, unlike alot of other countries, you may not get what you vote for, but that right to vote and excercising that right is more powerful than anything you can imagine , but only if you exercise it, since you didn't excercise that right, then your post is $ull &hit ... what do the rest of you think about this ?

I think your post hardly makes sense, to be honest.
And votes only go as far as campaign money will allow them.

As Obama gets out of bed this morning he has good reason to be very concerned. In two more years he may be joining the ranks of unemployed himself.
vertigo 2 years, 6 months ago
But I thought the Republicans were going to fix all this unemployment mess?

Cheeseburger said it all .. good job cheese !! I also like what right wing has brought to the for front !! very good and very true !!
mr_right_wing 2 years, 6 months ago

Once again the proles have been suckered into voting in/out a group of people who will do very little different than any other group of elected people. The winners feel happy for a while and are fooled into thinking everything is better, but the reality is that the realism of political survival means that the professional political class cares little about the proles.
