This year I really focused on the school board nominees b/c two of them were pro-intelligent design. I really felt the need to vote on this issue even though I don't have any kids.<BR/><BR/>phizzle dizzle - you make a good point.

When I got to graduate school in Swing State, I registered to vote right away because I had lived in Blue State and even if I forgot to vote it wouldn't matter. Now that I live in Other Blue State, I think about how it doesn't really matterPhizzleDizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02036442165798690074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697775263496385011.post-67955890862067679262008-11-04T08:45:00.000-08:002008-11-04T08:45:00.000-08:00Good for you!I also live in a red state, but thank...Good for you!<BR/><BR/>I also live in a red state, but thanks to some legal loopholes, have been able to maintain my permanent residency in my Home (Blue) State so I could continue to vote there by absentee ballot. I will have to become a resident and registered voter in Red State as soon as I finish my PhD, at which point I will probably feel really bitter about my vote in the next presidential Ambivalent Academichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908454781195782927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697775263496385011.post-64438055310903333052008-11-03T19:40:00.000-08:002008-11-03T19:40:00.000-08:00academic - exactly!!

Since you are getting up early, maybe the lines will be short.<BR/><BR/>dr. j - Thanks!!! I agree completely. It is insane when you think about the fact that the "majority" of Americans don't elect anyone, just the majority of voters.

If all the non voters voted in just about every election the result could have been changed so voting definitely gives you a licence to bitch and moan whereas the other way round does not. <BR/><BR/>The other really good reason why everyone should vote in the US, regardless of the state they are in is that Dr. Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279062868061912332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697775263496385011.post-64499436851872992722008-11-02T10:18:00.000-08:002008-11-02T10:18:00.000-08:00Well cheers to you then!
