New New Election day post

the other one is breaking 500 posts, so its time for a new one.

Remember to get your free Starbucks

 

Prior to Monday afternoon, Starbucks was promoting an ad that said anyone who says enters a Starbucks on Election Day and says that they voted would get a free cup of tall coffee.

 

RAW VIDEO: Starbucks' Election Day Ad

 

Election officials for the state of Washington told KIRO 7 that rewarding voters with free coffee is illegal.

 

"No good deed goes unpunished," said Nick Handy, director of elections.

 

Handy said there is a federal statute that prohibits any reward for voting.

 

Starbucks' good deed can be perceived as paying someone to vote, and that’s illegal, Handy said.

 

"The way it is written, it expressly prohibits giving any kind of gift," Handy said.

 

Handy said the intent of the statute is aimed at special interest groups trying to influence who and how people vote.

 

To fix the situation, Starbucks had agreed to give a tall cup of coffee to anyone who asks on Election Day.

County Council.

God knows why you’d be interested but here’s her site if you’re that bored and/or want to hit her up for a little sexy cyber chat.

Not that anything a county councilor does is gonna make a real big difference on me.

I just thought I’d announce the fact that I got to vote for a chick named Seman.

Same

I’m a semi-big fan. He’ a good deal to the left of me on alot of issues, but I truly believe he has the perfect temperment and leadership skill set for this day and age. I really, really do, and I think that’s more important than ideology. No DramaObama.

I also like McCain alot, too. He’s an admirable man for alot of reasons. I would have voted for him against alot of other opponents. Hate his foreign policy. Thought he has looked lost in dealing w/ the economic fiasco, flailing about half-assedly. Palin choice was severely disappointing.

I think most of the far left and far right will be surprised to see Obama rebuke most if not all extreme partisan moves by Pelosi and Reid. And i’ll wager that there is at least 1 if not more Republican appointments to a Cabinet level position. While he has a classic urban liberal’s heart, he is essentially a pragmatist.

Obviously, I could be way fucked in my analysis.

Conversely, I could be like Longhorn, and not at all or ever fucked…

I hate the politico scene but,

I have to say I agree with you. I respect the hell out of McCain, based on his service, but Pallin is a fucking moron, and doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near the White House.

Obama wins, and in a few years, all the racist people emailing me shit will give up and go away.

bipartisan cabinet

I’m counting on that, too. I could see Obama reaching out for a few posts and being more centrist than people think. He might be too hawkish for me on foreign policy, but I’m not sure he has much leeway on some places.

the gist of that first article, and it sums up nicely why I have a good feeling about Obama as a commander in chief. I think he has the head to see the larger implications of any potential move in foreign policy, and a calm head during trouble.

A year ago, I would have said hell no to HRC over angry Mac

But she changed my mind a bit in the primaries, as he did the pasy year. Now, I dunno.

I don’t think you can answer that question in a vacuum. It would depend on how things unfolded the past 4-5 months.

The damn Prop 8 demonstrators out here in California have taken my nightly commute from 30 minutes to over an hour. They’re demonstrating at major intersections on my route home and clogging up the roads.

Taint kicks for all of them.

Here's the problem

It’s demonstrators for both sides of the Prop 8 issue causing the hold-up.

As a result, I’m tempted to write in a vote that marriage should only be defined as 1 human and their right hand.

I’m really freaking nervous about this. I have the ulcer and stress acne to prove it. Spent all morning and afternoon electioneering in Hayward. About 80-20 against, so that was encouraging. But we really need to run up the NOs in this part of the state.

I'm torn on the issue

I could care less if gays have the right to marry. But, I do have a problem with judges randomly overturning the word of the majority, which is the case here. The people voted in 2000 to not recognize gay marriage, and the courts pretty much told the people of California, nah, you’re wrong. That’s a problem.

To reiterate here, I’m not anti-gay marriage. Just anti activist judges.

by tlt29 on Nov 4, 2008 6:50 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

It's utterly silly to me

to be voting on a word. That’s all it is, people don’t want gays to have the word “marriage”.

I think that’s more of an insurance policy than anything. It is very hard to fathom that Minnesota, which has had two polls since February show any kind of McCain lead (and that was +1), is in play.

Yeah.

To quote Nate Silver:


Virginia, for my money, is the most important state in this election. If John McCain loses it, his path to victory is exceptionally narrow—he would need to pull out an upset in Pennsylvania, while holding on to Florida and Ohio, and avoiding a sweep out West.

Okay, you're safe

This will be an answer to KO, too, then. My upstairs neighbors love to get home between 3 and 4am, seven days a week, open their windows, and crank up the bad music. When I’d go up there they wouldn’t answer the door, and it’s probably better that they didn’t. Working 60+ hours a week doesn’t lend itself to being woken up real late at night, night after night after night.

Anyway, you probably don’t know me. Like I said I work a lot and so I don’t get to do a lot of the events they have here, which sucks because they’re pretty good at organizing stuff.

I love living here. The lofts are really too big for one person (especially a minimalist like me), but they rehabilitated the building very well. I just wish there were more things to do in the neighborhood.

If you go to my profile you can see my website, and there’s contact info on there. I have some friends in the building but not many.

Definitely not us then

We’re dead asleep at that hour – we get up pretty early and are usually out the door by 7:30am.

We lived in the SoCo lofts before they were SoCo (we were there right when they went condo, actually) – these lofts are SO much better. I would say they’re almost too big for just two people, actually – if we weren’t both IT people with multiple computers we would have a huge empty space.

I’m not too big into the social scene here, but there are few people I usually talk to when I see them in the halls, and I have a co-worker who actually lives down the hall from me (they moved without knowing we lived here too).

Ours here in Denton County had Obama, McCain, and Barr. I might have considered Barr, as I often vote Libertarian, but he was a massive Drug War advocate during his time in Congress, and as I donate money to pro-legalization groups, I simply couldn’t vote for him.

they're going by exit polls

but if i remember my statistics class right, the 1% of votes they have are random throughout the state, then that should be good enough.

Yah and I apparently took that to mean one of the very, very few.

I suppose it's semantics

If by one of you mean one of the fifteen or whatever, then yah.

My thought was there was no way this could be argued as the most important day in American history, and therefor did not deserve to be classified as one of the most important days in American history.

It’s still a big old huge whopping deal and I’m super proud to have been a part of it (got goosebumps during the speech and everything), I just don’t agree that it’s one of the most important days in American history.

July 4, 1776
September 3rd, 1783 (maybe)
September 17th, 1787
April 30th, 1803
April 12, 1861
September 22, 1862
December 7th, 1941
July 2, 1964

There are, of course, so many others, but I honestly believe that in terms of contextual significance, far-reaching implications, and even national catharsis, yesterday will be ranked alongside any of those dates. It seems the stuff of hyperbole now, but I think our view is diminished by the lack of suspense leading up to the election, and the absence of violence associated with it.

Just my view.

After McCain gets ripped here over the next couple of hours

how many consecutive hours will he sleep? I can’t imagine what those guys go through in the last days before election day.

He was on the move, all over the damn place the last couple days.

Well, I think Dallas county is about 70% white

and Tarrant county is about 80%

And Dallas county has something like 20% of the population from a foreign country and Tarrant county is closer to 10%.

Money wise, I don’t think there is much of a difference as both counties have very affluent areas. But, the median income is higher in Tarrant, and the poverty rate is higher in Dallas.

Oh, and the commerce is mugh higher grossing in Dallas County

So they have the big money companies, but maybe a bit more low income and minorities. It’s just different. The whole feel. Plus Dallas is much bigger.

Politically it's just different.

The Democratic Party’s strong in Dallas. The black community is organized. There’s a lot more money over here, and a lot more people. It’s different in just about every way you can imagine.

agreed

I’m glad that a lot of people can recognize the magnitude of the moment. I’d like to think I would recognize how amazing it would have been for a woman to become vice president.
