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.

Just voted an hour ago.
No line at all.
I got to vote for a woman named Liz Seman. Her last name is Seman!!!
And she’s actualy kind of cute.

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.
I know you’re all super jealous.

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…
Those who would sacrifice liberty for safety deserve neither.
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.

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.

I like very much
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.

Yah that sounds pretty close to my take.
Here’s a question for you:
Would you have gone with Hillary over McCain?
(And for the purpose of this exercise we’re taking Pailin out of the equation. Pure top of the ticket.)
The 40 Trumps All!!!
Rule 5? No…talk to the hand.
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.

What about the stickers
So what happens to the lady that rewarded me with a sticker? State or federal pen for her?

I want this crap to be OVER
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.
I'd vote against
anyone whose protest interfered with my commute home. I don’t care if they were protesting for motherhood and apple pie, I’d vote against em.
"Oh well, McCain is pretty communist anyway,... we can be 70% communist with McCain,"-Sharky
true
and i’d be pretty pissed if they were protesting for something I was for. Very least, I’d tell them to stop doing it lest they piss off everybody else.

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.
Don't do that.
I don’t want to have to start telling chicks I’ve been married thousands and thousands (and thousands) of times in my life.

well...
…we wouldn’t have to fight this discriminatory proposition had the religious nutjobs not put it on the ballot to begin with.
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.
Dreaming of 2009
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.
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'm sure...
…if you would had a referendum on integration and voting rights in Alabama in 1965 it would have failed. Would the US Supreme Court have been “activist” for overturning it?

they sent out similar calls in lots of other states
could be that polls tightened in every battleground. or could just be covering their bases.

McCain struggles
and barely breaks 200 EV.

i think...
closer than is expected but obama is over 300 EV… mccain will take on of the big three FL, PA, OH, probably ohio, as well as north carolina, indiana, and missouri, and might defend one of the three western states of nevada, colorado, and new mexico, my gut says nevada…

does anybody have voting discrepancies within their household?

I do
My wife is a straight hippie. Votes Democrat across the board. She’s already cast her vote for Obama.
I’m more down the middle. I tend to be little more conservative on issues of foreign policy, and a little more liberal on domestic stuff.
I’m still undecided on the Pres. I’ve got a couple of hours to make up my mind.
My wife is a beating how much of a lefty she is
Informed on the issues, but mostly incapable of seeing the other side’s point of view.
But the fam and particularly the in-laws back in TX do a nice job of of counterweighting that out.

Has anyone voted in Dallas or Fort Worth today?
Long lines? I was in Waxahachie for business this afternoon and a lady told me turnout seemed to be very light. She was a Republican just like everybody else down there and said it made her nervous.
I went before work in the north Dallas 'burbs.
Got there at 6:30am to beat the rush, was the 12th person in line, and there were probably 150 people behind me by the time the polls opened at 7.

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).

There were a LOT
of artists at SoCo. Most of them moved out when it went condo – a lot of them came here. We went somewhere else for two years before we came here.

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)

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.

Well, I think Dallas county is about 70% white

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.

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.

Okay
I don’t like when people cherrypick and say things like they are glad to be an American on a certain day.
I’m glad to be an American everyday.
But, all politics aside, this is one of the great, GREAT moments in American History…
Congratulations to Barack Obama.
And, one more thing, John McCain, you are one truly Great American…

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.

that although i did not vote for him nor agree with him on basically ANY policy viewpoints today is a historic day in our country’s history.
i wish him the best of luck…he ran one hell of a campaign and has set the bar VERY high for any candidates of either party.

But it’s going to be nice to have a president that is not only smart, but sounds smart and looks smart.
Agreed.
I said tonight that I’m glad it was decisive, because this is a mandate for Obama.

Speeches are never going to be an issue for him
I just hope he runs a country as well as he speaks…and I think he can as long as he remembers what he has preached and allows the government to function as a dual party entity striving for the same end, and working through the same means.
Not only is this an important day in the history of the country…but this will be a very important Presidency. Barack Obama is the man we have chosen, and I will proudly call him my President.

It was a long shot.
At this point I’m just staying up to see how accurate my projection was. It was really close to 538. Um, probably because I used his data.

60 senate
They may not get 60 tonight. However, if Obama can convince a Senator from a state with a Democratic governor to join his cabinet, that Senator’s replacement would be a Democrat. Arlen_Specter for instance could be offered a cabinet position with its own bureaucracy and real power as opposed to being in the minority party. Then Governor Rendell could appoint a Democrat to replace him and push the total to 60 if they get 59 tonight.

He’s got a real shot to win this.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
I dislike this Anderson Cooper prick
He shouldn’t allow anyone to interrupt people the stature of Bob Woodward and David Gergen.
I dont like to comment on political stances, but Ill just say this.
I think Obama won because of his personal charisma and the Bush backlash, not any identifiable plans, policies or ideas he had.
the preceding post was a great success.
I don't think they're mutually exclusive.
There is no doubt that the Bush backlash helped Obama, but his policies (at least to me) seemed so refreshing compared to Bush’s. They seemed thoughtful and even insightful. So while there is no debating that GWB is a big loser in this election, I think Obama’s policies are contrasted enough to Bush’s that it ended up helping him.
"One man, five scoops." -- shroomer
Neither candidate
was really putting out scores of well defined plans, policies or ideas?
What were McCain’s plans policies or ideas? Pretty much the only thing I heard out of the Maverick was his abandoning all old policies he had, and going to the Bush position.
I think Candidates for president recently try to promise as little as humanly possible and speak in vague generalities.
"Oh well, McCain is pretty communist anyway,... we can be 70% communist with McCain,"-Sharky
Indiana goes to Obama.
He’s also looking good in North Carolina, but will likely fall short in Montana and Missouri.
Still, absolutely astonishing.
Also, with 92% reporting in Minnesota, Al Franken trails by 3,000 votes (both he and Norm Coleman have more than 1,000,000). The word is that the outstanding precincts are blue-ish. This could be fun.
OK, I’m seriously going to bed. G’night.
