Elections - November 2006

According to Newt Gingrich if Bush replaced Rumsfeld two weeks before the election, voters would not have been as angry. Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Pa., the outgoing chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, agreed with that assessment.

These midguided people think that the voter were that angry over one man? Sheesh, are they disconnected from reality. The voters are upset over the entire mess not just one man. Hundreds of billions in war debt and thousand killed, ten thousands wounded and these guys think firing Rumsfeld would have made the voters forget all that.
They are out of touch with reality.

Lets say that each pair has won the support of their party in the primary and has chosen the other, who was a former opponent in the primary, to be their running mate.

So- who wins and why?

She took NY again against a no name opponent so the fact that she has many supporters is obvious.

But then, Bush won the presidency, so the fact that he has supporters is also obvious.

I can see why they were voted for 1st and 2nd time around. But after the 2nd term, surely people knew what they were truly about and yet they were voted in again for a 3rd time.

Over the years, political strategists have theorized that people vote for a candidate as a statement to the government, a mandate of some sorts. I say people vote for a particular candidate, based on that person's issues.

What was your basis on voting for particular candidates?

Today there is a municpal election where I live, and for councillor there are 4 people running.

I am not happy with the current councillor and would very much like to see him replaced, as basically he does nothing and has no time for his constituants.

However the other 3 candidates have no websites, have made no effort to contact the people in their riding (pamphlets, phone calls, etc). There have been a few mentions of them in the media, but not enough for me to really know what they stand for.

What would you do? Pick a random name? Pick the one you know most about? Or would you abstain from voting for anyone on the basis that you can not make a reasonable informed decision? Keeping in mind that those kinds of votes are not tabulated even if you decline the ballot (which I wouldn't do as I am interested in voting for Mayor, though I have declined ballots in the past for what it was worth when it was the best of bad options)

What would you do? How would you decide?

My first time at the polls and when I asked what to do they said fill this(ballot) out and get in line. My friends and I set down and filled our ballots out and yes we did ask each other questions. When we got into line we were told we couldnt stand in line because we had our ballots filled out. Is there a law against discussing our vote or not using our right to privacy? I dont see why others cant see our vote if we choose. Where can I get witten laws on this as I'd like to take it to the meeting tonight.

Whether the people really voted for a change or many people did not vote because it was a non-presidental election..what is done is done..now we start to turn to the 2008 Election...Mitt Romney out of Massachutes has a good chance and my reasoning is this..even though he is Repubican Governor..his state is majority Democrat party....he governs with the law and does not push his personal/religous views...for if he had then Massachusets would not been able to pass Pro-gay laws...

Several states had those legally shaky marriage amendments on the ballots, and I have heard a theory that a fair amount of African Americans, the majority who traditionally vote Democrat, tend to be against Gay marriage and these ballot issues motivated many to the polls to vote FOR the amendment and FOR the Democrats!

So, if this is true, could the neo cons have essentially cut of their nose to spite their face with those marraige amendment Gay baiting tactics?

During the last election a lot of the lower court judgeships had just the same number of people running for them as needed to be elected. That got me thinking if just the general public could run for these postitions like how anyone can run for an elected sherrif postition.
