lol  That's bad luck Harry, I'm sorry. Missing the election by just 12 days like that. Maybe you should complain to your parents, and tell them you should have been born sooner.

If it makes you feel any better, I missed the 2000 election by 11 months.

I missed 1996 by 2 months myself.

From recent article I have read, it is estimated that if 100% of registered voters vote in the 2004 election, President Bush will be CRUSHED with no pity. But sadly, it appears that it is the majority of liberals who think to themselves, "I'm staying home this Tuesday, my vote doesn't matter anyway." This should make many of you Republicans jump from your seats in joy.

By no chance certain. If look at the groups that have the lowest voter turnout U have both democrat and republican tending groups. U have minorities who would presumable be heavily democrat and you have young working professionals who are most likely to vote GOP on economic issues. Religious conservatives are another example of a group that has a relatively low turnout and we all know how they would vote. Of course this is an issue we can discuss till eternity but I dont a reasonable person can happily conclude exactly what happens if there were to be 100 % voter turnout.

By the way, in that SAME article I read in Time magazine, by majority, people who have had SOME college education will not vote for Bush in 2004. The majority of people who have a college degree will not vote for Bush in 2004. The majority of people who have higher education BEYOND a bachelors degree will not vote for Bush in 2004. The majority of people who have a high school diploma or LESS will vote for Bush in 2004.


I didn't make this up.

If history takes a place in this election, such as it did last time.  That will not be the case, check out the exit poll results of 2000.  I'll find it when I get home from work and post it here.

In my previous post I wasn't trying to say that Republicans are stupid, just to let you know. Because a dozen of you Republicans will probably respond to that post saying, "Hey! I'm not stupid! Democrats are!"

But those are the statistical results from Time magazine.

To make you Republicans feel better, in the national I.Q. test given by MENSA through the Fox Channel (not Fox news, but the Fox channel), Democrats have an average IQ of 113. And Republicans have an average IQ of....yup....113.

And I'm sure that most Green Party members have an IQ of either 80 or 180. lol just kidding

There we go.

Of course I'm going to vote and encourage as many of my friends to as well.  But I do live in one of the least competative states around, so my vote really doesn't count.  Anyway, here's my very short record (turned 18 in August 2002)...

2002
Governor -Jerry Brady (D) lost
Senator- Alan Blinken (D) lost
Representative- Betty Richardson (D) lost

2003
City Council- Mark Arneson (D) lost

As you can see I'm not very good at picking winners.  

Now U see there may be a reason for that. I can suggest a sure way for you to pick all the winners next election

Your vote always counts....

Absolutely, remember you healped give Al Gore some saving grace in 2000

[MSUfan]

I voted for Gore in 2000 (I just missed being able to vote in 1996 by 2 months).
In 2002, I voted for Jennifer Granholm for Governor, Carl Levin for the U.S. Senate, and John Dingell for the U.S. House, although I voted for Lynn Rivers in the incumbent vs. incumbent primary. I've since moved from the 15th district to the 1st district. All Dems, and all won (except Rivers in the primary)

Im guessing you are from the detrioit area. I voted for granholm too and levin
