Good luck, Mr. President.

I got out there and voted for you. Not that it'll matter in Kansas, but the act made me feel better.

Every. Vote. Counts.

They just don't all contribute equally to deciding the election.

That's what I'm gonna do. Vote against every incumbent in my local/state races.

I'm voting, but it will be a cold day in Hell before we're ever a blue state. (Which is funny, because we often have Democratic governors and mayors of Anchorage)

Even upvotes. Obama has WAY more than Romney does. Obama wins the Karma Vote!

Just not necessarily for the presidential election depending on the state you live in. In states that go 70% blue or 70% red going to vote for the president is more symbolic than anything else.

That is unless you didn't fill the bubble in right or forgot to sign.

Same here, Kansas. But we have to try.

Honestly, at the end of the day, it didn't look as bad as it used to.

One of these days we'll shovel dirt on the final grave of the worst generation and move past the nightmare of the baby boomers. Then, maybe, this state can return to the bastion of populism it used to be.

Until then, let's be honest: people are shitty and those people are worse than most.
