Elections 2012: BFP Watch Party

easygoingfemme · 11-06-2012, 02:13 PM

I'll be here...

If anyone finds a "best place to view this going down online" resource, please post, there are a number of us who don't have televisions!

Martina · 11-06-2012, 02:15 PM

This will give you CNN, but I imagine most of the networks are streaming live from their websites.

Today ~

...was the Mrs Daywalkers' first time Voting.

She was adorable with anxiety, we walked down 2 blocks to vote
(I dropped mah envelope in the lil pink cooler looking drop box),
the whole process including the walk was like 40 minutes.

I voted in mah Voting shirt that I've had for like 20 years,
it has a biggo American Flag on the back and one on the
pocket in the front and it will go back in the closet until
the 2016 Presidential Elections.

Only in America will you find Rosanne Barr
above Obama's name on the ballots.

I was told by a friend today that Comedy Central does a great job covering elections and it helps keep objects from becoming air born. :-)

BullDog · 11-06-2012, 05:52 PM

I can't wait for results to start coming in! It seems like there is big turnout for both sides in many states.

Big gender gap in Virginia- women could make the difference for Obama where the conservative Republicans are eliminating abortion clinics there.

African Americans and Latinos seem quite fired up in Florida over the voter suppression.

Labor organizations are out in vans picking up people to vote in Ohio.

People power!

LadyRieinAL · 11-06-2012, 05:46 PM

Tonight, I will be returning to work after the polls close - to help count the votes - I'm praying for a miracle in the State of Alabama.
What is really scary is back in Nov. 2003 the Alabama's judicial ethics panel removed (at that time) Chief Justice Roy Moore from office for defying a federal judge's order to move a Ten Commandments monument from the State Supreme Court building. This was a 5,800 pound Stone monument.

His belief is that gays should never be able to adopt children or have children.

ON the other hand we have my boss, Democrat, who has been Judge over our county for 36 years - and in the entire time he has been in office, he has been without a doubt one of the most fiscally responsible leaders in the United States - we have always been in the black and have a large surplus savings.

His opponent was our Sherriff who until last year was a Democrat and decided to jump the fence so he could run against our Judge - His family has more money that fort knox and he had limos picking up people and taking them to the polls to vote -

This man was recently audited and was found to have spent $24,000.00 in renting a jet to be taken and picked up from a football game.

How long will it be before our county has to file bankruptcy if this man gets into office.

I'm really a nervous wreck for so many different reasons on so many different levels -

I'll be leaving in a little while, summoned to my post - I send positive light and energy - please join me in forming a composite of like energery for the People's leaders to come forward in a winning light.

LadyRieinAL · 11-06-2012, 05:48 PM

Forgot the important point on Judge Roy Moore, he's running again.

WolfyOne · 11-06-2012, 05:52 PM

I'd like to thank Rie for having me drive around until I found the darn polling place here.

I'll also keep you and yours in my positive light and energy.
Hoping it all goes the way y'all need it to be there.

Martina · 11-06-2012, 06:02 PM

So Vermont is ours and Kentucky and Indiana theirs. Not news.

VA is a complete tie.

easygoingfemme · 11-06-2012, 06:11 PM

I finally wrapped up office hours for the day and got to vote.
I was so nervous/anxious I couldn't get out of my seat belt.
I had a moment of panic that I wasn't going to be able to vote because I was stuck in my car.
Then I tried again and managed to get out just fine.

Now, the wait... the wait.

Martina · 11-06-2012, 06:13 PM

I've been hearing lately that this is the last election in which white people will demographically be able to come this close again to dominating a Presidential election. I want to live long enough to see white bigots be a minority in this country.

Sun · 11-06-2012, 06:15 PM

Voter suppression is insane! Just heard reports from the West side of Phoenix. Police are holding people back from polling places. Not ok! So much is at stake in this election, what a mess.

Parker · 11-06-2012, 05:50 PM

I dont know what I am going to do - I am so nervous.

More than anything else, I want Obama to win - and here in WA, I want marriage equality and the legalization of MJ to pass.

SaltyButch · 11-06-2012, 09:46 PM

Gosh I'm Canadian and am afraid to go to bed.....I so hope that people get out and vote and do the right thing. A funny thing if Obama was running in Canada he would win by a landslide, we are more involved in American politics than our own. The ramifications of Romney will affect us too. Let's hope that freedom prevails.
