No option for those registered as independents? I've always reg. ind. and I've voted in every election since I turned 18. I currently live in Mexico but I believe my ballot for POTUS goes into the Oregon tally. Already sent in my ballot. Voted for Obama.

One of my best friends (she's liberal) has a mother who won't vote for Obama based on his name. It's not "American" enough.  You have got to be kidding me. Please, just say you're a closet racist and be done with it, yeah? I can always appreciate honesty, even if I dislike the honest opinion. We can get somewhere, with honesty. But this bullshit about "his name" and god knows what else... no, it just drives us in circles as a nation. |
I have some new neighbors across the street from me, they're from the upper mid west. Renting, looking to buy. We we're talking yesterday and they said while they've always voted GOP they were going to hold their nose and vote for Obama. The issue of him being black came up and he said "I can vote for a black guy, might not have been there ten years ago..." And she interrupted "Yeah, it's not like he's gay or something." Wonder if they realize their are at least 5-7 gay couple living within a block of them.
