You know, I drove to the polling station a couple of days ago to vote for Obama and nobody was there! Boy, did I feel silly. Apparently, Canadians can't vote in American elections!
Seriously though, how do they know the races or religions or whatever of who votes for who? The ballots are the same as here, right? X marks the spot. There's no 20 questions on the ballot. It's all statistics from polls, which are no better than wild ass guesses.
Anyway, what was interesting to me was how the various ethnic groups got off there couches and went door to door to raise money and make sure all the Obama voters got to the polls. And I read that he said, "we can't lose if we outnumber them!". If he can run such a successful campaign and motivate people to do that to get him elected, he can motivate them to help him solve their problems. "Yes we can".
