\*\*Message to all dopers:  
\*\*

**SCOTTY…WE NEED MORE POWER!!!**  
\</JTK\>

My wife is getting a little freaked out here.

New Method for this thread:  
Please vote and post on here to let me know you voted and/or texted. So I can compare (roughly) what we are doing here and what my wife’s groups are doing so we can get a rough idea of the number of votes generated and what’s needed…plus the bumping should be helpful in reminding others.

We are only half way there, and maybe some of the voters thought that we were gonna cruise into first and haven’t voted lately…kind of that West Coast voter apathy when (back in the day) the news media projected a winner before the polls closed and the West Coast thought they really couldn’t change the outcome (for better or worse). Let’s try to reverse that notion and see how we can turn this around.

Thanks again everyone…keep up the good work…spread the word to the other Dopers and to your friends and families!

QUESTION: Our Facebook Likes is over 300 now and that in turn should generate votes…since I am not on Facebook (but my wife is…with limited knowledge), what should she be doing with all these Likes and turn them into actual votes? I thought by now, we would be crushing everyone once we got our Likes up this high?

I think I’ve voted every day also. I “liked” it too, which I thought meant it would show up on my facebook so that others could vote too, but it didn’t.

Maybe I can try to manually add it. I’ll do that now.
