**betenoir** : You didn’t post a state, so I assumed you were English and not eligible to vote here.

**Olentzero** : I think I put you in Vermont instead of DC.

Maryland and I’m going Lib. I’ve thought of voting for Dio, but he doesn’t or didn’t have any kind of platform the last time I checked.

Never assume :D. There are plenty of us citizens living outside the borders.

And I’m definately filing an absentee ballot (even though it won’t get counted till long after they’ve declared a winner. Which rather takes the fun out of it ☹ ).

**Michigan** I don’t like either. **Dave Barry** or **Voldemort/Vader** really, would we notice much of a difference if the last two got in? .

I love write-ins.

Or with Bill Clinton for that matter…

Always nice to see other Canucks…even if I don;t agree with your politics. 🙂

B.C. (Victoria)  
Liberals all the way.

The Reform Party might have changed their name twice, but they are still the scary right-wingers they always were…even though they are now the “New Conservative Party.”

New Mexico–Bush

Although, it won’t break my heart if Kerry wins, he’s not so bad (ie not Al Gore).

I’m hoping Kerry will take Richardson as his running mate, because I’m not to happy with him (Richardson) being our governor. That will guarentee Kerry will take NM, but at least we’ll get a new guv.
