Okay, i'm sure there are things some of you out there thought during this race, but you didn't say them in an effort to "promote" your candidate on here.

I know I did this on certain occasions.

For example, I still don't think Reverend Wright is a racist, but Obama's association with Wright DID bother me more than I let on.

However, I scanned 20 years of articles in the Chicago Tribune, and Wright was only in about 20 of them, and none of them mentioned his "controversial" tone, until Obama started running for president. In all the article, he was portrayed as a leader in the black community known for opposing radicals like Farrakhan (which he did on at least 2 occasions noted in the paper).

Another confession i have is about socks``. I gave him more shit than he deserved to try and dishearten him a little so he would post less.

I thought sarah palin was awesome until i heard her speak

11/4/2008 3:22:59 PM

I actually do think McCain would be an improvement over Bush, albeit a marginal one.

11/4/2008 3:24:15 PM

I voted for the wrong register of deeds but didnt want to fill out another ballot

11/4/2008 3:31:48 PM

^^^ Palin is very charismatic, i'll give her that. That could be due though to so few feminine women at that level in politics.

11/4/2008 3:32:11 PM

lol.

11/4/2008 3:33:29 PM

Edwards could have received my vote

11/4/2008 3:35:32 PM

I voted straight ticket libertarian.

11/4/2008 3:39:04 PM

I confess that during this race I would have traded my right to vote to see Palin naked.

11/4/2008 3:39:19 PM

You all are either holding back, or i am more of a jerk than I thought.

11/4/2008 3:40:56 PM

I said I would write in Ron Paul numerous times but I never had any real intentions of doing that.

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 3:44 PM. Reason : only because he didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning though]

11/4/2008 3:43:31 PM

I didn't really think Obama was the Messiah.

More of a major prophet.

11/4/2008 3:45:56 PM

I told everyone that I know that I was voting for Bob Barr so they wouldn't give me shit about my liberal leanings, then I voted for Obama.

11/4/2008 3:49:55 PM

i don't like black people, but i voted for Obama

11/4/2008 3:50:27 PM

^^^^ if we weren't a swing state this year, i'd have voted 3rd party.

11/4/2008 3:50:36 PM

If we weren't in a swing state I would have written in Ron Paul. If I didn't dislike even the remotest possibility of Perdue winning, I would have voted for Munger.

Biggest confession that I do feel a little guilty about--- I voted for Dole.

11/4/2008 4:04:01 PM

^ You probably shouldn't have confessed that.

Another confession: I only really knew anything about President, Senator, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and US representative. The other things I just went on name recognition or party.

11/4/2008 4:10:43 PM

Eh, I had some pretty good reasons for voting for Dole, I just know everyone here thinks she's the devil.

11/4/2008 4:11:38 PM

I haven't voted yet, but when I do later today, even though I don't like her at all, I'm voting for Dole strictly because she's a Republican.

Lame, I know... I'm just not comfortable with an overwhelming Democrat majority under an Obama presidency. I wouldn't be comfortable if it was the other way around either.




okay, truthfully, it's because HAGAN IS GODLESS

11/4/2008 4:13:01 PM

^^Probably because she ran one of the sleaziest campaigns in recent memory. Not to derail the thread, though.

I'm a registered Republican, but Dole is a piece of shit.

[Edited on November 4, 2008 at 4:13 PM. Reason : r]

11/4/2008 4:13:12 PM

Fine go vote for Liddy. She's awful and your reasoning for voting for her is even worse...it seems like a match.

11/4/2008 4:16:22 PM

Actually, my reason has to do with Dole single-handedly helping my sister get an honorable discharge from the Army when her husband was almost killed in a car accident and had to have at-home-care for almost a year. My sister was a week away from flying to Kuwait when she got the news of the accident. She also was instrumental in helping my Dad and Uncle with starting up their business before she ever even ran for office.

Even if I don't agree with some of her decisions, she does a lot of good for people that never gets reported.

11/4/2008 4:17:43 PM

lol did you think I was serious about the godless thing? or because of the Republican thing? either way, you probably don't like it, I was just curious

11/4/2008 4:18:08 PM

I filled out my ballot and tried to put in in the automatic scanner thing. It jammed and the old guy came over, hit the reset button, and then said "Let's try that again. Slide it in there slow and gently."

There were a lot of kids around so I couldn't yell "THATS WHAT SHE SAID!" and then I had a hard time keeping my composure.

11/4/2008 4:26:06 PM

I thought Palin was attractive the first time I saw her picture many many moons ago while doing research on the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge. This was waaaaay before the omgshessohawtzors bandwagon arrived and before anyone outside of Alaska knew who she was. As I have stated before, her outward attractiveness quickly dissipated when I found how anti-environment she truly was.

11/4/2008 4:27:30 PM

I voted for Michael "Clown Hair" Munger. To his credit, he no longer has clown hair.

11/4/2008 4:32:45 PM

Democrats I voted for:

Roy Cooper, attorney general
Janet Cowell, treasurer

I think I'm forgetting one, though.

11/4/2008 4:33:23 PM

Back before I had made up my mind either way, I told a liberal chick that I was "totally for Obama" in order to get laid.

11/4/2008 4:34:49 PM

I would probably say I was for McCain to get laid.

11/4/2008 4:35:56 PM

I hope the Dems don't get a supermajority in either house of Congress.

11/4/2008 4:41:54 PM

I more or less just mashed random buttons when I got to the judges section of the ballot.

11/4/2008 4:46:25 PM

I voted for all the men in the judges section.

11/4/2008 4:49:56 PM

I voted for all women in the judges section. True story.

11/4/2008 4:52:20 PM

when people handed me campaign literature while i waited in line to vote, i threw it away five feet later.

11/4/2008 4:53:30 PM

an obama presidency scares me much less if he doesnt have a democrat super majority in the house n senate.

i still think palin is a milf

11/4/2008 5:19:44 PM

palin is a total milf.

that's the reason why she was chosen by McCain.

11/4/2008 5:27:24 PM

I have significant concerns about a Democratic presidency and Democratic super majority. However, those concerns were not enough for me to warrant a vote against Obama.

Also, McCain could have made my decision a lot more difficult if he had not decided to pick Palin and start mirroring the Limbaugh/Hannity message on the campaign trail. In fact, early in the process I was at times split 50/50 on who to vote for.

11/4/2008 5:31:15 PM

I jizzed all over the ballot box

AND I LIKED IIIIIT

11/4/2008 5:33:58 PM

i refused to vote for any unc graduate.

11/4/2008 5:44:18 PM

I don't think the democrats will get a supermajority. ON a purely evil level though, I kind of wonder what true runaway power would look like... where would the dems take the country?

11/4/2008 5:59:04 PM

STRAIGHT TO HEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

11/4/2008 6:00:41 PM

yeah, i have to admit that obama's lack of experience plus the reverend wright stuff worried me. but then palin was nominated and no doubt was left in my mind.

11/4/2008 6:08:15 PM

I would have actually voted for Kay Hagan if Liddy Dole has voted for the bailout - out of spite alone. Since she didn't, I voted for Christopher Cole.

11/4/2008 6:10:42 PM

i hope obama wins

even though i didn't vote for him

11/4/2008 6:30:59 PM

^ Obama needs more than your "hope"

11/4/2008 6:33:27 PM

^^ Too bad you can't "change" your vote!

11/4/2008 6:35:57 PM

I think McCain could have made more of an effort to stop some of the shit going down at the rallies but he shouldn't be held 100% responsible like some of you act

11/4/2008 6:37:16 PM

^ Huh? McCain made a good effort that one time at least, I give him full credit for doing the right thing.

Palin however made no attempt to calm her crazy crowds, and they really screwed up by chauffeuring Joe the Plumber to spout his idiocy.

11/4/2008 6:38:20 PM

On my way walking back from work today, a black woman walked across the street with her arms in the air screaming "TOMORROW WE ARE GONNA HAVE A BLACK PRESIDENT WOOO"

I looked to my left, saw another black guy - we both bowed our heads in shame and shook our heads from left to right pretty slowly.

11/4/2008 6:52:04 PM

it is ashame when they vote for Obama just because of the color of his skin - that's about as racist as it gets.

11/4/2008 7:02:51 PM
