There is the excitment of hearing Obama speak (couple weeks ago in Philadelphia and of course last April). We have been lucky to be considered a blue state over the last 8 years but it was close so my vote was definately not wasted. Today PA is less of a swing state and more solidly blue. I think if I have a choice I will go with "blue" state over "swing" state. Thanks for promoting my site. Maybe we see each other Thanksgiving? I'll be in the Berkshires.Vote Projectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461192946537285846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226983.post-53883512698557432162008-10-25T07:58:00.001+02:002008-10-25T07:58:00.001+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vote Projectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461192946537285846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226983.post-6052380202940091892008-10-25T07:58:00.000+02:002008-10-25T07:58:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vote Projectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461192946537285846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226983.post-33648810924033038242008-10-25T07:57:00.000+02:002008-10-25T07:57:00.000+02:00This comment has been removed by the author.Vote Projectorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461192946537285846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226983.post-49866462436786705342008-10-24T14:53:00.000+02:002008-10-24T14:53:00.000+02:00SUEGood for you - you will have a voice, you can v...<B>SUE</B><BR/>Good for you - you will have a voice, you can vote, even if it doesn't change the immediate results per say...Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02046472160770720576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14226983.post-76393900510851639462008-10-23T17:51:00.000+02:002008-10-23T17:51:00.000+02:00I'm gonna vote.But I have no expectations of it he...I'm gonna vote.<BR/><BR/>But I have no expectations of it helping.<BR/><BR/>I like Obama.
