(How many people remember this and remember who did it? note: This is perhaps not exact but as close as I can remember it.)

"Election day is here. Go to the polls and vote. Vote for the Kennedy of your choice, but vote!"

ETA by Derek: I hope those of you who are going to vote for Mihos consider the fact that he has no chance in hell to win and voting for him will only help the socialist Deval Patrick take command...

I just came back from my polling place. I was number 256 (in a town of roughly 16,000 total) at 9:00am. I think it's gonna be a large turnout today.

BTW, Richie Neal has some serious competition from a certain write-in member of NES.
 
I've convinced Deena to "vote right" this time. First time in 38 years of being together that I've ever done that. Deena voted on her way to work this AM.

I sent off a private Email to Reed Hillman wishing them luck today. Hope to send another one with congratulations in it tomorrow!

Will head to the polls in a few hours, got some work to get done here first.

When I moved to my current town, I registered and voted in the primary. This morning I wasn’t on the list of voters that came down from the State Offices. I’d blame it on the democrats, but I’m registered as unenrolled.

Tell them you are an undocumented worker and you demand your rights, then they'll let you vote!

Good for you! It's so important to model these kind of things for our kids and not just hope they "get it".

Are there any websites that will be tracking results? Brent and I are working late tonight and we wont be able to watch TV.
 
I'll be voting on my way home from work. But, I'm torn.

Do I vote my conscience, and throw the lever for Christy, knowing that this wil only help Deval patrick win?

Or do I do what actually makes sense and vote Healey?

If a Christy vote (and Patrick victory) helps get more people on the fast-track out of Marxachusetts, accelerating its inevitable decline into bankruptcy (both economic and moral), then that would be a good thing.

OTOH, that woudl be a shitty thing to do to those of you who don't have the option of fleeing.

This logic can be applied right down the entire ballot.

Call it the Costanza Method of voting, with the end goal being the destruction of massachusetts, as we know it today.

What should I do?
 
Just returned from voting and was impressed with the turn-out so far. Parking spaces were at a premium.[laugh] A lot more folks than I usually see this early.
 
If we all voted our conscience Christy would have a chance...
My first choice for gov is Christy, a distant second Healey (I don't want Deval or Grace)
My dad's first choice is Christy, second choice would be Deval (he doesn't want Healey or Grace).

I won't vote for Christy for fear that Deval might win and my dad won't vote for christy for fear that Healey will win.

So Christy lost 2 votes and Deval and Healey each get 1.
 
Whatever gets destroyed in MA, gets copied in other states like NY, NJ, CA, MD, etc. NOT a good goal/solution.
 
We voted around 9:30 this morning.
Had a good conversation with my mother last night. I asked who she was going to vote for. "I'm voting Republican across the board." says she. This is from a seventy something senior on a fixed income. "Something about him isn't right. I won't be able to afford him as Governor." is what she said about Patrick.
I love my Ma[smile]
 
I'm going to vote for Healy and Larry Frisoli. The rest of the positions
I could care less about..... although I'll probably end up voting R for
most of the rest of them. And if they're unopposed I'm writing in
Derek, lol.

Voting in this state does aggravate me, though... in some respects it feels
like pissing into the wind, especially in the context of national
positions... house, senate, and president.... EG, voting for
the president here is pretty much meaningless, as the state always goes
democrap by some gigantic amount. The other offices are also
likewise.... like I'm going to vote for Billy Szych, but Olver will still give
him the incumbency enema as usual. Ugh.

Y'know, there's going to be some puzzled looks when they start tallying up the write-in votes and start wondering who Derek Hoskins is and why he's getting so many votes. [smile]
 
Voted. But considering I live in Boston, there were only three candidates who were Republican on the ballot (Frisoli, Healey/Hillman, and Chase), so I wrote in "Anyone Else" for the others. Fricking communists (excuse me, socialist worker's party) were listed on my ballot.
