non-US citizens for Obama

[brad]

I work with a number of non-US citizens and I keep accidentally asking them if they've voted yet, then catching myself

That is cool :)

That's great.

If only more US citizens could be more passionate or politically aware than most immigrants.

The cab rides I've taken the past few months have been interesting because the drivers are usually foreigners, listen to news radio and love engaging their passengers in political conversation. They're like driving wikipedias! Half the stuff they say may not be true, but you can still learn from them.

I hope you're learning the right half! :-)

Y'know, everywhere I go, whether it be LJ friends, Youtube, work, EVERYONE seems to be supporting Obama. Seems like it should be a landslide victory, yet CNN's still reporting that it's a tight race, like 5% close. Where are all these McCain supporters hiding? How come I never see them anywhere?

Moms 4 McCain!

I don't think they're polling KKK members.

Diebold? ;) Besides, who would watch the election coverage if the race was a landslide? How would CNN sell eyeballs to advertisers then, huh? :P

My more-serious theory is that McCain's supporters* are older and don't really hang out at the cool internet places.

* More accurately in my narrow experience, Republican-ticket voters (McCain's too libuhral to actively support).

Yeah, I was sick of feeling powerless. I'm up superfuckingearly to go stand in front of polling places for no-on-prop-8.

Is that legal? Campaigning in front of a polling place? Maybe it varies by state...
