First votes go to Obama

Dixville Notch goes to Obama! Haha!

Bush won that riding by a landslide in 2000 and 2004.

It actually hasn't got for a democrat in 40 years. So that must mean something...

Hells yeah

First Dixville,then America,then the world.

Oh,wait....

Oh crap...he knows!

I just voted. Got there at 6:30 and there were 50 people or so in line.

Jesus. Turnout is going to be fucking insane. In Canada I went to vote at 5:30 pm, right after work, and I just walked right through and out.

Now, I don't want to sound like an idiot, but are you guys voting in Canada for your own government at the same time we are? or is it for our government? I'm confused.

I voted for Obama. I also voted for the NDP in Canada in our elections a couple weeks back.

So you guys have elections for us?

SBF wrote:So you guys have elections for us?

Only some Canadians get to vote in the US election. It's a minority, but we make our voices heard.

Huh, but your vote doesn't count?

Wally has dual citizenship so I think it's different for him.

Right?

SBF wrote:Huh, but your vote doesn't count?

Sure it does. I've already mailed in my official US ballot. We have designated 'voting districts'. Mine, for instance is in Ventura County California, so I got to vote on all the Californian propositions, as well as the smaller elections.

Canadians really aren't as friendly as everyone thinks.

Some of the bitchiest people I know are Canadians.

Goddamn foreigners.

Oh god that's the truth. There was at least one newspaper editorial up here bitching about the possibility of an Obama presidency - because Canada "deserves" to have the first minority leader.

That's crazy, I didn't even know you could do that. Actually that's not crazy, that's awesome, because by a poll I saw, other countries have polled that Obama is the #1 choice for president.

Well, the cats out of the bag. The only reason I can vote is because I'm an American, just living in Canada.

Speaking of minorities --- apparently, the local Obama supports sent a young black women door-to-door in one of the biggest redneck, Dixie flag-waving, shotgun-totin', minority-hatin' areas in Orlando.

So you were born in the US?

Nope, born in Canada.

Ok, I don't really understand how dual citizenship works, but that's cool either way.

I'm actually a bit of a rare case. I was born here, but my dad was a natural born citizen from California. So, when I was born, my parents just registered me as an American born on foreign soil. Plus since I was born here I simply received Canadian citizenship. Apparently it's really hard to get it now, but for a period of time around the early 80s all you had to do was register our kid on his birth and you were in. Still pretty rare. I was lucky. There was some talk that I'd have to choose one or the other, but that's subsided.

i've got to go over to vote, but i'm going to wait until after lunch. morning lines are absurd today.

What can I say, Cali-forn-i-A, where niggas die every day over some shit they say?

Sorry, I can't let that one go. But it's all fun.

That explains your hippie tendencies.
