I posted a vote banner

I invite people to use it and post it as well.

It’s served off my site so that I can give people an idea about how much it travelled. (Yup.. I track things I post) 🙂

Here it is again… this time with slightly corrected code. (lost a carriage return)

Help me remind the USA

I really wouldn’t mind having my servers beaten and this popping up on everyone’s LJ.

Karl Rove has called an Obama Landslide.

Rove (the engineer of the Bush campaign) has called a 338-200 EV Victory for Obama, with the junior senator picking up the votes for PA, VA, OH, FL, and NV. Rove hands the dead heat ties of MO, NC, and ND to McCain.

States that he have a within 4% on the polls add another potential (albeit unlikely) 68 EVs. The 1% or less states: ND, IN, NC, and MO are 40 EVs on their own. 378-160 would approach the routing of Bob Dole by Clinton (379-159).

I never thought I’d say this, but thanks to Karl Rove, I’m going to allow myself to be mildly optimistic tonight.

I’ll be leaving the office at 3. People who wish to join our news night feel free to show up any time after (say) 4:30.

I hope that tomorrow I will replace “Yes we can” with “Yes we did”

But because I think we’re on the verge of the change we’ve needed for not just 8 years, but maybe going back to the Nixon administration:

Vote tomorrow. Everyone. But I think I side with the majority this time.

I don’t care which side of the aisle you’re on for this one…

No, really honestly. I have my choice of candidate… I admit this.

But above all else, I want each person in this country to have the legally granted right to express the same.

Government has tried very hard to tell us who can and can’t vote. Government has tried very hard to tell us who we should vote for. But the decision is up to each and everyone of us. If you’re a staunch democrat and think that McCain and Palin is the path… you need to vote it no matter what your friends have told you. If your republican family and upbringing are completely at odds because your heart and mind tells you Obama and Biden.. then vote that way.

It’s private, it’s confidential… but it’s your decision.

Don’t let another decision leave this country wondering… If we’re polarised, then so be it. If we are a landslide.. so be it.

But do it. Vote. Tomorrow (if you haven’t already taken advantage of early voting) Don’t be fooled… Don’t be misled. Find where your vote goes, go there, be there, see it through.

I think Hollywood got the message right this time:
