My parents just told me they are going to vote this year! My dad is almost 50, my mom is 45. Neither of them have EVER voted in their lives!! I wondered the other day if this election would bring out a lot of new voters and this is proof that it will. I am 21 and have never voted.  You better damn well believe I will be voting this year!Before it is even asked, we will all be voting for Bush, of course.

Imagine my surprise when the other night dad informed me mom was a registered Democrat!  I always thought both of them were Republicans. But mom didn't vote party line. She was too smart for that. But her sister and BIL vote straight Dem dad said. So did his grandmother. I guess she used to be teased a bit about it. Dad once accused her "that she would vote for a rattlesnake if it was a democrat."  Mom passed away in '81 and my aunt three yrs ago. Never knew dad's grandma Wentworth. |
.... I never woulda guessed! glad they are this year! I've always said that complacency is a HUGE problem in this state! I wont tell your mom you told me  PS: I will probably come by there tomorrow so we can assemble your AR |
You can tell her if you want to. She won't care. Tomorrow would be greeeaaaaaat... Don't forget the gas tube! Call the shop if you are definitely going to come, so I won't be gone on lunch.

And Northeastern PA. We get elections with more votes than registered voters, and people with no votes despite voting for themselves. I have to get my absentee ballot. I'll be at school. I missed voting for Bush last time because my Alabama registration got "lost". |
