My government teacher thinks Republicans are going to get the most seats. He told us to watch Fox News to see them celebrating and then turn to MSNBC to see them angry and upset.
I am going vote early tomorrow morning. Like around 10-10:30 before I have to go to class. hocuspocus;
I did the early ballot like 2 or 3 weeks ago n_u
Voting in an hour and a half giggle;

Come on guys! This is the only real way to exercise our voice. Get concerned with the issues enough to make a point of registering and voting. It doesn't take long.
I put my ballot in an hour ago.
I'm more concerned about the possibility of feingold getting axed. We need him around.

It's not too late. Find out which ward you're in and go register. The lines are usually better in the morning, but early afternoon isn't bad either.
i can make my voice heard with a shotgun at the whitehouse
Kaz, you can register on Election Day in Minnesota.

i didnt vote since i dont want to do jury duty
I was considering it until I saw the sidewalks absolutely covered in political campaign jargon on my way to class and was badgered by some guy who wanted to remind me why all the other candidates were evil.
I don't know if I'm still registered in Wisconsin anyway...
But hurray for more Republicans crippling our government's ability to function! Then they can blame Obama for not doing anything and the fat americans will just gobble it up n_n
I don't even identify as a democrat, I just want to see some indication of progress rather than a stalemate

i love voting, because my predominantly democratic area scoffs at young republicans, and that's what is says on my card. i like to challenge their affront with nothing but a smug smile and an extra pep in my step.
Damn, Socks is a hardcore motherfucker. Don't mess with him.

So the Republics will gain a majority. Just like how people got mad at the Democrats, people will get mad Republicans are not doing enough. Then, they will turn back to Democrats. The cycle continues. Two party systems suck.

Admittedly I should have in terms of getting another democrat into office, but I've listened to his speeches and he's kind of a sleezebag. When Obama was here he spent half his speech going on and on about what good friends he and the president were and how Obama supports him (his main point of evidence being one billboard in Milwaukee with a picture of them standing together), yet Obama seemed really distant from him the entire time and barely gave him any sort of endorsement whatsoever. Then in his campaign ads Feingold continually thumps his own chest and smears his opposition. It was a really ugly campaign

yeah, so that's why pretty much the only people voting yes on 19 are the uneducated. i was all for it until someone actually explained it all to me.
I mean it is still ok to vote on it. It can send a message that marijuana legalization is wanted even if it may not do anything at the moment.

um that's not true at all. there are a lot of people voting for it.
it is more than a symbolic gesture. without directive to enforce national laws and no federal presence, the prevailing attitude in essence becomes the de facto rule of the land, technicalities be damned.

yes but reading comprehension would tell you that ultimately prop 19 won't do anything completely concrete. it's a step in the right direction, but it's not the godsent weed law that all the kids think it is. they're not home free just yet.
also, 21 for weed, but 18 for tobacco? that's retarded

Feingold got beat out by some cookie cutter stub who is going to just be another nameless face voting along (republican) party lines. This bothers me. He HAD the youth vote, but I'd be willing to bet half didn't go and vote.

For shame wisconsin, for fucking shame.
Maybe he could have helped himself if he didn't engage in a smear campaign which, when I polled my classmates, was a main reason for declining to vote. There's been very noticeable disillusionment due to the constant ads which have been running constantly for the past 4 months

I dont know. By the end I think everyone is completely ad weary and ready for things to quiet back down.
Ignoring them altogether is probably the wisest path to fly, but what are you going to do?
Regardless, what was Johnson's campaign based off of? It was just the vague "cut spending, less taxes, more jobs, what you want to hear" without any proper elaboration. I'm not sure if basing a vote on campaign spending (which I think they were both pretty equal with feingold just above) and attack ads is the right idea, especially with a three term-er who is actually acting as a very independent voice in washington.
By all rights, there is no way that Johnson should have been able to pull this off.

Basically, yes, and Milwaukee has the third highest unemployment rate among major US cities so Feingold has been getting a lot of criticism for not doing enough in Wisconsin and is seen as being more focused on Washington. Furthermore the fact that he is rather independent in his policies leads to a lack of support from the democratic party and its voters. Ron Johnson had better party funding and a more focused group of voters since he toes his party's line more so than does Feingold.
What the fuck, Minnesota? Another recount?
^ Yeah....
Maybe I missed it; I was a bad forumer and decided the thread was tl;dr, so sorry.
But the only thing I'm actually legitimately disappointed about is that Oberstar lost his seat. Sure, his pork addiction was probably bad for the nation as a whole, but it's the only thing that kept Minnesota transportation alive during T-Paw's ax-man years. If we end up with Emmer, now that we've lost Oberstar, we might as well kiss any chance of developing a legitimate alternative transportation system goodbye.
At least we will have Ellison, right? >.<
