I was reading somewhere that the US was the only major nation who's Election day was not a national holiday or weekend. Can't remember where I read it, though.

In any case, I'm all for it being a National Holiday. Because...day off, if nothing else! And it would get at least some more people to vote, which is a good thing.

I actually don't trust the early voting/absentee ballot/vote by mail thing. The less time that Florida has to interfere with my vote, the better. A vote done in person is at least marginally more likely to be counted.

[GlyphGryph]

If I lived in Florida, I wouldn't trust mailing them in anyways.

Because... well, you really just need to read the news. Ohio, either, for that matter. Both states are chucking out boatloads of early votes, from what I understand.

Did you guys hear that Romney got charged with tax fraud and ethics violations?

When will he be joining Jill Stein in jail?

The uninformed, snarky cynist in me says never.


The slightly more informed, more sincere (but no more serious) realist in me agrees with him.

What's your predictions for tomorrow? From me, Obama will win without question, but by a small margin.

I predict much whining, crying and excuses from the loser's side.  A double down on masturbatory legislation while still refusing to compromise, but blaming the other side for it.

[Nadaka]

The likelihood that the someone will attempt every legal and illegal trick that they can in order to get Obama out of office is high enough I won't hazard a guess on the outcome.

That's what I predict too. Of course, being an Obama supporter who gets most of my news from liberal-oriented sites as well as an optimist in situations like these means my judgement definitely has a good percent error.

Right now it's tilted toward Obama, but you can never be too sure.

Yeah, why don't you guys just vote on Sunday?

Well, Sunday would never work because it's the Lord's day, and half the country would have a cow.

But then we'd get that half the country out of the political process, and without "that demographic" we could finally move on.

Bad Sealy. Deliberately excluding demographics from the voting process is for the other side.

I guess... but it'd still be their choice, so it's not a perfect comparison.

Herman Cain is on The Daily Show semi-occasionally playing the part of hypothetical President Cain. They give him various situations and have him speech it up for them. And generally it's hilarious. I'm not sure about him as president... but seriously, someone give that man a tv show.

Hahahaha! Baller Friday, baby! Herman "Sugar" Cain.

I'm sorry, I love Jon Stewart, but I doubt this'll match up with the "unintentionally" [i.e. completely intentionally] funny Herman Cain period on TCR.

"What is this crap, engineer? God dammit!"

[Cthulhu]

It totally is, even as a joke.  Putting the election on Sunday morning would totally be seen as deliberately trying to disenfranchise Christians.

Although, don't a lot of churches end up as polling stations?  I know I'm going to a fire station tomorrow.

Anyway, I predict that Romney takes popular vote by a very small margin, and loses in the college.  Republicans conveniently forget 2000 and get mad, calling for electoral reform.  Birthers might get another couple minutes on the stage.
