Tim Kaine seals the deal.  I may very publicly soon campaign for Clinton-Kaine.  My free time.  :(

FYI, when I volunteered at a presidential campaign (Phil Graham 199whatever) all the full time staff were stone cold heaterectomies.

Richard Hakluyt

So Languish is solidly behind Clinton. With our track record that means that Trump must be a shoo-in  :huh:

Considering Jill Stein is an imbecile and her party supports things like herbal remedies and anti-vax you should probably keep that to yourself.

:D

I think my vote is obvious. ^_^

All I've seen so far are attractive 20-something-year-old women and gay guys.  Grassroots leadership here in the northern Virginia area, such as the local precinct captain, also seem to be well-put-together professional women in their 30's and 40's.

Gay guys love campaigning. 90% of the Remain campaigners I met in London were posh, loud gays.

Hm, that may have lead me to vote Leave tbh.

Hey now, I said closest.  Not identical. :rolleyes:

Hey we don't want BA on our side. You saw what happened when he abandoned the Kansas City Royals because they would never win.

But I guess I do have to ask...would you really want somebody as President advancing those kinds of ideas? I mean I presume when you say you would vote for Jill you mean you think we would be best off with her as President.

I'm not a fan of any of the options this time out in all honesty.  I am a big fan of additional viable parties entering the scene though.  As such, I've voted third party in every Presidential election since I turned 18 as well as supporting candidates through their non-Democrat/Republican party affiliations when voting in other elections.

Ok that's fair. I have certainly been there before. And, as you say, New York doesn't seem like a battleground.

If I got to chose the president from the people running, I'd definitely pick Gary Johnson. In part because I know his daughter (though not very well) and she is really cool. Also, he has climbed the seven summits and done a sub 11 hour iron man, and that rocks. Also, he was something of a rock climber.

But it is tough for me to vote for him if that could mean Trump is president. I guess my vote is symbolic anyway as Georgia isn't going to be decisive in the election, so do I want to cast a symbolic vote against Trump through a legitimate contender or a zero chance contender that I prefer?  :hmm:

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I might be a bad citizen because I don't know any election I get to vote in except for president.  :(

Probably doesn't matter though. Statewide races are won by republicans, and I think where I live recently got moved from an uber democratic district to an uber republican one. Sometimes there are interesting referenda, though, which I usually vote against on principle. Except for the time I emphatically voted for allowing sunday alcohol sales.

In this election, do you think the usual qualifications about safe Republican/Democrats districts, states, battlegrounds, still hold? Or do you think Donald Drumpf's candidacy messes things somewhat?
