who else is stressing over tonight?

even if you did take away the EC, the polls are showing Bush up by like a huge # of votes nationally. I stood in line in the pouring rain in Ohio for 2 hrs to vote Bush.

Likewise.

What happened with all of us 18-25 voters?

I thought we were supposed to "Vote (Kerry) or Die"?

Sounds like UNHCLL was a Kerry supporter. Look its going to take a miracle for Kerry to get 130k+ provisional and absentee ballots which makes me a happy man.

In all honesty, I go to whats called a "liberal arts" college, and what ive really found is a bunch of people that arent so liberal. I think the dems took the young voters for granted, that if they could get them out to vote, it would be for Kerry. I walk behind and infront of the dorms everyday, and in the windows are where people put their Kerry or Bush signs. I did a little pre election analysis: I saw about 12-15 Bush signs, and 3 Kerry signs in windows. I thought that was interesting coming from a school thats supposed to be so "liberal".

You are a FUCKING IDIOT.

[bmwannabe]

and why might you say that?

liberal arts
pl.n.

Academic disciplines, such as languages, literature, history, philosophy, mathematics, and science, that provide information of general cultural concern.

[bmwannabe]

yes, exactly, cultural artsy fartsy shit that no one gives a fuck about, a bunch of fucking queer baits who run around trying to get their degree in theater, when in all honesty what are you gonna do with that? NADA. Im just here for econ.

The only way the electoral college will ever be abolished is if it negatively affects both major parties. If Kerry somehow manages to pull out a win in OH and gain the 270+ needed, while losing the popular vote, the Republicans in both houses of Congress would call for the abolition of the college. The Dems would most likely agree because of the results of the 2000 election.
The electoral college actually gives the electorate of small states MORE power than those of large states. If one were to compare the populations of CA and WY, for example, they would notice that if you take the total population of the state and divide it by the number of electoral votes that state receives, Wyoming would have a MUCH lower number of voters per electoral vote. The abolition of the college wouldn't change the nature of either campaign one bit. The Dems would still campaign in the large urban areas heavily, while avoiding the Bible-Belt. And the Republicans would still campaign to their base in the South and mid-west.
Regarding the low youth voter turn-out, it's something that needs to be analyzed state-by-state. Nationally, the numbers of voters 18-24 hasn't changed much (if at all). However, if one looks at a state such as Pennsylvania, they'll notice that voter turnout among young voters rose immensely.

P.S.
I go to whats called a "State University", and I have yet to see one Bush sign (not joking). I've deduced that must be nobody at the U of O who voted for Bush.

And what does a picture of your brother have to do with this?

But NE ways... Its a school where most of the kids are theater majors and majoring in education, typically liberal subject matter.

And your visual poll of the ratio of Bush signs to Kerry signs was enough for you to determine the ratio of voters on your campus? You also live in Ohio, which aside from the heavily urban areas, is a solidly conservative state...

You don't understand. Liberal in the terms of liberal arts has nothing to do with liberal policits.
