What state are you in and when is your primary? I just read mine

[babylonsister]

in TX is in March. :wtf: I'll have to bitch a bit more! So, will you have any say in anything-will your vote count? If it does, I'm envious. And yes, I still plan on voting-because I can.

[More Than A Feeling]

1. Iowa. 'nuff said.

[babylonsister]

5. Yep. Do you know how lucky you are? Or

what a responsibility you have? No pressure. :P :hi:

[More Than A Feeling]

15. I do know.

I hope you all like what we come up with. This is the last go-around for the "first in the nation" Iowa Caucus, so we better go out with a bang. Next cycle, we won't be first anymore.

[babylonsister]

22. Why do you think you won't be first anymore? I hope we like who

you come up with also; did you respond to the DMR after their selections?

[gateley]

2. Yeah - I think mine's in MAY! Hell, why bother? North Carolina, by the way.

[WheelWalker]

41. I'm two weeks after you, gateley. Oregon.

[gateley]

43. I wonder why ALL the states (except for Iowa and NH) don't just have their

primaries on Super Tuesday.....

[WheelWalker]

44. I have a gut feeling it won't be over before we vote...What do you think?

[gateley]

45. Oh, God -- I don't know if I could TAKE it for that long! I'm a wreck waiting

for Iowa!

[tekisui]

3. May 6 here in NC.

Let me know who ya'll choose for the Democratic Nominee.

[NC_Nurse]

55. Exactly.

[oasis]

4. Nevada. I'll caucus for HillaryJan. 19th.

[K Gardner]

6. Tennessee, Feb 5th. The idgits here will go for whomever's name

they've seen or heard lately. Don't expect any out of the box thinkin from these here parts. So my vote essentially won't count, unless I'm voting with the herd.

[Lucinda]

47. Tennessee for me too

My joy is that I'll cancel out at least one stupid vote.

[Clark2008]

56. Tennessee here, too.

But, I still don't have a candidate. :(

I'll probably go with Kucinich because of single-payer, but I know he doesn't have a shot in hell.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. California--and ours is in February...

I believe my vote will have some weight...

I'm voting for Kucinich...

We'll see...

:hi:

[gateley]

46. Peggy - do you have to be registered as a Dem to vote for a Dem in the

Primary there? My best friend lives in LA and knowing him, he's registered as an Independent. I want to know if I need to get him to change party affiliations before the primary.

Thanks for any info -- and go Dennis! :thumbsup:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

49. My dear gateley!

YES....you do have to be registered as a Dem in order to vote in the primary!

Get on your friend right away...

Yes...Go Dennis! :thumbsup:

:hi:

[gateley]

50. Thank you so much! I'll be calling him tomorrow. I'm sorry to tell you,

though, that he'll be voting for Biden -- but at least he'll be voting!

Thanks again!!

:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

51. He needs to vote his heart in the primary...

Just as I am doing!

And for whoever our candidate is, in the general!

You're welcome!

:hi:

[tammywammy]

8. March 4 - Texas

[babylonsister]

9. I'm voting!

Thanks, tammywammy.

[tammywammy]

18. Me too

[balantz]

10. Arizona, February 5th

[sandnsea]

11. May

That's why all this primary bitching cracks me up. Everybody can't go first and I really don't think we want to turn it into a national election were money really is all that matters. I can contribute money, volunteer to phone bank, write letters, etc. I trust the people in the rest of the country as much as I trust my own state.

[emilyg]

12. Georgia 2-5

[MrSlayer]

13. PA and April 22nd. Will be meaningless at that point.

And I will again vote for Kucinich.

[ElizabethDC]

14. Florida. So . . . technically on January 29, but effectively never. n/t

[ChiciB1]

20. Me Too! Bill Nelson et al! n/t

[cal04]

16. New York and ours is Feb 5

http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/primaries/democraticprimaries/index.html

[babylonsister]

19. Lots going on on Feb. 5th, sounds like. I thought that was the

last day of the primaries, and thought that was South Carolina's day. Now I learn more states have primaries on Feb. 5.
I didn't know that and don't know if they will impact what will be happening.

[cal04]

26. I didn't know it was so many on that day

looks like the most states will be voting that day
It took me a while to find that list

[babylonsister]

27. cal04! What's really weird is I'm

out of town before then, for my birthday w/my twin in MX, 3 Feb, and for our spouses, SuperBowl on 3 Feb. :eyes: But I'm out of here, so I won't know what happened. I may try to finagle an internet connection to see what happens on 5 Feb. Sigh. November can't come soon enough for me. I think...

[cal04]

32. you have a twin, how nice

sounds like you'll have a great time.
I can't wait until this horror is out of the WH

[babylonsister]

39. Nice? Ha! I've never 'not' had one, so I can't say.

Yes, fun will be had by all unless the Yucatan turns into Hurricane Alley in February. If that happens, I'd probably try to make the best of it and say it was a fluke while totally agreeing with Al Gore, again, and.... melting!

I can't wait for the end of the horror, and I love my family; for all the foibles of all of us, they had better be worth it, or what is?

[LakeSamish706]

17. Heres a decent link with all the Primary dates!

http://www.vote-smart.org/election_president_state_primary_dates.php

[babylonsister]

23. Thanks. That needs its own thread sometime soon. nt

[Beacool]

21. New Jersey - February 5th

[goodgd_yall]

24. California---Super Tuesday, Feb. 5 n/t

[Egnever]

25. Nevada I'll be there

Cant wait !

[babylonsister]

28. This is your first year for a primary; what do you think about the ads, the

obsession, or hasn't it hit there yet? Are you getting inundated?

[Egnever]

57. Actually

Its our first year for a caucus and our first year to be so soon in the process. Adds have just started to appear. Up until now its been fairly quiet. The candidates have all been here though several times. Nothing like Iowa though. I am looking forward too see what happens during the break between NH and US. there is I think an 11 day break in there and I expect to see a blitz during that.

[AspenRose]

29. Feb 12th for Maryland and Virginia.

eom

[MzShellG]

30. SC and voting January 26...

In Obama country!!!

[babylonsister]

31. I can't tell you how happy I am to hear there's an Obama

country in SC. My bro lives closer to the coast in SC, and I saw him recently.
Politics were forbidden, so I don't know how he thinks, to tell you the truth. He is a rethug, but if he changed, he might have told me.

[MzShellG]

38. Yeah...

I can only speak for my area, Columbia. Richland county is a blue island surrounded by a sea of red with pockets of purple. We showed Senator Obama lots of love last Sunday. I even volunteered and got to shake his hand!!! Whats so nice is that they showed that very moment on the NBC nightly news and I'm in the background during his speech on the video at: sc.barackobama.com

[pansypoo53219]

33. WI never counts.

we did go for Jesse jackson in 88'. even then we knew dukakis was a loser.

[babylonsister]

35. Awww, here's a hug!

:hug:

I've got nothin' from TX either, big time!

And I'm a NYer; don't get me started! :D

[Yukari Yakumo]

34. Montana. June 3. Dead last in the nation (along with South Dakota). {nt}

uguu

[K Gardner]

36. I had to go back and do a double take... JUNE??? Cripes,

is this system screwed up or what...

[babylonsister]

37. You count less than I do, and I don't count at all either. Have faith!

We're not alone.

[WheelWalker]

40. Oregon - May 20.... Not that far ahead of Montana & SD

[calteacherguy]

42. California. Ours is on Super Tuesday...

so it actually might matter for once!

[Occam Bandage]

48. IL, Super Tuesday. Strange, seeing how late some of these are. Still, everyone, go and vote.

Primaries determine who gets the delegates, and even if the nominee's decided, the delegates decide what the party platform will be.

[Skittles]

52. Texas = your vote does not count

Kerry was a done deal before the voting ever got near here. It pisses me off because as a Dem in Texas I find my vote rarely counts for anything

[MaineDem]

53. Maine - February 10th caucuses

I'm hoping things are still undecided after Super Tuesday, Feb 5.

[LWolf]

54. May 20th. What do you think? n/t

[youthere]

58. Iowan here..caucusing for Biden.

[Blue_In_AK]

59. Alaska - February 5 caucus

So far only Clinton, Obama and Dodd have entered the race here. The others have until January 7 to get in, so they'd better get with it. I like Dodd, but I want more choice than this.

[redqueen]

60. I'm in TX... my vote won't mean anything.

I'll still vote for Kucinich. What the hey... why not.

*sigh*
