2. A number of them have stressed that! Mass is so great!
Standing proud, casting their ballots & speaking out for EVERY vote counts! Love 'em!

3. Exactly, It was wonderful to hear them say, "John F. Kerry, the man who
should be president."

5. Middleboro
We vote on paper too!

And we almost went for Kerry.

Usually this town is 75/25 Republican. Bush won by a handful of votes only.

7. Manchester ("by the sea") snob central...
There are at least twice as many Rep. as Dems in this town, and Kerry carried it by a margin of about 500 votes!

We vote on paper too!

I think MA has a different kind of Rep. than the rest of the country.

I missed them saying that about JK - but it makes me proud! :hi:

8. I think these are the true margins - not just in MA but in a lot of the US
So many Republicans don't like Bush...

10. Here in Oregon, we DIDN'T have Vote Fraud. WE VOTE BY MAIL
No standing in line for 7 hours. Why don't you people in other states.........get in INITIATIVE on your states and vote in VOTE BY MAIL.

No lousy cheating machines. Every vote counts!!!

6. I am sorry I missed that, but i heard another good one from PA
During Pennsylvania's, they had a rabbi speak and then give a prayer, and out of the blue he referred to the meaning of Hanukkah (sp?), being connected to people who despair in times of great difficulty, because they feel powerless against forces that are so much greater than they are, and for them to have faith. He said a little more, and I am sorry I can't remember it all. I just stopped in my tracks. This had nothing to do with what was going on in the PA capitol building and everything to do with what was going on in Columbus OH today, in my mind anyway.

9. Yes, it was very powerful listening to PA, as well
We all know that WE are the majority view....and the other phony holier that thou extremists are in the minority. Our Johnny won by a landslide. I know it's true!!

And, I happen to have very keen instincts!
