oh right, ambiguous. i meant it’s either a direct election or party election isn’t it? How can it be technically a direct election but comes down to party voting.

The third parties are yippy little dogs that **** on the big parties’ shoes so they’ll focus on which towel they’d use to clean up their token messes. It’s basically down to which of two best represents what you’d prefer happen.

you vote directly for every position on the ballot. theres an option to choose to go straight democrat/republican but you can pick and choose. there are many registered republicans this year voting for obama.

you mean you can vote Obama for President with Palin as Vice-President? or do you mean state elections are combined with the federal election?

jello

but yeah we’re voting for congressmen/senators as well as propositions and other more local positions.

Proposition 8 Amendment 2 (**** California!), amirite?

My Sample Ballot

My dad, after saying that I’d fully jump on Obama’s bandwagon so I could dance around like an idiot for a bit before going back to my room, confirmed that I was voting for Obama and then said that I am an idiot, not just acting like one, but, “if that’s [my] prerogative…” Log in to see images!
