Europe and the rest of the world all love the anti-christ, for whatever reason. I saw this first hand when I went to Spain and met people for about 5 different countries. ......................... vet combatL1 ped1 paintladder semiprocombat ped2 wv pvp4 pvp1 gwped paintball pvp3 pvp5 slay2013 marshal circuit2 combat1 e2g raceL1 gwextrav gateautumn pvp2 triangle1 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 3:19 pm Last edited Nov 4, 2008, 3:20 pm by Longo

Something which scares a lot of people. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 3:56 pm

*Longo* Longos Merry Men Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 6,677 Joined: Dec 15, 2007 If she becomes the new VP and is utilized correctly, she could do wonders. Her knowledge of energy issues is second to none. Everyone is worried McCain will die in office. If he survived a POW camp for 6 years, I think he still has it in him to survive the Whitehouse for 4. I think the US male mortality rat eis around 76 now, that would put him at the end of his term. ......................... vet combatL1 ped1 paintladder semiprocombat ped2 wv pvp4 pvp1 gwped paintball pvp3 pvp5 slay2013 marshal circuit2 combat1 e2g raceL1 gwextrav gateautumn pvp2 triangle1 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 4:48 pm

*Chase Bansi* Team Bansi Darkwind Guru Merchants Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 693 Joined: Aug 13, 2007 I think a better poll would be 'Did you vote?' Although there are problems with the system it certainly doesn't work if people don't participate. Regardless of who wins we'll have plenty to complain about for the next 4 years. ......................... marshal vet gateautumn wv e2g0,1,0 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 6:06 pm

Valiance The Vanguards Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Storytellers Posts: 1,180 Joined: Jan 15, 2008 Does it really take that long to vote? In the world's most vociferous democracy? It has never taken me more than twenty minutes to vote (8 minutes walk each way, 4 minutes to show my voting papers, get my name crossed off, vote and put the slip in the ballot box) I have seen that Americans may have to wait 8 hours to vote? Why? Surely a nation that believes in democracy could invest a tiny bit of money in the infrastructure of democracy? Or are these reports just British papers not getting the point? ......................... vet combat1 wv ped1 northernsummer sssc deathrce1 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 6:14 pm

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,605 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 In my opinion, Val, at least around here (rural) there are more people voting this year than any other. The polls are setup to accommodate what they've always accommodated, which is a small percentage of eligible voters. When you get "a crowd," it's not that it's impossible, just not ordinary. This is a polarizing election, I think... JL ......................... vet marshal deathrceL1 wv community combatL1 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 6:16 pm

*Ninesticks* The Wombles Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 3,371 Joined: Apr 11, 2008 Val, I worked as a polling station presiding officer at our last general and local elections and whilst well paid, money is certainly not thrown at it (unless team biscuits count). Many of our polling stations operate either at single or double capacity based upon local population density (as in numbers of people - not the other way!) and/or the type of election - and with a turnout of about 45% we ticked over during the day. An uplift of 50% on that turnout say would have caused considerable delays. ......................... vet wv marshal pvp4 community pvp20,1,0 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 6:51 pm

Yeah, sure JL. The point is that her role (whether for or against) is so important because of McCain's age. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 4, 2008, 8:24 pm

*jimmylogan* MADHAT Darkwind Guru Civs Faction Group: Marshals + Rule Council Posts: 5,605 Joined: Jun 11, 2008 I disagree, to a degree... Among my local (non-virtual) social group, the age is not a key factor. Yes, he's older, but Reagan was older as well, so age is not necessarily "bad."

*Lugal* Luna Sea Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 2,246 Joined: Jan 27, 2008 I had absolutely no delay at all. Walk up, sign in, vote, and out. Took me all of five minutes. I was expecting a line because of higher-than-normal turn out, and because I was getting there during the evening 'rush.' The long lines were making the news, but I don't know how representative they really were. ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Nov 5, 2008, 6:20 pm

Whiskey Whiskey Runners Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 691 Joined: Sep 19, 2008 My wife and I were in and out in under 15-minutes. I wonder about these news reports of hours long lines to vote. Considering that the typical US citizen is pretty apathetic when it comes to voting, I strongly suspect that most polling locations are staffed based on "typical" voter turn out. When they get an election like this one that brings out many times the "typical" number of voters, the system breaks down. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 5, 2008, 7:06 pm
