Ready to Vote!

I live in downstate Illinois, so my vote in the general election for Governor, US Senator or President doesn't matter.

In next Tuesday's primary I have decided to take out a Republican ballot. This is a first and I feel kind of strange.

Illinois does not require a picture ID, so there is no reason I should have to remove the bag.

Just be careful:

1) What store's logo is on it.
2) What was in it before it went over your head. Depending on the length of the lines, the aroma may sway your vote. LOL

Same here. The paper said that Santorum cancelled his visit here and will go to Missouri instead. Not feeling the love from the republicans.

I normally vote in the Democratic primary and split my vote in the general election.

The only place where I feel my vote might matter this year is in the Republican Primary. I would like to see the general election be Romney v Obama. If that is the outcome, I am not sure how I would vote. I like both candidates, but disagree with each on particular issues. Romney is the only Republican running that I would consider voting for.

See, I get to take out the dem ballot...haven't ever taken a republican primary ballot, my father would raise from the dead and slap it outta my hands!
Also, I'm actually on the ballot in my precinct...so I feel I should vote for me...at least I'll get 1 vote!
