Yes as long as its one of the 125.9 million women in the US not named HRC.

LOL
I would've answered the same with R names like M. Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Fiorina, or also with delusional-kale-eating-progressives' darling Jill Stein (who hasn't been shown in all her ridiculousness only because she hasn't polled high enough). So I know what you mean.

Voted a couple of hours ago, nice to be able to get in & out quickly, no queues at that time of day. Also had Pot on the MA ballot which was nice to see.

I wouldn't have any problems with an actual orange being president instead of Agent Orange

in and out... but I hit it (purposefully) at the right time. There were LONG lines in the morning (VA opened at 6am)... and sure to be later in the day.
I have to say... it is wonderful to still get that warm and fuzzy feeling when you fulfill your duty to vote. I probably had a dopey grin on my face walking out.. and could have flown home. Really is a great feeling.
the Democratic machine was on full display here.. one of Hillary's primary firewall states (PA,VA,CO,WI)... had 3 visits by volunteers on Sunday-Monday to make sure I was voting.. and knew where to go. Good to see women so involved... 5 of the 6 people that came to my door were women.
Girl power.... damn right

True about the machine. In just the last 4 days I have received 3 calls from the Democratic Party on Florida about the election and poll locations and more. May be because I am registered D or not, but I don;t see much ground game from Narcissus team

 it is all about data and analytics.... Obama showed the path.. the GOP did pick up on that. I don't know about you Teo.. but it wasn't just a social call (though I think that chick last night wished it was.. .whoo.. HOO... she felt the McHeat.. saw her immediately toss playing with her hair when I answered the door).. whoo.. anyhow. They were coming for me... they have lists.. and they were making sure we. Registered Dems were going to vote. I'm sure there are mobile homes across the country whose doors Trump people are putting their fists through in attempts to knock on.. to turn out their vote. The difference though.. is quanitative... 4-1 ... that was always what was going to decide this election. That was the advantage the Democratic machine had over the GOP in terms of money and manpower to turn out the vote. The seismic (and ultimately what will likely prove decisve) shift in early voting numbers favoring democrats...pushing to get new democratic leaning voters (ie HISPANIC) registered.. early voting when possible.. and to the polls today when not.. that is what will win the election for her.

speaking of early voting... 42 million early votes. Not likely to reach the 40% some thought it might. Likely to be close to a 3rd of all voters voted early. Still a good increase from 2012.
and the early vote advantage for Democrats in Florida... 90k.. doesn't sound much until you look back to the past. Where Republicans banked advantages in the 6 digits in early voting... like Nevada... the polls in Florida may have that state much closer than it is in reality.
Teo? Did you early vote? We don't have it here in VA.. I'm not sure I would if I could. I do enjoy the feeling of going to Sam Tucker and participating in Democracy on election day... it is a warm and fuzzy feeling that early voting just wouldn't match.

It's weird there's pictures of huge lines and historic turnout all over the city, but when I went to vote there were 4 people there including my wife and I.

I didn't.  I'm so used to voting on Election Day (an actual thing you know outside the US  ) that I've never cared to even think about early voting. I'm leaving work and going to my polling location (literally 2 minutes from my house) to cast my Hillary vote, big blue D across the ballot, and Yes to medical weed (I'd have recreational one you know but what can I do in this sorry backwards state ) And of course read all the other propositions and vote accordingly.

About the ground game, Trump has run, besides his ideas and personality, the most administratively incompetent campaign possible ever.
Why do Trump voters (the 56 non-racist ones) say they vote for him? Because they think he can run the country as one of his organizations.

yeah.... pigs will fly before Va gets high man... too many yokels still in the state house... remember this is the state that gave everyone Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson... if not for the huge blue of Northern Va.. this state would be Oklahoma shades of red. I doubt I'd ever early vote even if I could... too much like grocery shopping... just another chore. To vote on election day.. that is something special. then again... I have always been a sentimental old fool...

hahahah... funny.. WAY too funny.. I had a 'discussion' with GC on the job I was who was like... Trump is a great businessman... the country should run like one.. and I was like....the same guy who ran the single WORST campaign known to American political history... lost money on f**king casinos and with more bankrupcies than most prog fans can count sexual experiences.
