Two-Early Voting

Two days until "the people" decide if Bush should get a second term at the helm.

While the pundants are depending on polls to determine the outcome of the election. Those of us watching locally are paying close attention to the early voter turnout which is showing record results in several key states: Arkansas, Colorado ,Florida, North Carolina, Texas, National View

Credit has to be given to the Republican and Democratic efforts to successfully mobilize the people to get out and vote.

A big problem is that the conservatives are using fear and intimidation to affect voter turn out.

I wonder how many of these were registered Republicans? GOP Challenges Voters

There has also been some unintended poll taxing and voter intimidation. In Arkansas, voters face the shock and threat of parking tickets while waiting in line to vote.

The big question is will the early voter turnout help Bush or Kerry?

Usually during the general election I email and text message my friends and family around the country reminding them to vote.

This year after hearing so much in the media about blogs. I decided to start my own to express my personal and political views.

Have you done anything special this year to try and motivate your friends and family to get out and vote?
