Do you live in a Post Super Tuesday State?

[Mick Knox]

Just wondering how many out there live in a state voting after today...

thoughts?

[teach1st]

1. I do...

I'll support Kerry in the GE with everything I've got - I'm ABB. I'll vote for somebody else in the primary.

[Padraig18]

2. I do---IL.

We have an important Senate primary.

[JHBowden]

3. Illinois

I'm leaning Hynes for Senate, and will vote Kerry for the presidency.

[never cry wolf]

19. Illinois as well

If DK is still there he's my guy, love for him to have a voice and a few delegates at least.

BTW: Did you see that the Tribune endored Obama? I am telling you, some day Obama is going to be a BIG time national player. His creds are impeccible!

[JHBowden]

33. I love Obama too!

I'm just not convinced he can win. The first thing the average voter is going to think when they see 'Barack Obama' on their ballot is "jihad." On the other hand, the Republican party is so fucked up in this state right now, we might have a chance to squeak someone cool like Obama through.

[never cry wolf]

39. I agree

He will really have to counter the Obama/Osama factor, along with being of color, er, half anyways. But DAMN! First minority prez of harvard law, a constitutional law prof at the U. of Chicago, a very prestigious instution, etc. Plus, he's got the Tiger Woods cute look going for him.

[MuseRider]

4. I will

caucus later this month in Kansas.

[NewJerseyDem]

5. I do

We get to share with Montana the honor of being the last states to vote in the country. Even though, I think there are some states that never vote at all.

[janx]

6. Colorado. Caucus is next month. I'm not happy about this

"front-loaded" primary.

Not at all.

[Crunchy Frog]

40. I'm with you janx.

I'm also not happy with the repukes of our state taking away our primary and replacing it with a caucus.

At least with a primary, I could still vote my heart. I don't think you can do that with a caucus.:-(

[Kenneth ken]

45. actually

a caucus is better. It's like a closed primary, only Dems get to attend, you vote your candidate and select delegates to send to the convention. So if your precinct caucus only has 6 people show up, and 4 of you want the same candidate, that is who your delegate supports at convention.

( or something close to like that. )

[in_cog_ni_to]

7. I do.

Clark gets my vote on the 16th....I'm in Illinois.

Forgot the Senate vote....Obama will get our votes. :)

[corporatewhore]

8. votin for DK deep in the heart of Texas

[hedda_foil]

9. Illinois

Still voting for Dean and OBAMA!

[ronzo]

10. Yep.

_hurrah.

[jus_the_facts]

49. I'm here too Ron......"Ever get the feelin' you're bein' cheated?"

....*le sigh* :evilfrown:

[democratreformed]

11. Arkansas May18

[Blue_Roses]

23. Arkansas here too

nT

[NoPasaran]

12. Yes I do

Texas

March 9

Howard Dean

November 2

John Kerry

[x-g.o.p.er]

13. Florida here, and I'm angry

That my voice doesn't matter. I'll vote, but my party's nominee is now a foregone conclusion. I feel kinda cheated.

[TSIAS]

14. Florida

Our Senate primary isn't until August 31, so it's the Democratic Presidential Primary and some local races.

[Momof1]

15. PA

I'm still voting for Clark.

[tll]

36. Yeah, PA

Feeling a little heartbroken, a little resentful (and a big primal scream directed at the media)... biting back an "oh, you mean some states haven't held theirs yet?"

I worry that this process is discouraging to new voters as I know it is to me... I'll continue to vote; I know how important it is but ,something went missing for me tonight.

[NuckinFutz]

58. yeah another one in PA..

and I feel ignored and disheartened.

[Paradox_Mystery]

16. Illinois

Any fellow Illinoisians have suggestions for involvement in the Kerry campaign? This is my first presidential election.

[aldian159]

29. check your e-mail in like 10 minutes

you can't get PMs yet, so e-mail will do.

[mlawson]

17. Yeah, NC!

Thanks a hell of a LOT, NC Dem party, for having our primary in May!!!

I suppose I will be obliged to vote for Erskine Bowles (the party's annointed one) for Edwards' senate seat, which he will LOSE again!

The last time the primary season sucked this bad was in 1968. And 1984. And 1988.

[dolo amber]

27. Are you sure it's in May?

I heard on WUNC it'd been moved to June...:shrug:

edit: It still says May 4th, I SWEAR I heard it was moved...

[Mick Knox]

18. Maybe we need to look at the system..

thats allotta country to be left out IMO... kinda sad... not flame bait here.. I mean it.. that blows. Texas .. Florida.. Ill. big time states... especially.

[Ediacara]

20. Montana is dead last

in June!

[greendog]

47. Another Montana Voter......

June 8th. Grrrrrr.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

21. Arkansas primary is in May

we are used to being ignored. But then that makes it ok for me to vote for Dean, so his delegates will have a word at the convention.

[Blue_Roses]

24. yeah ARK here too

why are these states always last?

[beachbum]

22. Yup.. Texas here

And I dont get it. Whats the point? Next Tuesday, I will go vote for Edwards. Then on the general election day, I will go vote for Kerry. :shrug:

Why isn't the Democratic primary held for all states on the same day???? I AM going to go down there and do my thing! But I feel like gee... whats the point?!?!?

[Blue_Roses]

25. I agree

Why aren't these all held on ONE night? It doesn't make sense.

[Mick Knox]

28. I agree as well.. but the reason is

A chance at changing after seeing a thorough campaign.. Clinton would never have one IMO if it was your way.

[Mick Knox]

42. zkick

[Piltdown13]

44. Well, there are the local races!

I just did my absentee ballot today. Interestingly, there were also a couple of really *interesting* referenda on the ballot -- one about SS and Medicare privatization and/or abolishment (that's right, abolishment) and the other about "protecting the taxpayers" by preventing the state from ever passing measures that would require localities to raise property taxes. I'm a bit suspicious, because referenda are usually done at the general election, and nobody (at least in El Paso) seems to have heard anything about them.

But I can sympathize, though...stinks not to really have a say!

:hi:

[newyawker99]

50. Hi beachbum!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[aldian159]

26. Yeah

IL votes march 16th.

[kayleybeth]

30. March 9th

I'm voting for General Clark next Tuesday. After that I'll get behind Kerry and do what I can to help defeat Smirk next November.

[ramapo]

31. NJ - June - Our vote never matters

I'll vote anyway. Probably for Dennis since he's the one I'd REALLY like to see as President. I'll do all I can for Kerry.

[TakebackAmerica]

32. I do- Oregon

Will vote for Wes Clark.

[dansolo]

34. I'm in IL

My votes are going to Dean and Obama

[GreenArrow]

35. yep

a Bush (TM) friendly state, at that.

[Hippo_Tron]

37. Louisiana...

Kinda think Edwards should've stayed in for here to see how well he does amongst Independents/Republicans since it is a completely open primary.

[Pastiche423]

38. Oregon - May 18

Voting for Dean.

[AbbeyRoad]

41. Illinois

I know the entire nomination process hinges on my vote. Don't worry. You've only got to wait two more weeks. :silly:

[Piltdown13]

43. Live in IN, still legally a resident of TX

Either way, it would be over before I get to vote...though I did mark and send my TX absentee ballot this afternoon!

[Khephra]

46. Indiana here

It sucks...I hate having no say in the process.

[salin]

54. another hoosier

am concerned about the lateness (may) and how the end of the pres primaries two months eariler might depress turnout.

[TheDonkey]

48. Pennsylvania here

don't mind much cause I support Kerry.

Plan to vote for Sharpton though.

[chocolateeater]

51. Kentucky

Dean in the primary, Kerry in the fall.

[Dhalgren]

52. I do

Alabama - in June. I will vote for the future. I will vote Kucinich.

[mrgorth]

53. Me

PA. Voting for Dean and I can't wait. ABB in GE.

[NNN0LHI]

55. Illinois. And it does not bother me one bit either

Some state has to start and some state has to end. Thats the way it works.
