Chesepeake state voters (Maryland, DC, and Virginia): who is ready for next Tuesday? Check in!
This also goes to the folks who are getting their voices heard this weekend in Louisiana, Nebraska, Washington State, and Maine.

We get our vote to mean something because the delegate count is so close. :-)

Are you ready and who are you voting for?

I'm voting for Obama.

3. I just hope Voters will
inform themselves.
People in my office were saying Obama would make a great
president. When I asked exactly why, they couldn't say anything
beyond he looks like a nice person.
No one knew that our top economist had pariased HRC's health and
economy proposals, and discredited Obama's. Or that HRC had
done a ton of work and pushed through legislation for Nurses
and many other sectors, and Obama in one instance ended
up protecting business AGAINST his contituance. (In the case of
the Nuclear Power Plant leaking radioactivity - Obama received
hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Nuke people, and drew
up a bill protecting them against his district.
Voters just know Obama speaks well and looks nice.
Inform yourselves!

4. If truth be told, a voter can't go wrong by voting for either of our
very capable candidates. It's between I have a dream and I have a plan, and I think this country needs both. It's going to be a very close race but in the end, we can't lose.

7. Hey, among my friends there are more Hillary supporters
I thought Maryland is for Hillary.

Hertopos, Baltimore, Maryland.

Does anyone knows about current polls for MD,DC, VA?

10. I saw a Maryland poll last week on TV
And it said that Obama had a sizeable lead. They said that O'Mailly's endorsement of Clinton doesn't help her case since he is not doing so great as far as popularity. But I haven't been able to find any polling on the internet. DC is going Obama but I have no clue of what is happening in VA as far as who is stronger so far.

26. O'Malley is the worst Governor ever
I'm so sorry I voted for him. I just can't even believe how terrible he is. It definitely doesn't help Hillary to be associated with him.

18. depends on your social circle...
i personally do not know a single clinton supporter in my home town.

including every female too...but then again most of my social circle is under 35

my mom and grandma support clinton if that makes anyone feel better, but they don't live here.

8. I'm in Maryland too, Montgomery County (DC metro)
Hillary has been endorsed by O'Mailly who is not very popular here in Maryland lately. I remember seeing a poll on TV showing Obama has a nice lead here in Maryland. DC will go Obama and I have no idea what is happening in Virginia.

12. It's good to be undecided
That way you can filter out the info and not buy the biased bullshit that comes out all the time. We do have two great candidates. It's a good dilemma in my opinion.

15. Thanx.
I look at the 'biased bullshit' in terms of how it might translate in a GE, knowing though that we aren't in the GE and haven't seen the RNC's hand. It's basically about electability to me at this point.

22. Maybe because DE already went, he couldn't say Delmarva so he made something up.
I have never heard of "Chesapeake States" either.

20. Obama should win either 2 of those or all 3
She might have a shot at Virginia, since so many defense contractors are located there.
