Woo hoo -- Rachel is talking about our 98% registration rate here in Michigan

[SharonRB]

:woohoo:

[Katha]

1. Michigan should be so proud of itself

That is an enviable registration percentage.

[SharonRB]

3. I know I am

I just hope everyone turns out to vote. How amazing would that be?

[GigiMommy]

2. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!

:hi: Good for the Mitten!!!!!

[SharonRB]

6. Hurray for us, huh, Gigi?

At least we're doing something right for a change.

[thunder rising]

4. A state on a mission! Cool!

5. fabulous!

[Applepie]

7. I am proud to be one of them!

I hope everything goes smoothly on election day. I wish we had early voting here.

[SharonRB]

8. Me, too

I've been thinking about voting absentee because I'll be volunteering on election day, but I really like going to the polls. I'll just have to get there right at 7 so I can get out of there quickly. I live in Huntington Woods, which is pretty small, so the wait shouldn't be too bad. We always have a big vote turnout, so it shouldn't really be any worse than any other presidential year.

9. With so many of us out of work,

people have more time to wait in long lines. I live in Lapeer. Rural Republican county.

[SharonRB]

10. I'm working, but hubby hasn't worked in five years

I'm taking Nov. 3, 4 and 5 off, and I'm so ready for a few days off!

11. Wait, 98% of Michigan is registered to vote? Really?

Any link to that?

20. Good going Michigan!!!

Here in California, as of Sep 5, 2008, the SoS reported that 70% of eligible voters are registered.

I think it will be around 75% now, since the deadline passed a few days ago.

[Berry Cool]

21. Good going, Michigan! K&R! n/t

[NEVERBAGDOWN]

22. My sisters are in Michigan...

I cheered for Michigan for the Obama/Biden ticket from Chicago...Yaaaaaayah Michigan!!!!

[dazzlerazzle]

23. Amazing numbers

I guess it's finally having a candidate that ignites the party and whether some would argue, Howard Dean in my opinion has worked some magic with his strategy and hard work. I may be from Ohio, but right now I see Michigan as one great state.
