will our perception of civic duties ever be the same?

The vote turnout is really impressive. Its more like a party or superbowl. Normally people are quiet while waiting online to vote, and if there is conversation is complaining about the need to wait. Even the tv spots this election were a higher production quality as compared to years past. Maybe we need to let Fox and CNN bid for exclusive coverage rights. Anyway after I voted I took the kiddies to vote at the Bucks county kid election: ...

best election video so far

The combination of cutting edge on-demand video creation and old school guilt! Watch it Edit from 2025: Back in 2008 I really thought we would be doing more of this on demand video creation.

(I have daughters and have a strong opinion about the difference between family values and statutory rape) Anyway I got an email that was anti-Obama in silly ways.
