I told my husband to go get some booze last night because it is illegal to sell alcohol on election day. He told me that is horse hockey. I can't remember where I heard that, but does anyone know if this is true or is it just a myth? Or is it, maybe, that it was illegal to sell booze on election...

No? Then you're behind! Starbucks will give a free tall cup of brewed coffee on Tuesday to anyone who votes. One cup per customer; it's on the honor system, a company spokeswoman tells us. Read about the deal here. Watch the "If you vote, Starbucks buys you coffee" commercial.

With just five days left before Election Day, I'd like to share some observations from my campaign.  It's referred to as "down-ballot" because people go to the polls to vote for president, and state offices - then, somewhere near the bottom of the ballot are school board races....

My wife and I decided to absentee vote this year to avoid the long lines. Probably the best decision, besides voting for (insert name here), we’ll make these next few days. She filled out her ballot during the Colts-Titans game, while I was busy trying not to toss the remote control as I...

Most radio talk show hosts are insignificant blowhards who can't get anyone to listen to them in real life. They'll talk about anything to get your attention, even intensely private stuff like who and what they're voting for on Nov. 4. Enter Inga Barks and her election picks. — Andrew...

Signing up to be a volunteer at the polls for the June 3 statewide direct primary election has given me a greater appreciation for the work poll volunteers do. It's hard . It's a day-long labor that starts at 6 a.m. and finishes about 14 hours later: an arduous situation from which you know...

Have you ever noticed the FEAR of citizens?  I don't know what they fear, but it seems like people sure have a problem with voicing their opinion and getting involved in politics.  I sit here online occasionally and see what people have to say about politics.  I read today about...

Early this morning, it was time to cast my vote for president (and all the state propositions, of course.) This Super Tuesday, my polling place was the east end of East Hills Mall. Those shop owners and managers are smart. They were open at 8 a.m., I'm sure to catch anyone who might have some...

I did my duty this morning and voted. Boy was I surprised to see a street devoid of vehicles and an empty room when I walked in. Was I in the right place? Seconds later, I was filling in bubbles with a black pen and within a minute, I was on my way to work. Predictions showed record turnout for...

An aide for the Hillary campaign has stated that, according to internal campaign polls, up to 25% of republican females will vote for Hillary Clinton simply because she is a she. I don't know how accurate that number is but I do know that a significant number will do just that and it is no...

  I read the letter to the editors and did not know to laugh or cry at the "wrong time for a woman" president opinion. I am not a Hillary fan nor do I think she is the devil incarnate. But at a time when our current president suggests "we go shop" as a method to combat...

Originally posted at http://groups.yahoo.com/gro... Instant run-off voting is an idea that is gaining traction across the country as a way to breathe some life back into our political system.  So many people believe that their vote is wasted, that they have to vote for...

in my opinion, the ones with the biggest signs and name recognition won the bcsd board members' race, not the best men. and what a disgrace that measure I did not pass! other than that, the house and senate have changed, rummy has resigned, and for that i'm sure i'm not alone in feeling...

Gas will be close to $2.20 a gallon by Election Day.  This will have nothing to do with elections.  It will be due to complex economic phenomenon that frankly -- democrats are just too stupid to understand.  After the elections, gas will go to over $4.00 a gallon but this will be...
