Knit Bloggers for Kerry Unite!

It is one of the wonders of this world that citizens of this country have been able to vote for what kind of government they want for over 200 years. Without fear of reprisal we can decide to throw out the current bunch of elected officials if we decide that we don't like the job they have done for us. I've certainly not made any secret of which side of the political fence that I am on. If you are on the other side of that fence, go vote anyway. We'll all sit on the edge of our chairs Tuesday night and wait for the results.

GO VOTE! I've already cast my ballot. (I vote absentee every year, even if I'm in town, just so I don't get sidetracked by work and not get it done.) My husband joined the local campaign workers this week and spent the day today going door to door reminding people to get out there Tuesday and do their civic duty. I would have gone too, if I hadn't had to go to work today.

Many of the knit bloggers that I read seem to be Kerry/Edwards supporters, though I doubt that I read a representative sample of all knit bloggers. In the spirit of the election season, who are you going to vote for in the presidential election? Cast your ballot in the comment section, and I'll tally them up and post the results. As in real life, duplicate ballots will not be counted!

And my parting shot:

Comments

[Norma]

Kerry/Edwards, duh. ;-)

[Laurie]

If I can't vote for the Quindlen/Ivins ticket, then I'll vote Kerry/Edwards.

You've got to see that Eminem video, "Mosh." It's online here: http://mosh.eminem.com/video/

[Melinda Kaye]

Bush/Cheney for this knitter, but since I don't have a blog, I'm not sure I count!

[Celia]

Kerry/Edwards. I second the suggestion to see Eminem's "Mosh" video. It's brilliant.

[Kerstin]

Kerry. Unlike the cynical media, I think he has the potential to be a very good president. Despite the fact that he has one huge mess to clean up.

[Dorothy]

Sorry, but it's Bush/Cheney for me. Not crazy about it, but to me better than the alternative. I also vote absentee - it's so much more convenient, although I do miss the feeling of "civic duty" that I get when I actually go to the polls.

[Cathy]

Kerry/Edwards period!

[Corrie]

I'll be voting for "W". I don't agree with every choice he's made, particularily regarding jobs. I feel, however, he's the better choice for protecting America, and our moral values.

On a side-note, I have been wanting to say that I really do like your blog!

[Laura]

I am one of the seemingly oddball Bush supporters also. And as one of the above said, I don't know if I count since I'm just a blog reader not a blogger.

[Laura Nell]

Kerry/Edwards!

[Cathi]

Kerry/Edwards, no question. I can't imagine any reason to vote any other way.

[Janet]

Bush.

[Lorette]

Blog READERS as well as bloggers count, definitely! I'll tally all the votes later today!

[maggi]

Gimme the Johns! And I love that "W stands for wrong" ~ it's right up there with my fave, "a village in Texas is missing its idiot"! Kerry-Edwards, please ~

[Lara]

VIBEKNITS FOR KERRY!

[Stephanie]

Do Canadians get to vote in your election? If so...Kerry.

[jlf]

Bush - Republicans

[Nancy]

Kerry, please.

And, yes, I think the Canadians, and any other nationality, should be able to vote in this poll, since our desicison WILL affect them, no matter where they are.

[Annie]

Kerry/Edwards for this blogger.

[Lorette]

That's a YES on the Canadians. And anyone else, for that matter. If you're from out of the US and vote here, tell us where you're from too.
