- - The "I Voted" Thread (https://www.horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37940)

I'll be voting at 5:30, sure to be some nice long lines. I did see a VERY interesting way of campaigning this year that I have never seen before. I was playing a videogame called NHL 08' (a hockey game) and was of course connected to the internet. Along the boards in arenas are often advertisements for local businesses, clothing, etc... Well as I was playing a couple days ago I notice there was a picture of Obama along the boards with "Vote for Obama" slogans, it was a trip. Talk about brilliant strategists, it was almost subliminal in nature and very transgressive in my opinion.

Plus, they have been advertising in online games for a while. i remember Counterstrike servers with billboards posted through the maps advertising in the same waay you see banner ads on a website. The fun was, you could shoot them.

I voted for McCain (to each there own I dont dissaprove of Obama if he wins I will not be angry I just agree with more of McCains policies.) Please no negative comments need be made at my choice lets bring this nation together.

I voted.Felt amazing..First time voter!Woohoo!

I just picked Obama cause my parents did...stupid reason i know! I had no idea who to vote for:)

This election scares the hell out of me. All that's left to do now is keep checking the CBS election results. It's only 11am, and I've got butterflies. It's going to be a long day.

I will now stop channelling Kanye West and everyone who thinks OJ got shafted. We could be doing a LOT worse either way, so I dont think its a big deal who wins. Both = "Not Bush", so its all good.

I will be voting with my brother and mother at around 5PM and 6PM.
