Nov. 4th EC Election - Empty Closets - A safe online community for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered people coming out

Wander · 3rd Nov 2008, 08:45 PM

To mimic the official election being held today in the United States, I'm creating the official EC Election thread. This will include all candidates running for President, including independent parties. You are not required to reveal who you voted for, whether or not you voted in real life, or who you voted for in the real election. If you do choose to post your vote, keep it at short as possible - the name of the candidate and a short comment will suffice. Do everything you can to keep it from escalating into an argument.

I plan to actually vote. 6 AM thank you very much.

Where's the write in option, Stephen T. Colbert for President.

**Gerry** · 3rd Nov 2008, 10:27 PM

Just cast my vote on here. I also went to early voting for the real thing.

shakerdancee · 3rd Nov 2008, 10:41 PM

Ron Paul '08

3rd Nov 2008, 10:42 PM

Where's David Jon Sponheim?
Ralph Nader is the third party representative but David is. He should be there>.>

**Gerry** · 3rd Nov 2008, 10:48 PM

What's with people mentioning names that the majority of Americans haven't heard of? Come on guys -- I know third party options are a good choice sometimes and stand for great things. But realistictly they're not going to be elected. And everyone has the right to vote for whomever they so choose to but I think it's just strange when people mention names that aren't even on the ballot in most states. The names listed above were all the names listed on the ballot in the state of Nevada. Are there other names in different states?

Many LGBT people don't like the Republican Party and what it stands for. And by all the predictions, it looks like Obama will be our next president. We'll see. Anything can happen.

george678 · 3rd Nov 2008, 11:08 PM

Barack Obama.

Adam · 3rd Nov 2008, 11:34 PM

I would be very mad/sad if McCain won.

3rd Nov 2008, 11:38 PM

I said McCain. Not because I'm very drunk at the moment but because I actually did vote for him

Yeah I did an absentee ballot cause I go to school in a different state. So I voted like 2 weeks ago for McCain/Palin

SamAlex728 · 4th Nov 2008, 12:19 AM

Barack Obama, and I won't add anything else because ANYTHING can be made into an argument

Miaplacidus · 4th Nov 2008, 12:28 AM

I guess my signature says everything. LOL.

**EM68** · 4th Nov 2008, 02:55 AM

I am going to be voting in an hour or so. I am going to vote for McCain.

4th Nov 2008, 02:55 AM

I clicked Obama.

Janvier · 4th Nov 2008, 03:49 AM

Obama, cos he's awesome:

Peter · 4th Nov 2008, 04:07 AM

Generally, in Europe, Obama seems to be favoured. Interestingly, the French really support him but have no legislator from the very numerous citizens of Moroccan or Algerian descent; the same is true for the Germans and the very large Turkish community. Strange that they back Obama in the US yet refuse to vote for anyone who is not pure white at home. Similar support is found in Austria, where they are still mourning the passing of their favourite racist politician.
