wavy ran on the nobody ticket beginning in 1980. always loved that.
"i want nobody on my side!!"

as for the big question you pose, my broken-hearted, eyes wide-open answer
is no, it will not. it's all bought and paid for. never thought i'd feel that way, and terribly sad that i do.

I'm not sure voting makes a difference but I do it anyway. I was getting on my son to get registered and he gave me all the reasons why he doesn't and all I could say was Hm. I felt much the same way. The way it works is just rotten.

Hey, I hope you survived the storms okay? I heard it was very bad out that way. We just got a little wind and hard rain. Peace today. ~ RS ~

Bonjour Coffee,

Strange question. In many other countries people are ready to die for their right to vote.

I think it matters more in local and state elections.

The Presidential election is a rigged game, and the choices are shit anyway.

annie: Yes, sad and true! ; (

ruby: Thanks, a tornado occurred N of us. Despite no one willing to do the job for "we the people" all we can do is at least vote for who we think is the lesser of 2 evils, but that's still not right! ; (

mary: see above

georg: Not since the 60s have people voted in large numbers. A sad statement on america and who we have to accept in the limited 2 party system we have. Really not much freedom to choose like that, is there????

fairlane: Checkmate! ; (
