    I stand by my choice, but I have 3 friends, that were pro McCain, that wish they had voted in North Carolina. They figured that they had it in a bag.

    It really doesn't matter because the electoral vote in georgia went to McCain.

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but unless we lived in a state obama won it wouldn't matter.

    this is true but it is very hypothetical question... if you voted independent or didn't vote would you of rather voted mccain if it would of made a difference? i think there are people out there that this could apply to. just wondering their response.

    Its true that McCain won GA by a wide margin but some of the margins at the individual counties were really close.

    I voted for Obama because I thought with the African American and the White working class vote behind him he had a decent shot at taking GA. Looking back on it I might as well have written in Pee Wee Herman, but I'm still proud of myself for voting.

    I hate the current makeup of the electoral college. I would much rather see 435 electoral votes, 1 for each congressional district. I think PA is a perfect example of why. 80 of 93 counties had McCain by a significant margin, but because of the population centers in Philly and Pitt, most of the state had no voice. The purpose of the elctoral college was to give all states a voice, and not just the lage states. I think this needs to be refined again and give all areas a voice and not just the large cities.

    Dont quote me on this, but I believe PA had something like 40% early voters that had already voted before that little sound bite came out.

    I dont believe NJ had a single county that voted for McCain.


    I didnt bother to research it myself, but I heard that there was some little dipshit town or county that didnt have a single Obama vote. McCain had 100%.
