Where my third party people at?

I'm really glad it's anonymous. I'd hate for anybody to know who I'm voting for!

I know what you mean.

Posting to bump and to note that this is closer than I thought. I really thought GreekChat would be an Obama blowout.

Not particularly hippie, I don't think, but because the News and Politics forum skews Democratic if you count up posters and apparent affiliation and because, I think, the rest of the sight is pretty young. We could also throw in that some of the consistently most active forums are the NPHC groups' and I suspect that most NPHC members will vote Obama.

I suspect that the general alumni members of NPC and IFC groups may be a more representative political breakdown of the general population (which is not to say that it's necessarily an even match or that Obama wouldn't be ahead), but I don't think GreekChat matches the general population of greek alums or of the population at large. For example, I may be the only AGD poster who supports McCain on the site, but I doubt I'm the only one in real life or that the ratio is what it seems to be here.

Uhhhh no one ever said GC was a scientific representation of the entire Greek Population in the U.S.

Well I dont like the current results of this opinion poll, however I'm glad to see that out of those who have taken this poll everyone plans to vote!!! That to me is the most important thing for us to do--exercise our right to vote!

I'm still figuring it out - Libertarian or Constitutional? Hmmm . . .

that is a good quote

i checked unsure, because I can't really bring myself to vote for any of the candidates. I still plan to vote because of local and state elections and i think it might be a senate race this year too (i don't know, i was gone for the summer and haven't watched too much tv since being back)
