I definitely have issues with the electoral college. However, I doubt they will be doing away with it any time soon.

I will be supervising the poll watchers and runners (people who pick up info from the polling places and from poll watchers). I know I will be tired as the devil but seeing Obama winning will be worth it.

RIP Toot.

Unlike a lot of voters, I vote with my heart, not with my head. Meaning, I don't analyze any extraneous factors other than which candidate's stance on the issues are most compatible with mine.

Finally, while you criticize voters who use their head instead of their heart, many times going by your heart will get you in trouble. It is far more wise to really use your head in making such a decision. That means you are actually thinking about the issues and what the candidates are saying.

So, I was just browsing cnn.com as per usual and came across this video of a 76 y/o woman voting for the first time. She hearkens on deepimpact's point about thinking with your heart vs your head. I found it quite interesting. I don't have an opinion on this discussion other than I think people should vote.

I'm volunteering as a poll watcher tomorrow, too.
