Meh, semi-satisfied. I'm glad that the power shift will help put Bush in check, but unhappy about a lot of the ridiculous laws the Democrats are going to push through. \n\nThe Democrats are no better then the Republicans, IMO. They're all (both groups) worthless, lying, cheating, azzkissing, whore politicians. But, once again, Bush will have to be more restrained now, and when it comes to Bush, that's ALWAYS a good thing.

The elections in Mexico are gonna be in the middle of the world cup. \n\nI believe that all of the attention will be in the World cup about three weeks before the elections, so anybody will be looking at the news, and hearing about the candidates. \n\nSo, it will affect, of course, because all of them need to convince the voters before the world cup start. And they need to convince them strongly, because there is so much scepticism that a great part of our population will not even botter to vote.\n\nI truly believe this time the winner will be the abstentionism, wich of course is so bad to our democracy.

I feel very angry about what Bush has done to our reputation around the world.  It is something that really concerns me.  But, and this is a big but, I believe you are wrong about the American people and our government.  The American people ARE the government, in a very real sense.  We elect and we reject.  We are free to speak out and criticize our government and our President if we feel they are screwing up, and thankfully can effect change fairly easily compared to most governments.  You can see from our polls (yes, polls are notorious but when they all agree it's good to pay attention to them) that the majority of the American people do not approve of the job that Bush is doing.  We can support our troops and still be unhappy about the reasons they are there.  \n\nWe will change the tide by voting, it is our most precious freedom, IMO.  Apathy keeps many Americans at home during the mid-term elections, but I feel this time around we will see a big surge at the polls in the Democratic favor.  I have to say, as unhappy as I am with the Bush Administration, I bristled when I read your opening statement.  It just isn't true, we are the sum of all of our parts in this democratic republic.  We will continue to respond harshly to terrorists and their threats, whether our government is headed by a Republican or a Democrat.  Guantanomo Bay?  It's unfortunate and there's house cleaning to be done, but we have a right to detain those who are a threat to our national security.  We learned on 9/11 what it means to remain complacent and have a false sense of security.  We won't make that mistake again.

I think, in any race where the vote is close, the apparent loser, regardless of party, will cry foul.\n\nThat's not necessarily a bad thing.  It's evident that we have some serious problems running clean elections in this country.  Every time an election result is challenged, it reveals flaws in the different voting systems that can then (hopefully) be remedied.  More importantly, it reveals those flaws to the public, who can then see for themselves just how hard their elected officials are actually trying to run clean elections.  Or aren't, as the case may be.\n\nI heard a poitical analyst on a radio staion speaking recently (sorry, I didn't catch who it was) and he made an excellent point about how the Republican Party wins.  He said, they don't try for a landslide victory.  They try for 1 or 2% of the vote.  \n\nI'm not claiming, with that quote, that Republicans are cheating at the polls.  My point is, with the current flawed elections processes, while 1 or 2% should be enough to win an election, it is well within the margin of error, no matter how many times the votes are counted.  No matter who is declared the winner, I'd like to be certain they actually won.\n\nGetting our elections processes cleaned up across the country, and having an accurate way to verify disputed votes, is the only way to be sure we will get accurate counts.  That will only happen in response to public pressure.  If voters feel there's something hinky about the election results in their district/state, I hope they scream loud and long, and get to the bottom of it, no matter how long it takes, or how much it costs.

I'm an Independent and I voted Democratic.  I don't feel the least bit sorry for the Republicans, they brought this mess on themselves.  We had to elect a Democratic House and Senate to stop King George from thinking he's...well, King.  I'm so relieved right now that we finally have checks and balances in place, but feel sorry for the Repubs?  Never.

I hope we are not from the same country but i guess we have the same problem. When the people in your community will come to realize that their votes during election is not for sale maybe something can be done. You can make a difference by starting to fight for a cause not for your own vested interest but for the people.

If she is elected, you will get what you deserve.  \n\nUnfortunately, I will also be witness to this country's decline.  (both morally and economically)

NONE!! I wont vote for a woman, its a mans job and should remain so. Woman tend to be emotional unstable and vindictive and i don't want that little red button to be pushed because some country made her mad on that special day.

Before Bush a person could feel safe telling each other how they felt about a sitting President...are those days gone ? I will vote out of fear in november ...just like the Republicans want me to...Fear of their Party running my Country straight down the tubes!!!

If you don't vote, don't complain about what is going on. I voted, now I can complain to my heart's content...certainly worth the trip to the polls. Of course, once the votes are all counted, they will be sent to Florida to be recounted, and we will all win with another wonderful, honest, peace-loving government, won't we?

I personally do not see how.  How one can feel that we will be fine as a nation.  We are so divided.  We have a president distroying our country, not just economically, but internationally our rep has gone down the tubes.  When our next election comes I hope we elect someone who can fix the f-ups he has made.

I am saddened, but not worried. \n\nThe BNP are racists and sadly people are voting for them in increasing numbers. However, I think this has more to do with the frustration voters feel towards the immigration policies of the mainstream political parties rather than any strengthening affinity with the policies of the BNP.

I feel for you.\nLet's hope that this will be the case for you.  Unfortunately the quagmire that The Bush has got everyone in will not soon go away.
