- *laughing* You think those who say that had never heard of a close election before? -- nm - mara Nov 5, 12:05 7
  - besides, IMO it's not even about the close elections. It's a duty. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 12:08

    - What's funny is that that number of 3700 is almost certainly rounded off. It could be 3712, or 3689. There's a bunch of votes right there that don't - mara Nov 5, 12:11 4
      - That's a fallacy of retrospect that they don't make a difference though. - musubi Nov 5, 12:15 3
        
        There is nothing that would have caused 3700 Dems not to vote that would not also have caused a comparable number of Republicans not to vote. - mara Nov 5, 12:17 2
        
        No there isn't, but that's all it'd take. That's why every 1 vote does count. (nm) - musubi Nov 5, 12:19
        
        on the other hand, members of the minority party in a heavy state for the majority party are more apt to feel that their vote doesn't count -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 12:18
wow. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 12:03

Who do you think you are? Montana? -- nm - Dano Nov 5, 12:03 1
- It did help that the Rep incumbent was so far right that he made Dick Cheney look like Mary Poppins -- nm - crash davis Nov 5, 12:05
