Massachusetts, Edwards Votes go to the Convention

Today I spoke to the Election Commission about votes cast for John Edwards tomorrow.

In Massachusetts:

(1) All votes will count for the candidate they are cast for. They will be counted, as well as reported to the media, who will report them as legitimate votes. (Then it may take several days for the town clerks to certify them since they have to wait for absentee votes, etc., to come in).

What happens to those votes is up to the state Democratic Committee. So I called them.

Per the Mass Democratic Committee:

(2) Any candidate who achieves the 15% threshold (by precinct) will keep the delegates he wins and those delegates will  go to the national convention as if the candidate was still running. In Denver, the candidate will meet with his delegates and instruct them what to do with their vote - at the convention!

This is true all over the country. If you're for John Edwards, vote your conscience. YOUR VOTE WILL COUNT!

And Generation Why cried "me, me, me" all the way home

Do people actually think those young voters who turned out in droves last night are going to turn out in middle America to vote for Barak Obama? Don't people understand how this country works by now?

Do they really think the high democrat-in-name-only turnout last night was representative of Iowa or America? Dream on.

Those were the same people that got behind Ralph Nader and put George Bush in the White House in 2000 -- and they're now going to send this man up against war hero, John McCain...
