#2 Average turnout for American Presidential elections hovers around 50-52% of registered voters last I checked. Midterm election turnout hovers below the pitiful 40%.

America needs a wake up call.

Please register to vote and encourage friends and relatives to register to vote and actually go to the polls if you haven't already!

Preaching done for the day.

#3 EP, trailing daughter #1 is looking forward to voting Republican in the next Presidential election; trailing daughter #2 thinks of Democrats like she thinks of Canadians -- they can say anything they please because nothing they say matters anyway. And statistically, among the 18-24 year old voters, only the most thoughtful (and the idealistic ones these days think of themselves as Conservative) actually bother to vote. I find this quite comforting.
