I hear all these lefty opinions here on mumsnet, and I start get scared. But really how many people on here actually have a say????

I do

Me!

As my dad always said, 'You can't complain if you didn't vote.'

whatever happened to Ameriscot?

And, muminfife, will you solemnly swear to vote against Hilary Clinton?

no idea. I've wondered that too.

Guys I wish I could. But will next Presidential one as I intend to be an American Citizen by then. Did you all watch the State of the Union or read about it?

There is NO way I am voting for Hilary Clinton.

Sorry, but I just don't like her.

Period.

I'll get my vote in. I'm so excited about this election. Its going to be soooo interesting. I'm with you (as usual) on the Hillary front.

I am.

Have you read my CAT, Paula?

I agree they are certainly looking for a first. Poor Edwards he is a white southern boy, he doesn't stand a chance with them.

DD1 does (and she's not afraid to use it)

I have voted since I've been over here (12 yrs this yr )

and meant to say, we can all get a thread going to celebrate/moan about the outcome

Its not the same though as being at the local headquarters waiting for the results to come in.I love the tense atmosphere.

I stay up all night watching the results come in.

Woohoo!

This is an exciting time.

Am looking forward to it.

Especially when they say, 'Absentee ballots have been counted and so far . . . '

I think the thing that has been disappointing about the last two elections is that there has been no results on the night.

Yes!

I'll never forget that kerfuffle back in 1999. OMG!

My mother and I were in Bath. We raced to the newsagent.

Who's President?

The shopkeeper said, Erm, no one.

Hanging chad, anyone?

I kept calling my mom every half hour for days. I had stayed up all night and at 8am I just couldn't any more.

We kept hanging round newsagents.

People were laughing their arses off.

I went to the American Embassy in London. All night bash with live results. Trouble is it didn't get going until about 3 am. But, I was pregnant and had to be at work in the morning, so I missed most of the fun. I'm taking holiday next time.

Great idea, uwila!

Think I might do that as well.
