Don't you wish the rest of us in the world could vote in that election?

As an American, I wish the rest of the world could've had a say in who the candidates are. And monitor the polling process. Don't be fooled... and don't get me started.

Some of the interest, or the lack thereof, in the primaries - as in how many people show up to vote has to do with party affiliation. I live in a state with closed primaries, and since I'm registered "independant", I can't vote.

But I'll be there in November. I've voted ever since I was 18. My rule is, if you don't vote, you can't complain. Voting is the chance to make your voice known. Now I admit, I have voted for the "lesser of evils" quite often. I don't really remember being enthused about any presidential candidate.

Hey CC - PM me with your questions, and I'll try to answer them

My state has a really late primary, so chances are the national races will all be decided before we get a say so - but maybe not this year.

I voted in my primary this week. I was somewhat undecided until a few days before the primary. The person I voted for won the primary by alot. It's nice to have this air of optimism around. I hope it lasts.

CC,
in the state of Washington, it was awesome. Voting caucuses (where people come together by precincts (neighborhoods) and talk about candidates and vote face to face) were PACKED, there were LINES into some of them because the facilities rented were too small. Example, my precinct 4 years ago consisted of me and some lady.
This year we had 43 people show up, including 8 of my neighbors (that i know by name) and their 3 kids. It was awesome. People are turning out in droves mostly for Obama (in Seattle)
There is hope in the eyes of the youth that I have not seen since I was in my teens.

California also had a very large turnout. It's great to see people fired up about this election. 4 years ago it seemed there was no interest at all.

You can PM me with your questions and I'll try to answer. I'm not the most politically involved person, but I have opinions , and I've voted religiously in every election since I was 18.

Same here in Illinois

Again, same here. CC feel free to PM with questions.
