en I don't vote. Two reasons. First of all it's meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. The shit they shovel around every 4 years *pfff* doesn't mean a fucking thing. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around – they say, 'If you don't vote, you have no right to complain', but where's the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.

en It's not over until it's over. I know it, and Chris knows it. If people get complacent and don't vote, he won't win. I've seen it happen before. We need people to keep calling. Most people don't know you can call 10 times to vote, and you can vote five times from each e-mail address.

en One thing that clearly gets people back into public life is personal contact. Old-fashioned knocking on doors is still one of the best ways to get people to vote. You need people who can explain...why these issues matter.

Given the history of the last 10 years, when people at the top have done very well, people in the middle and at the bottom are struggling.
