The bigger story is ordsprog

en The bigger story is the new voters who may come in. Last time we had 105 million people vote. Some say we will have 115, maybe 120 million people vote. Registration has shot up in a number of states - 5 percent in Ohio, 7 percent in Pennsylvania. A lot of new people will be at the polls.

en At least 90 percent of registered voters will not vote. There's probably only going to be a 10 percent turnout. We've already got 12 million registered voters who can sign our petition, and we have a number of people from Montgomery County who have pledged support.

en Sometimes if you vote no on one, you vote no on two. Nobody likes to pay more taxes. When people have the chance to kill a tax increase, they jump on it. It doesn't matter if it's $1 million or $35 million. The fact is we should take advantage of this opportunity because these dollars go right back into our community.

en I think that has to do with the intensity issue. The voting was only 21 percent of the eligible voters. The ?yes' side was more invested, so more likely to show up as voters. They wanted to make a statement. The ?no' side was less organized. Eighty percent of the people didn't vote.

en The exit polls are great. Sixty percent of the audience were males. It was 50 percent over-25 and 50 percent under-25. We're going to hang around for a while. I think we certainly have a shot at $200 million.

en Today is a sad day for Maryland. Fifteen people decided to make a decision for 5 million people by not allowing the vote on the floor and the vote in November.

en I think in some sense you could define the fight for increased turnout this way. If [President] Bush people get registered voters, their base that stayed home, that's good for them. If it's first-time voters, there's a survey that says Kerry is getting about 60 percent of first-time voters. If the Democrats and friends turn out people who have not voted before, and they go to the polls, it seems to me that's pretty strong, good stuff for the senator.

en In addition to those one million gay Republicans reported to have voted for Bush, we are talking about their friends and family members who care about this issue. And also that 1 million people is an important number when you consider that President Bush lost the popular vote in 2000.

en A greater number of people reported not saving money in 2004 than in 2001. Only 41 percent save regularly. That's a foreboding number for a nation with 76 million people reaching retirement age over the next 25 years.

en She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and understanding of her emotions. I was so thrilled when we saw the number of people that voted last time. I want people to vote for me but really I want people to vote more.

en Chipset sales declined 26 percent to $269 million, and operating margins dropped to 24 percent from 39 percent. Qualcomm shipped only 11 million chipsets in the quarter, down from 15 million in the preceding quarter and 13.5 million a year ago. This disappointing performance partially reflected continued weak demand in Korea.

en People aren't stupid. I mean, people remember in 1990, the unemployment rate was 10 percent. Now it's 4 _ percent. We've got 1/4 million jobs that we've created.

en I think people understand the difference between capital improvements and operating money. It's a concern that people might not vote for something because they just passed something else. I don't think it's a significant number of people that would not vote for the levy for that reason.

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 As it stands now, close to 8 million voters could be at the mercy of these faulty, unreliable and decertified machines. Californians deserve to go to the polls knowing that their vote will be counted, not discarded.
