Hamzy might really be in trouble.
Being a cynic, I ask: how long before someone ctiticizes the Bristol School system for those votes?
However, it usually is a reflection of what one hears at home, and will be interesting to see how reflective it is.
I think it's hysterical that you have R E B U B L I C A N
Great typo!!!
Let's be clear: the stuff in italics came from the school. And we'll give them a break because I'm sure someone was in a hurry to get the results out!
We are in big trouble if the dems won across the board. We will not even be able to buy food or put gas in our car if they get in! Everyone is very uneducated to think Bush is at fault for everything and not to vote in Republicans. This is truly going to be a sad day in History tomorrow. I really hope the U's elect McCain.
Steve, I was looking at a student newspaper at Tunxis Community College today. The College held a two-day Mock Election on 10/14 & 10/15.
A total of 541 people (students, faculty & staff) voted and here are the results:
Obama = 383 votes
McCain = 118 votes
Nader = 32 votes
McKinney = 7 votes
Obama received nearly 71 percent of the votes compared to McCain's 22 percent.
As a former central student, and organizer of the mock election, i just think its fair to point out that the tallies of central are grossly inaccurate. Many students vote multiple times, and ballots are counted at many times by students. do not read anything into this poll. no precatious measures are taken to secure accuracy.
If voters are smart, they will choose:
McCain/Palin
Joe Visconti
Bill Hamzy
Jill Fitzgerald
Dave Norton
Another sign of the failure of our educational system. Are the Central students learning about Obama's illegal, slum-living Auntie, his ACORN friends, his anti-white preacher, his anti-American wife, his terrorist pal, his abhorence of our Constitution, his lack of a birth certificate, and all the other Obama no-nos? I guarantee they are not. Have they learned to critically analyse what politicians, especially smooth-talking ones, are saying? Probably not.
It's sad how many people have their heads in the sand concerning this election and American education. If people were educated the way they should be, Obama would not have a chance tomorrow.
Of course this is the result. Kids are not adults. No doubt Obama makes them "feel good" ....doesn't take more than that.
No parents with kids that go to Central are in Fitzgerald's district.
BTW, the teachers tell them to vote Democrat.
It would be quite unfortunate if Hamzy and Fitzgerald lost. They are two quality candidates with superior credentials.
Vote the person not the party!
Denski is the perfect argument against democracy and for bringing back the monarchy.
But Colapietro is a great one too!
Woohoo! Hamzy!!!
