Vote Today it is NOT a Primary for Most Races. By Geniusofdespair

Get the hell out of your house and vote. If you are in a district with a County Commission race or a School Board race it is even more important to vote. It is only a primary for 3 way races and there are hardly any of those. Get one friend to vote too. Write back and tell us what you think of the paper ballot and tell us about turnout in your area. Here are the Miami Herald Endorsements and ours:

All I want for Christmas is a new County Commission! Can someone please get to the polls?!?!?!

You and me both. If Whilly or Val or any of the others win -- I will be celebrating tonight.

Miami Lakes is packed with Natacha's people on the precincts. I did not see Natacha around there. I was able to see Terry at the Miami Lakes Public Library precinct.

Please remember the kids and Vote Yes for the Childrens Trust! More than a ballpark, tunnel, or anything else, without healthy and happy children coming up thru the ranks we're all screwed.

Is there any wonder why there is such a low voter turn out!

The reason for a low turn out of voters is because most folks know little or care less about the issues that are on this ballot during this election.

Why are we not being offered the opportunity and right to vote on the real issues that concern us all?

UDB Line

Property taxes, mass transposition, schools

Mega Scam

Marlins Stadium
Miami River

Downtown Miami
Homeles

Housing Glut

Foreclosures

Crime

County commissioner¢s salary

Pensions for police, fireman and retired elected leaders that are eating away at our budget

Illegal spot zoning of neighborhoods

Big box stores entering residential communities or being inappropriately permitted in C-1 zoned properties

Perhaps we are not being offered the opportunity and right to vote on the real issues that concern us all, because our elected leaders are afraid they already know what the citizens want and it is not much to their liking and best interest.

Early results are showing we will be stuck with our current commissioners.

I cannot believe how slow the results are coming in. It is after 10 pm and I still don't know anything.
