Miokie is right...the term "exemption" is used on the W2 form, not "dependent", but basically the same.

I like Obama too - for the most part. Unfortunately if one reads the online comments in many of the Texas papers, 90% of the illiterates back McCain.

By the way I voted for Ron Paul.

Personally; I think this false thinking is why Ron Paul is a marginal candidate. Most think that the 10% of nut cases back Paul. Looking at the number that call in threats to reporters as has been seen that looks to be the case.

LOL TGH? My dear friend? Because I often punctuate like a shotgun, I almost never call attention to someone elses. However, hon, in this case, I must make an exception. That is, to call attention to the last part of your second sentence. You might should have put a comma between "call" and "girl", reckon? *hugs*

Default Early Voting -- Do It

I took advantage of early voting. You may want to, especially because turnout on Tuesday may the biggest ever. Lots more people are using this opportunity just so things stay smooth and there's no gridlock in the counting process. If I were you, I'd do it today, folks.

This is, by the way, the last day.

Well I guess I am a nut case in PA who voted for Paul, this would of been a better election with Ron Paul, rather Ron Paul on the ticket than McCains sidekick Palin, why he chose her is beyond me, I think you or myself could do a better job. How can you vote for McCain if God forbid something would happen and she became president? We'd be in deeper trouble than we are now
