Anybody have Americans friends living abroad?
What is their thinking on this election? I've heard that there are seven million Americans overseas. How are you able to obtain and submit a ballot living abroad? I would love to see a big overseas ballot return.

I can't imagine that Americans overseas aren't embarrassed by this cowboy boot-wearing nimrod and wouldn't want to see honor restored to their country.

3. How do you like living in Canada?
I've never been there before, but I've heard great things. It's getting so weird in this country, I feel like making a run for the border.

5. I love it!
I'm in Alberta, which is probably the most conservative province in Canada, but that means it tilts slightly right of center if it was in the US. It really is a kinder, gentler country, and there's much more of a relaxed "live and let live" attitude. I came here to be w/ my wife and haven't regretted it, even though I sometimes miss the big, beautiful mess the USA is in my mind. I'll always be an American citizen, but I love Canada, too..

2. Buddy overseas in the military
He really wants Kerry to win. He says most of the boys are split 50/50. He is in Brussels and claims that Bush is made fun of and brought up right away as soon as they figure out he is an American.
