Over the weekend a video appeared on CNNBC depicting the day after the election with Obama having lost by a single vote. This site allows people to customize the video with their friends' names and e-mail them the link. The name will appear in the video as the lone voter who forgot to go out and vote for Obama. The concept of losing by a single vote has been a real topic of interest. Over the summer a movie called "Swing Vote" played in theaters telling the story of an election year that comes down to one vote. One man's vote will determine the next U.S. President: "Suddenly, Bud Johnson, the nobody, becomes the voice for everybody when the world realizes that his vote will be the one that elects the next president." Bud Johnson sounds like Joe the Plumber.
Does the country really have to "fear" Obama not getting elected tomorrow? If our system works, and votes matter, and the majority is for Obama, wouldn't logic conclude Obama will be elected? This video was meant to encourage people to actually get out and vote; supporting a candidate means nothing if you don't vote for them. It will be interesting to see actual voter turnout at elections tomorrow.
