<p>If any of you are living in any of the Super Tuesday states, please remember to vote tomarrow. YES WE CAN !!! Go Obama !!! Thank you in advance !</p>
<p>I don’t live in a Super Tuesday state, so I’ll be campaigning in Delaware tomorrow for Obama. Please, everyone, no matter who you are voting for - vote!</p>
<p>Can someone please explain to me the meaning of the “Yes We Can” slogan? We can what?
I live in Massachusetts, and the first thing it reminds me of, is the slogan our current governor had when he was campaigning last year: “Together We Can!” A Republican friend of mine used to joke about it, now I do too…</p>
<p>I wish I could. Sadly enough, only a small percentage of the class of 2008 can vote in the primaries due to age restraints. THOUGH, we will be able to vote in the general election.</p>
<p>I’m taking my camera tomorrow to photograph my HS senior son, who turned 18 ten days ago (yep, he registered to vote), as he heads in for his first vote. I’m thrilled he’s going to have such an exciting start to his voting career. I’m voting for Hillary, but don’t know about him. We are a mixed party household.</p>
<p>Yes we can… change the status quo.</p>
<p>It’s a lot more layered, but that’s the bottom line.</p>
<p>The phrase comes from a speech Obama made the night of the NH primaries. “Yes we can!” was the refrain in the speech. Some people liked it enough to make a song of it. Here it is. The only words are from the speech itself, and you can actually read the text on this Youtube site as you listen to the song:</p>

<p>Momof2inca, I know where it started, but I am amazed how closely it resembles Deval Patrick’s empty rhetorics in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>I’m super bummed that my birthday is a mere week and a half after Super Tuesday. So close, and yet so far.</p>
<p>Zamzam, my daughter is in the same boat. She misses the primary by 27 days. 
But you can vote in the general election, so make sure you register. And if you are going away for college, you can either vote absentee (have your parents forward your absentee ballot to you when it comes to their house) or you can register when you get to college. Don’t forget, because the election will come up on you fast and the deadline for registration might be a month or longer before the election (so, early October maybe). We need our young people to vote!</p>
<p>I was told that if you will be old enough to vote in the general election, you can vote in the primary if you register in a party. You may want to substantiate that.</p>
<p>I’m only 17, but I can vote in the primary because I’ll be old enough to vote in the general election. Some states let you vote in the primary if you’ll be 18 by the general election. See if your state lets you! I’m really pumped to vote tomorrow!</p>
<p>Consider that substantiation!</p>
<p>Well, not in my state.</p>
<p>twinmom, My D registered to vote but she got a letter saying she wasn’t old enough for this election. So, in California, you have to actually be 18 on the day. Not sure about other states though. I would think that since it was a Constitutional amendment that it would be federal law and consistent…</p>
<p>in Connecticut you can vote in the primary when you’re 17 if you’ll be 18 by election day.</p>
<p>Wow, that’s really cool for those young people. My daughter will be jealous, lehcar.</p>
<p>“Yes We Can” is a loose translation of “Si, se Puede” which was the rallying call of Cesar Chavez. The literal translation is “Yes, it can be done.” [But that isn’t quite as inspiring.]</p>
<p>Here’s an interesting article about how Obama used that phrase during a recent event in California:</p>
<p><a href=“Obama has uphill climb to win Latino votes in California – The Mercury News”>Obama has uphill climb to win Latino votes in California – The Mercury News;
<p>In Virginia, apparently, a 17 yr old can vote in the Primary if he/she will be 18 by election day. My son turns 18 in August, and is very excited about voting in our Primary later this month.</p>
<p>Vote early and often, as they say in Chicago!</p>
<p>driving home tomorrow morning so i can vote in super tuesday.</p>
<p>+1 for john mccain</p>
