I voted today

This campaign has lasted so long it didn’t seem real when I was in line to vote today. The line at the Duncanville Library was long, it took us about 30 minutes to get through. I can only image what things will be like across the country next Tuesday. High voter turnout is a Republicans worst nightmare.
Of course I cast my presidential ballot for Barack Obama. Looking at the Names Obama and Biden on the electronic voting machine screen was sort of strange. My wife and I took our son, so that one day he can remember the day that his mom and dad voted for a black man for president.
In all, I voted for 22 Democrats, 2 Republicans, and I sat out on two races. Whether your ancestors came over on the Mayflower, or the slave ship Jesus, from Asia or Latin America, make sure you go and vote. We all owe it to those who came before us.

Good for you!
I am going to take a day off this week to vote early. Local news says GA line numbers have been in the hundreds. Ugh. I don’t even want to think about waiting until the 4th.

I voted Saturday. I even ran into relatives I haven’t seen in a few months at the polls. It was good to see everybody early voting…regardless of who they voted for (yeah right). I myself voted straight Democrat…and sat out of one race. Sadly, there was only one person running in that race so he’ll unfortunately win again. Honestly, to see some of the people who run for office and actually win, saddens me at times.
