Everyone else, get out there and vote for OBAMA/BIDEN!
Today I voted in my first California election, which also happened to be my second presidential election. In my first presidential election, things didn't go my way... but with any luck this time around the outcome will be more favourable.
Vicki, Monica and I hit the polls around 10:00 a.m., which means we managed to avoid the massive lines being reported at polling places across the country. Apparently there were lines around the block during the pre-work rush, and I'm sure there will be again during the lunch hour and after work lets out at 5:00 p.m.
I'll admit to having a bit of a nervous rush when the time came to actually punch my ballot. Before every vote, I triple-checked that I was punching the right circle so that I wouldn't inadvertently cast my lot with the Libertarian party. But all turned out well, as far as I can tell. My ballot's been submitted, my vote officially cast for Barack Obama, and I have a snazzy little "I voted" sticker that will supposedly get me free coffee and ice cream. Now all that's left is to watch the news and hope.
Please get out and vote today! If you have an opinion, make your voice heard. The rest of us in this country would really appreciate it. :-)
