Well, I've done my civic duty. I arrived at my designated voting place at 9:30 and was on my way home at 9:50. I've never voted so fast in my whole life. The boys were out of school, so I took today off. (And I had scheduled the day off WAY before Barack Obama told everybody to take the day off - I've got the email to prove it.) I timed my trip to the polls to miss the folks voting before work, and to beat the folks coming to vote at lunch. I think I did pretty good!
Daniel gets an extra 100 in social studies for voting with me. (I told Ben we might have to wait in line a while, and he wanted no part of it.) While we waited, an older man was leaving and as he walked by Daniel, he leaned down and whispered "McCain". Daniel looked at him and nodded.
I talked D through the process, and even let him complete my ballot and press the "cast vote" button.
Good times at the polls.
And now, we wait.

Was the "older man" actually McCain? Poor old people, they get lost and go to the wrong polling locations, don't they.
Ever wonder about the median age of poll workers in this state? They all looked like McCain to me.
I almost didn't comment, but my verification word is dumaster. I couldn't waste dumaster.
Dumaster is how I felt at my polling booth when I was surrounded by nice McCain looking folk and the sides of my booth came crashing down. All eyes on me as I stood there at my collapsed booth-now-table voting for all to see. I think I heard people mumble dumaster as I walked out...
That's awesome!
I was a dumaster when I kept pressing the screen, thinking it was a touchscreen. "Hey, dumaster - read the instructions" the nice lady pollster lady says to me.
