Just voted early.
Feeling pretty happy that although I was directed to several false locations, had to wait behind 35 non-english speaking individuals, had a sleeping baby laying on top of me and was holding A's french fries and my 13 lb purse in my voting pen hand - I did it. And we live in a country where I can - my looks, my gender, my mental status :) cannot keep me from selecting whomever I so choose.
I am excited about this election and encourage procrastinators like me to get in the absentee vote window - let's go people!

Obama-drama
Jen, thank you for the reminder. Did I not lovingly suggest ever so long ago that Barack was one to watch? I swear this is the only election in all my voting years that feels like I don't have to choose between two big fat liars.
By the way, if I hear "Maverick" one more time, I'll never be able to watch that cheeseball movie again. Talk about verbal burnout. And for all you pro-lifers - I am still as hard-core as ever in believing in both the life of the mom and the babies - but if you are gullible enough to vote on one topic only for the leader of our nation...all I have to say is please use both lobes of your God-given brain. There are many ways to fight abortion and blindly choosing a candidate because of one topic is like blindly choosing a candidate because they are supposedly christian. C'mon people - whether at the local, national or international level we must look at the FULL picture.
Frankly, I don't dislike a person for voting their party. What I hate is uneducated voting, or even worse - getting the "list" from a pastor telling you that real christians only vote republican. Just peels my skin, that one.
