I Voted…

Posted by James Young on November 4, 2008

So I got up early and voted this morning. The wait was still 1hr. and 15min. at 6:30, but I was patient and did my civic duty. I don’t normally advise this, but I voted straight Democratic this year. This was my own little protest against Sarah Palin (I know, I know…it’s completely irrational!) I actually supported McCain right up until he picked her as his running mate. 

A co-worker today told me that he voted straight Republican as a protest against Obama. We joked that we should have called each other ahead of time and not voted since our votes cancelled each other out. 

Even though I’m just a small single vote cast in a sea of millions, it still feels good to go through the effort and participate. 

Go Obama!!
