Voting day!!!
First of all, my vote has and always will belong to the only REAL candidate who dropped out of the race months ago…Stephen Colbert. Nuff said.
Dr Cohen let us off work 30 minutes early today (as long as we swore to go vote for a republican…haha!). So we all left to go cast our votes for Obama or Hillary…NOT! I have been so excited about this primary seeing as how 4 years ago (techincally 3, right?) there really wasnt a republican primary since Bush was incumbent. And before that I doubt that I followed politics. After all, most people dont start caring about politics until they start paying taxes (which was the case for me!). So off I headed at 5:15 to my polling place. I got there around 10 till 6 to find quite a crowd which was exciting. I’m glad so many people are participating in this election process! Anyways, the crappy thing is that there were 10 booths with only 2 people checking us in. And the 2 people checking us all in were at least 80. Now props to them for volunteering their time, but seriously…were there no other techno. savvy people there to help w/ this process??? They could barely see the cards!
So 1 hour and 11 minutes later I had cast my vote. Now I know alot of us were raised w/ our parents saying that your vote and your finances are personal, but I think politics are interesting and I LOVE to hear peoples take on things. So personally, my vote went to Huckabee. I love the fair tax and I am voting my pocketbook this year! haha! So while some argue that my vote was "wasted" I say that we should all vote for who we really like and trust the Lord to do with it what He may. Who knows, with enough support Huckabee could end up the VP on McCain’s ticket (oh lord…mccain…ugggg….).
Well, regardless of the outcome, may I just say that its pretty cool to have a woman and a black man on the ballot. Not that I’m voting for them, but its nice to have choices! Bet our great grandparents would roll over in their graves to hear that! Wow…how the world changes.
And here’s a pic of my cute dog to top off the evening!
