Beth came over to the dark side and voted for Obama today. She also
voted for Democrat Mark Warner for the Senate, which was a little
surprising. But that's as far as she went:
GLENN: Did you vote a straight Democratic
ticket this morning?
BETH: No, I actually voted a mixed ticket.
GLENN: Obama and Warner? And...?
BETH: And I voted for the one
Republican on the ballot. Finnegan...Finneman...whatever.
GLENN: You
mean Keith Fimian?
BETH: Yeah, that's him.
GLENN: Do you know what
office he's running for?
BETH:
GLENN: I see. You kind of voted for
him out of guilt, huh?
BETH: Yep.

This morning's news was filled with dire
warnings about 3-hour waits at the polls and such. Well, when I walked
up to my polling place, there was a line of about 30 people--but all of
them were in the "Last Name L-Z" line. And the number of people in my
"Last Name A-K" line?
One. Just me. I was in and out in four minutes.

And then there's this:
This is a house about two blocks down from me. I've been meaning to take
this picture for about a month now. Unfortunately, this picture doesn't
do it justice. There are three or four more
Sarah Palin signs plastered on the siding on the right side of the house. Plus, there's a huge "SARAH!"
sign attached to the top of a 25-foot poll in the middle of the front
yard.
I'm glad this election is over. |
