mythicalgirlWent and voted this morning. I meant to get there about an hour earlier than I did but the pillow's gravitational pull was too strong. I ended up getting out of bed at my normal time so I made it to the polls at 8 am. There was a line but the poll workers were saying it was the shortest it had been all morning. A twenty minute wait to vote. Considering I'm hearing stories of one and two hour waits I think I did good.
Driving in to work I saw lots and lots of people holding signs on street corners, urging people to vote. And all of them were for Obama. I didn't see a single sign for McCain. Indiana has historically been a red state, going republican in all the presidential elections for the last 40-something years. And here we are with Obama signs all over the place and the man himself scheduled to be here in Indy sometime today. How cool is that?
I'm planning on watching the election results tonight when I get home. Normally I don't care that much and all the political coverage drives me nuts. But this year I actually want to see what happens. I'm not a huge fan of any of the candidates but I do have my preference, obviously.
I had a dream last night that McCain won and then promptly died, leaving Palin as president. She turned the US into a fundamentalist Christian Theocracy and anyone who didn't convert and believe the way she did was either exiled or sold into slavery. Not a fun dream. Go Obama!
