A Note about Vote
It felt good to vote today. We’ve been tuned into CNN, MSNBC and FoxNews for the past two days soaking in the election polls and listening to the pundits trying to forecast our political future.
We left the house right after eight this morning trying to beat the crowds we had been seeing on the TV. Armed with morning coffee and a newspaper, we arrived at the middle school prepared to stand in line and wait our turn to vote. I parked right in front of the Obama signs across the street, noting the light traffic in front. Much to our surprise, we walked right up to the table without standing in line, and once they found our names and signed the list, we cast our vote.
The electronic voting machines were very easy to use. We were out of there in just a matter of minutes. What a great feeling to take part in such a historic election. And even though John McCain didn’t win, I have to admire the marketing savvy of our new president elect.
I just heard McCain’s speech and I have to agree. We have to overlook any racial bias and party alligeance and unite together as Americans to overcome these problems our country faces at home. The economy, the job market, the Iraq war; let’s join together with new hope for the future.
