AT LAST!!

So I finally got to express my opinion directly.

I voted this morning almost as soon as the polls opened.

I was wavering until the last moment.

Some of those near and dear to me have wavered over the line in the last days and that gave me some pause.

I finally remembered something I read about Obama.

He could be the Democrat's Reagan or their Carter.

Given his style and positions that is an apt observation.

So I wavered.

But I went into the poll and there was some new business.

I told you that we are out of the electronic voting. It is back to the pen.

You join two arrows with one line. Not a thick line. Not an X. Not a wavy line or a dot. A straight line. In the middle.

How fucking complicated can you make a manual vote, huh?

So I was a bit distracted.

I opened the ballot. It is as big as a place mat for the table. Flop.

My hand took the pen and the body-mind took over. Right to the spot. No hesitation. No doubt. No regrets.

It is done.

Don't worry folks. It doesn't matter if you know who I voted for or not.

I always end up voting for the one who loses.

I left the booth, got my "I voted" with a flag, sticker and left the building.

Done.

Until November when I can tell you now that I will vote as early and as often as I can for the Democrat no matter who s/he is.
