¡Si Se Puede!

Woke up at 6am with an incoming migraine. Took some Excedrin, reset my alarm for 7:30, and went back to sleep.

Woke up again not great but at least well enough that I could have breakfast and head on over to the polls. The line was definitely longer than the one for 2004. Luckily they were pretty good about trying to streamline the process so while there was a wait it wasn't as bad of a wait as it could have been. (I was there maybe an hour all told, including trying to find a parking spot)

I thanked all the people working the polls (or at least the ones I encountered) and I thanked the folks who were out front working for the democratic ticket and asking people to vote no on question 1 (which is an anti-gay measure in my state).

I did, in fact, get a little choked up when I filled in my vote for Obama.

Now I am at work, still headachy, and waiting to see how it all turns out.

*HUGS YOU ALL*

Ignore the media and VOTE

liz_marcs brings us this excellent post on why you should vote no matter what the media says.

Seriously, ignore the exit polls, ignore dumbass newspeople who are just trying to fill 24 hours of airtime. DO NOT think that if the election seems to be going one way or another that you may as well stay home. VOTE.

Tearjerkers in the good way

Awesome Obama photo essay
