I voted today and it was awesome!

So I went to the Region 2 Elections Office in midtown right after work today and voted!

There were quite a number of people there and the sweetest old ladies you ever saw were running the place.

I simply showed them my voter registration card and my ID, got my ballot, and cast my vote for a nice young man named Barack Obama.

Then I put my ballot in the "sleeve of privacy" walked it over to a silver box and slipped it through the slot on the top. And just like that I became part of history.

And I spent the rest of the day with the biggest damn smile on my face that you could imagine.

My advice to everybody who reads this is get out there and vote now. Do not wait until November because that is when the Republicans are going to really ramp up their efforts to suppress our votes. Maybe if enough of us vote early and it becomes clear that Obama will win in a landslide the GOP will lose confidence and just accept their fate.

Yeah I don't believe that either. But I still want you to vote early. And do you know who doesn't want you to vote early? John McCain, that's who.

Now who do you want to listen to? Me or John McCain and that empty headed little moron from Wasilla?

P.S. I also talked to my daughter about her voter registration problems in Georgia and she is going to contact the Obama offices and ask them for some help in straightening it out.

Hopefully I will have an update for you soon telling you that she voted early as well.
