Ah, 38 degrees and freezing rain. Perfect voting weather…? Well, no matter. M and I took the kids to our friendly neighborhood polling place and cast our votes. Being 10:15am in the suburbs, there was mostly just a smattering of older folks at my location, no waiting. The twins wore their Tiny Democrat t-shirts (since the Obama shirts are both too large, and would probably be considered electioneering) and were ooh-ed and ahh-ed over.
So, there you go. We voted! Did you? Tell me all about it…
I’m voting tomorrow, are you?
Yep, it’s Super (Duper, Tsunami, Wicked Awesome) Tuesday. We’ll be voting here in Massachusetts, along with 20-odd other states.
I’ve obviously made no secret of my choice in this race, so it’s no surprise that I’m encouraged by recent polls and am hoping for great things.
But whether you and I share the same politics or not, it’s still your civic duty as a concerned citizen to get out there and cast your vote. If you don’t, I hereby revoke your right to complain if the person you like doesn’t get elected.
Get out the vote, people! Don’t forget, don’t get lazy. Don’t tell me you couldn’t go because you didn’t have a babysitter. My kids are coming with me to the polls, and I hope they’ll keep doing so until they’re old enough to cast their own ballots. Talk about it with your kids at the dinner table. Let everyone know how important it is to participate in the process.
And then turn on CNN and see if Anderson Cooper revives the magic floating pie chart, just for kicks.
