I have to send a HUGE shout out to my mom and sister for voting today! My poor mom has had to listen to me rant for the past 6 months or more about politics and even accompanied us to the Obama rally (IN THE RAIN) yesterday. And she voted for the first time in 20 YEARS! Then my poor sister had to miss half of day at work because she waited for 4 HOURS to vote today. But can I just say how proud I am? Well, I am. I live in the largest precinct in my county and was astounded at the turnout this year. During the last Presidential election, I waited maybe 30 minutes to vote and this year it was 2.5 hours. It is an exciting time in American politics and I am glad that more people are getting involved. As always, Zachary accompanied me to the polls as he has since he was 8 months old. We're just hoping that we picked a winner this year since we are 0 for 2 so far. But we're hoping that the need for CHANGE is on our side. Yes we can.
And I need to make a correction to this post, it has actually been 32 YEARS since my mom last voted. Her last election was Jimmy Carter in 1976. Crazy.
