I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18. My first presidential vote was for McGovern. I’ve passed along to my kids that voting is NOT an option, it’s an obligation.

As far as this historic moment in the American body politic, yes it is. And if I wasn’t insane mad to get rid of the crime family currently in office, I’d probably stop and ponder its significance. I’ll cry when we put a democrat in the white house and more in the congress and I can begin to hope for my country’s restoration.

You’re all romantics, and I love you for it.

In Hawai’i it’s high school. Meet someone for the first time and the second or third question will be “Where you wen’ grad?” Puts those of us who got here in their later years at a disadvantage.

Voting’s fun. It couldn’t be more convenient for me, since my polling place is right outside my subway stop. And it still has those big voting machines with the levers and the big red handle.

Though I screw up the handle business every. single. time.

I didn’t get to vote this morning cause I leave for work too early, cannot wait to get home and do it this afternoon.

no matter who wins the primary, the best part of all this is going to be 1-20-09!!!!

I must be stepping up to carry the torch. My parents were involved in politics. I remember being in gym in grade school and seeing my dad come in to vote. He was always so handsome, in his wing-tips and good suit and shirt and tie (his regular work clothes - court reporter). I was always glad to see him and proud of him, and that motivates me in part to carry on. We won’t talk about John Birch and Barry Goldwater, and all that other stuff.

always feels good to vote…reality a day later is that you voted for a politician and the day before you felt like it would make a difference.

yeah, i love voting. whenever i read about vote-by-mail systems in oregon or whatever, i can see some advantages to the system. but those people are missing out on the feeling of walking into a polling place and voting in person. when i was in college i voted absentee, essentially a vote by mail. it felt like filling out any other form. you just can’t beat the in-person vote feeling.
