abstinence '04 - no bush, no dick
I think about politics a lot. I haven't always. This is the third time I'll be voting in a presidential election, thanks to a conveniently-timed birth, but the first time I've really been informed. I'm ashamed to admit it, but for the first few months of Dubya's administration, I honestly thought he was his dad. I credit him, though, with getting me interested in and informed about politics. That, and little too much websurfin' on the ol' company dime. Anyhow, I've followed this presidential race to the point where it made me crazy at times, and it felt really good this morning to go and cast the vote I've been waiting so long to cast. (I wanted to vote absentee, and registered as such, but the ballot just never came) I didn't actually have to wait long at the polling place, probably because I showed up right at 7am to avoid the crowds. I was the first person at my polling location to demand a paper ballot. Now I'm just going to sit around being nervous until this is over - I have my hopes that it will be determined by tonight, but I doubt it.
