I Voted (13 Days)

No hanging chads for me!

Today Tara and I cast our votes for Barack Obama for president of the United States of America. That's pretty cool. I truly believe he's the most intelligent, inspiring, capable candidate that's come along in my lifetime. I can't wait to see what he does as president.

This image is a collage of two new photos (my ballot from today and my "I Voted" sticker) and two photos from the two times I saw Obama in person (the one on the far left is from when he came to Denver University during the primaries; the main background image is from his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention at Mile High).

This is so rad. And voting today felt SO GOOD.

When I get to work tomorrow this is going to be the backdrop of one of my computers.

Tara, too bad you aren't still registered in Florida. Your vote might be more valuable there.

Very creative! Outstanding work. I saw Senator Obama in Dallas last February. I agree with all you say. He is inspiring.

Strange, this vote-early thing. But then it's also strange that Election Day has never been declared a national holiday, like it should be.

It is a little odd, but I actually think it's great. Trying to cram millions of people into one day is a bad idea -- so many things can come up and there's no time to resolve any issues that arise.

If I had gone to vote yesterday and found that I wasn't registered for some reason, I would have had plenty of time to get that ironed out. If that happens on election day, it's much more iffy.

Nice! We voted early also, but they were out of stickers. Fooey.

I concur about how good it felt to cast that presidential vote. Granted, I'm in IL, which is pretty blue -and- Obama's home state, but still. :)

Here's to sitting back and watching the media circus... it's going to be an ugly couple of weeks.
