VOTE

My voting experience was quick and easy. I think I spent more time confirming my ballot was marked correctly than I spent waiting in line.  I guess going at 8 in the morning will do that for you.  Plus, there really has never been much of a line where I vote in Upper Darby... don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.  But this morning there was 4 people in line... shocker!

I wasn't expecting it, but the historical significance of the moment totally overwhelmed me, and I will admit that I got something in both of my eyes when I voted for Barack Obama. 

I'll admit it, I was a little verklempt.  To top it off, as I came out of the polling place... Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles came on my iPod... NO LIE!!  It felt like I couldn't have scripted it any better.

I've voted in every election since 1988, and this is the first time in 8 years I've ever felt genuinely hopeful when I cast my ballot, instead of resigned.  I was elated!
