Yes We Can!

Mrs. G. and I were in line when the polls opened at 6 this morning. There was already a line out the door.

We woke our son up. 14-year-old boys with the day off from school don't normally relish rising at 5:30, but he went cheerfully, albeit sleepily, to see us vote in this historic election. Then he went back to bed.

We are now in our local coffee house, where I expect to see a larger-than-usual crowd, many with "I Voted" stickers, all morning.

This is a great day.

And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Voting - it's a freedom thing. Have a great day.

We could and we did.

Yes we did...in 2.5 months. What can we expect in the meantime from a President who doesn't have much to lose (I know there's plenty to lose, but I think you all know what I mean)?

Pres. Bush has already invited Obama to take part in the upcoming economic summit. I don't think the hawks in the lame-duck administration could get away with starting another war. And I believe the President is tired and just wants to go home.

my only disappointment in all of this is that i didn't get a sticker!

Gruntled,
You sound a little paranoid. Maybe Bush will go out and start a war just to spite you!
