Election Day 2008

Today is the day we get to see who wins the presidential race. Will It be Obama or McCain?Alicen and I decided the best time to vote was early and when the kids where asleep. So we went to early voting yesterday. It was nice too, the news had been saying it was a long wait and a long line. Well we must have hit it perfect- we waited maybe 30 minutes. Just long enough to see the weirdo's in line who help pick our government leaders (scary), but short enough I was back to work in time. But we got our voting done and out of the way for the next little while.
I have been saying I would vote for Nader and that its his year, but once I got to the poll I decided to make my vote count so I voted for another. Wont say either way but I did make it count! At least I believe it does. Not that my Utah vote matters in a National view anyway. I just thought it was fun to throw a name like Nader out when conversations start up. It will be interesting to see who comes out of this one. For me, its which of the two evils will prevail. Time will only tell.
What was funny about voting early, was as I did my Math homework last night around 8 pm or so. I got two calls within minutes of each other encouraging me to get out and vote on Election day. I told both parties I had voted already. One of the parties asked if I would say who I voted for. I wanted to get back to my homework before it got late and to not be on the phone arguing about who is better. So I just said their candidate instead of who I actually voted for. I did it for just kicks and giggles. Funny how they ask- when really its none of their business. I just had to laugh about both parties calling around the same time. If I had time I would have said the Ladder party and made it an Ol' Bible Bashing Extravaganza!! Just for the thrill of bashing once again political style. Oh I miss the days on the Mish.
