AT LEAST down here, it feels like Christmas day. Not so much for actual presents . . . unless Obama sends me that 5000$ tax credit on healthcare. Except I don't actually pay for (or receive) healthcare.
Nina and I voted the day before Hallowe'd Eve, where Austin had made room for one of two mega-voting centres. But across the way from our front door, at the church, suckers are lining up.
Early voting in Texas is incredibly popular and easy, and they have excellent digital voting machines. Obviously a REpublican ploy to make sure Bush's votes got in asap.
Ye old Bro, Josh, called this morning after waiting 40 minutes in line (I think that's his polling place there), but it curled around the block, and he had to head to work. Democracy!!! Whereforeartthough? So, hopefully he can make it on his lunch break, or after work, if he's not too late!
What news from New Haven??? Be it voting excellence, with short lines, possibly featuring an array of delicious snacks, or perhaps the dreadful long lines? Let us know how it goes!!!
Even if Jill's deep-seeded Republican roots are forced through her hand by no will of her own, save her foot's contact on American soil. Let's hope there are more ivy democrats than snooty Connecticut elite!
