Election Day

Go vote, if you haven't already. You know how to vote, or at least you should have made your mind up by now. There is a clear choice, this time, just like there was last time. Let's make the right decision this go-'round.

Oh, and about all those constitutional amendments: isn't it time for the gay rights organizations to start petition drives to repeal all those nasty ones that were passed in 2004?

Update:

On the way to work this morning I passed three polling places, a church, a bank, and a private school. The church and the bank had lines out the door and up the block, the school has a large entry lobby which was full. This was before 7:30 am.

This is Chicago. You don't see lines like this except on election day after work, if the weather's nice.

Considering the numbers of people who voted early, I'm suspecting there's going to be record turn-out for this one.

Good.
