I saw his vote televised also.

He seemed to hesitate at one point. I don't know if it was a moment of reflection and pride he was experiencing or second thoughts about voting himself. ;-)


Just kidding! This has been quite a unique election and I am glad to see as many folks turn out as did.

I do wish more people would make efforts to become informed on the "issues" before voting, but I support and encourage ALL to take advantage of their right to vote.

Obama obviously voted for McCain. I loved this Onion story:

(link is worksafe but other links inside of this website might not be, swearwords.)

[quote=Onion]
TALLAHASSEE, FL—In a campaign gaffe that could potentially jeopardize Sen. Barack Obama's White House bid, the Democratic presidential nominee told nearly 8,000 supporters Tuesday that, if elected, he would be a terrible president.

The blunder, captured by all major media outlets and broadcast live on CNN, occurred when the typically polished Obama fielded a question about his health care policy. Obama answered by saying he would give small business owners a tax credit to help them provide health care for their employees, and then added, "Now, I'm not completely certain that my plan would work because, overall, I think I would make a bad president."

According to sources, before those on hand could fully process what Obama had said, the Illinois senator continued to stumble, claiming that, were he to win the general election, he'd have absolutely no idea what to do.

"My youth and inexperience would definitely make me an awful president," said Obama, whose seven-minute misstep was further exacerbated when he called himself "no expert" on the economy. "To be perfectly honest, I'd be worried about putting me in charge of the most powerful military in the world because I'm not any good when it comes to making important decisions. Also, I'm not sure how much I care about keeping this great nation of ours safe."

"I'm an elitist, I hate Israel, and I want to lose the war in Iraq," Obama concluded, and then, seemingly unaware of the magnitude of his blunder, smiled, gave a thumbs-up to the stunned crowd, and urged his supporters to get out and vote on Nov. 4.[/quote]

Just got back from voting with my wife and son (his first election as a voter!).

This afternoon, I'm going to settle back with a big bowl of popcorn and watch the returns.
