Is Democracy Worth Getting Up Early?

[saone]

Yes, yes it is. *g*

Got to the polling place ten minutes after it opened, and I was the 61st person to vote! Usually I'm around 14th, but 61st, that's just... amazing. That kind of turn out's never even happened in a presidential election. Heh, maybe if it had, Virginia wouldn't be labeled as a red state.

Anyway, we've had such a good run under Mark Warner, here's hoping we get four more years with a Democrat at the helm. *crosses fingers and toes*

Hey,

Do you have bake-sales at your Voting places after? We do. It's the only reason I really bother to turn up. If I have to get up at 8am and run the gauntlet of Fudalooney whackoes waving paphlets endorsing lesbians being burnt at the stake, I want cookies after!

No, no bake sales. I still turn up for the whole civic duty thing. ;)

Hey,

btw- You turned up in my dreams again- taking me and David Arquette (?!!) on a tour of the arachnids in your local swamp. Get out of my head!! *g*

I'm hoping Warner will run for Pres. in 2008.

That would be awesome. He did such a good job here in VA after two terms of Republican incompetence. He'd be just the person to clean up after Bush.
