Hey everybody! I might be thousands of miles away but that still didn't keep me from casting my vote in what could be one of the most monumental and most watched elections of all time. My prediction is that there will be a record number of voters registered AND actually voting in this election. Also, because of the record turnout I'm betting that there's going to be long lines and waits at the polls as well. If you're able to, vote early. I had the pleasure of turning in my absentee vote last week because I'm an American overseas. My ballot came directly from the Alameda County Voter's Office and I even had ballot measures for my district sent by the California Secretary of State (don't I feel important). Don't forget, you ALSO have the option to vote early. If you live in California, click this link to find out when and where you can vote early: http://govote.org/. You can also visit that link for more information on where to vote on November 4. Of course I wholeheartedly support Barack Obama for the presidency of the United States but I think the most important thing here is that we all get out and vote. Wait a minute...on second thought...if you're voting for McSame or any of the other less than qualified candidates on the presidential ballot besides Obama, feel free to skip voting this year. Trust me...I won't mind at all. gOBAMA!
