aLearnerRather Commented on Tell Us Your Voting Stories by Greg Sargent

DuPage County, IL: I voted about 7:15 this morning. Short line as usual. The election judges are usually retirees, older white folks, but today, in addition to the retirees, there was a young girl of twenty or so, an Asian woman, my neighbor Rosemary, and a young black man wearing a tie. It was a great looking crew. No trouble voting, beautiful day, and I hope hope hope it all works out.

I also called about thirty PA voters for Obama this morning, and I may call another batch soon.

I hadn't heard Bible Spice, that's awesome. My other favorite is "Caribou Barbie."

I vote Katie Couric. Not many people took her seriously before those Palin interviews (including, I suspect, the McCain campaign) but she was tough and classy and told The Story. But all the nominees are respectable. Interesting, but not surprising, that they're all women. The men in cable news are knuckleheads. Except Anderson Cooper--he KILLS on Sesame Street.
