It's Voting Day!
I'm excited.
I'm going to be waiting in line to vote at 7am* (with bells on!) and then I'm going to head over to Starbucks.
So here are my thoughts:
I know as a nation and as a site, we are very divided on many issues and these two candidates. The passion I have read in the last few of months is nothing short of amazing to me. You go Moms and Dads!
And though I don’t expect the Right and the Left to be BFF (Best Friends Forever)- I want to be sensitive about tomorrow. Hopefully by then we’ll find out who won and who lost. And there will be people celebrating… and people throwing a pity party. That is to be expected. I’m going to ask all of you that no matter what happens, watch the bragging and and the “sportsmanship” okay? I think anything extreme or jerky will just divide us further, and all I can think about is: Come Nov. 5th, we will all still be here (well, maybe!) and we, as a community, will have to move forward in politics no matter who may be our new commander-in-chief.
So, happy voting everyone!
Tell us how the wait was… what channels you are going to be watching when polls close. All that good stuff.
Other Things:
http://www.canivote.org/ : What ID you need.
There is a phone number to call if there is trouble while voting: 866-YOU-VOTE
Times your polls close.

Iraq soldiers react to Obama win.
Pay close attention to what the last soldier has to say at the very end of the video.

Our service members know that no matter which candidate they supported, they will surely support their Commander in Chief.
