Rockin' the Vote

I voted today. :D

Being a whopping 25 years old, this is only the second presidential election I've been eligible to vote in. I was soooo excited about voting in 2004, I remember it like it was yesterday. My vote was really more of a protest vote then. I didn't love the Kerry/Edwards ticket, but I hated George Bush so much (still do!) that it wouldn't have mattered it a communist was running against him, I'd have voted for the communist. Jake was already deployed at the time of that election and I was not a happy camper about the Iraq War. I never have been, but I digress.

This time, I love my candidate. Love, love, love. I told the girls at work I'd have his babies. LOL (I hope no one thinks I'm talking about John McCain here!) He really inspires me to want to go out and help others and just generally be a better person. It is a really strange feeling to be so moved by a stranger.

He's having a rally in Springfield tomorrow and I'm very tempted to make the drive. I need to see if I can get some details worked out, we'll see. I know it is about 2 hours from here and Jake won't come with me, so I'd either be going by myself or with Spencer. I don't think Spence would appreciate being dragged 2 hours for a political rally, although it is quite adorable to see him point to Obama on TV and say "That's Barack Obama!" which sounds more like "That's a rock baaama!"

Don't forget to vote!
