We finally got to vote here in MD today; and since JRE's exit a couple
weeks ago, I was firmly in the undecided camp. I could still cast a
symbolic tally for JRE and strongly considered that; but in the end, I
decided to choose a viable candidate. Without much daylight between
HRC & BHO, it was a tough choice. Unlike a substantial number of
Americans, I do not hate Hillary. I think she'd be a fine POTUS.
Still, there's no denying the positive groundswell behind Obama, and I
think he's a better contrast against whatever neanderthal the R's put
on the ballot. I went with Obama.

But, since casting that vote this morning, I've continued to weigh the
merits of my choice. Then, in the Senate today, the FISA legislation
has come up for several significant votes that could well determine
the fate of our rights and freedoms as Americans. Barack Obama showed
up and cast his vote as I wished the entire Senate would. Hillary
Clinton didn't bother to show up. I feel a lot better about my choice
this morning.

Obama is kicking ass in Virginia. I just heard that the closing of the
polls in Maryland has been delayed due to bad weather.

Came out of my office in DC at 5:30. Truck was evenly coated
with almost a quarter of an inch of ice. Roads awful. People
still going to the polls.

Great. That favors Obama because his supporters are more passionate than
Clinton's.

Sorry about the truck.

Quite right - complacency will lose an election every time.
