Get Out and Vote!

Make sure you get out and vote today! Although I have to say that my get out and vote message is directed to those voting for John McCain. Barack must be stupid or something because he has been standing at the voting booth now for over 15 minutes (no exaggeration). Or maybe he's smart of being slow as a turtle just so he can get more TV coverage. The commentators are calling him out for doing this all just for TV time. Yes, get off the screen. Blah.

Thankfully my precinct is a very small and most rural one. Most of the voters work in South Walton so I figure it will be busy early this morning and then again late tonight. I'm going to go about 10 or 11. I hope it won't be too bad. I voted in the primary and I only had to wait for 10 minutes or so. I have to say it's a lot different than voting in Alabama.

I still remember the first time I voted. It was in 1998. My precinct was at the Alabama Museum of Fine Arts. They line was so very long. It was Don Sigleman against I think Fob James. Our neighborhood was primarily a republican one and I remember being in line with a couple that lived in Bellwood too. I stood in line for well over an 90 minutes. Not kidding at all. I remember that the couple knew the Foxes who use to attend our church, oh and the "scandal" between the dad and was it George Wallace's son? I can't remember for sure which previous Governor's son he was caught with but it was a very sad thing. I was really young when it all happened.

I also remember before we moved down here I ran into Ms. Fox at Kinkos in Montgomery. I had not seen her in years and she was so sweet. I can't remember all we talked about but it was for quite a while. It's amazing the things I remember. Small and stupid little things.
