1. You don't sound happy. Surely tens of millions with the
decency, ethics, and responsibility to vote for him deserve him? Including you, of course.

3. I certainly hope so. Voted in West Mobile...
...during lunch. Place was nearly empty. It’s a pretty red area, so I hope that’s a good sign. Passed two midtown locations on my way back, and there were lines. Midtown is pretty blue.
