1. Not to sound like an asshole, but I hope he votes soon.

And doesn't wait until election day.

Oh, ok, I guess I should have watched the video...he's voting today. Sweet.

2. He said he'll be casting an absentee ballot
So yea, it'll be soon. Although, he looks great to be 110.

14. On a radio show this morning they featured a 100yr. old woman voting for the first time
They also suggested she vote early. ;)

5. The man's parting words were "balance the budget" - truer words could not be spoken.

8. He looks great.....
hard to believe he is 110. He sounds much, much, younger than John McCain.

13. Got to love this guy!!!!
Maybe Obama should meet him before the election and get some national coverage.

But I don't know if Obama plans to visit CA before Nov 3.

15. That was amazing
Not necessarily who is voting for, but just how full of life this man is at his age. Many people aren't afforded this kind of opportunity to be of sound mind and of impressive demeanor like this man.

What I wouldn't give to spend just a few hours with this guy and hear the stories he can tell.
