Just voted in NC

[applexcore]

Voted in the rural part of my county in NC. I pulled in and there were 3 McCain signs lining the entrance and not one Obama sign. I then realized I should have went to the main city of the county to vote because theres a huge AA population there, and I would have felt more at home with fellow Democrats.

I parked close to the building to avoid being hammered by the sidewalk liners, since I didn't really feel like hearing about McCain the maverick or any other GOP trash that they wanted to throw at me. One lady managed to get to me, but it was for a non-partisan office who I already intended to vote for. Turns out, she knew my brother, a local police officer, and said some nice things about him to butter me up.


I voted Obama/Biden, straight party Dem (No Independents that I liked), and some local people that I knew for NP offices. I couldn't resist the urge on the last choice and decided to write-in my name for "Soil and Water Conservation District Supervisor". :evilgrin:



Hopefully I'll have some extra money to go by the local campaign HQ Monday to get some Obama signs for the runways to the election building--The rural areas of my county are often overlooked.

2. Thanks in advance for getting those Obama signs

I think a lot of people in small towns and rural areas are afraid to say that they are Dems. I know that I have always kept my political opinions to myself when I visit my hometown of about 1800 people.

3. My mom is going to the big Saturday night social thing in her small town tonight...

...wearing her Obama T-shirt. She's not scared or anything. For one thing, everybody there has known her for decades, and she'll have her two brothers with her.

My mom is kicking ASS this year!

5. Not long when I got there

But they said there were at least 10 people in line at all times before I got there (With about 12 booths filled.)
