chalk up 3 more for the blue team - wife, daughter and I had a pleasant early voting experience

in Raleigh today - no issues (I was ready with my cell phone camera just in case) - it is a big facility (Optimist Park in N Raleigh) - we went mid afternoon, line of about 10 people moved quickly, had our handy dandy ballot filling cheat sheet from the Wake County Dems....was pleased to see most of the 40-50 voting booths filled.

felt good, so so good....I am sure we were among the relatively few blue in a puddle, if not sea, of red - but no matter - we did our part to contribute to a President Obama victory that the nation just must have.....

Thanks for voting for DEMS. We thought our whole neighborhood were Repubs until we
starting putting signs out. Ends up Dems were in majority, the Repubs were just more vocal.
We found each other by getting involved.
