I will try again - this went walkies a minute ago.

I arrived at my polling place at 7:15AM to two lines of 200+ people each. This was after waiting for a parking spot for about five minutes.

The place was packed with young and old, people in wheel chairs, people with babies, people in suits, people in jeans. Some were wearing Obama buttons. I saw no McCain voters proclaiming their support.

I have always said that if someone could motivate high scholl and college students to vote, we could change the direction of the country. Someone did. There were groups of awkward teens registering with pride. Apparently, it is now "cool" to vote.

I hope the enthusiasm carries over to the "minor" elections where a single vote really can make a huge difference.

Anyone else vote today?
