Election Day

Finally.

I voted. I cast my ballot for Obama and a long list of good Democrats. Retail politics in NH is a funny thing - except for Obama/Biden, I've met every person on the ballot. And from Carol Shea-Porter down, I know each of them personally.

I've had mixed emotions all day. Part of me worries that the Republicans will find a way to steal the election. Part of me is hoping for a landslide victory. Most of me doesn't care how victory is won, just that we win it.

We've been involved in the Obama GOTV efforts here in rural NH. Canvassing all day, visibility at the poll, the Houdini project (checking to make sure our voters vote!), and vote counters after the poll closes (we still use paper ballots in our town.) All totaled, we have close to 50 people volunteering today - in a town of 3,000.

There were three people holding signs for Republicans today - eight for Democrats.
