democracy in action!

i got up bright and early at 6:30 this morning. (well, six technically but i rolled around in bed for a while)

i made it to the polling place shortly after 7:00 to find a nice long line. bummertown.

i had secret hopes of getting in and out quickly and then walking over to perly's for a delicious post-voting breakfast, but it wasn't in the cards. i stood in line for about an hour and when my turn came i placed my vote.

i voted for obama (of course) and mark warner (also of course).

the mayor's race was something i didn't really take the time to educate myself on fully. i did some initial research and hopefully i picked the right guy. when it came to choosing a city council member or a school board member, i was totally uninformed. since i didn't want to pick the WRONG person, i figured i would leave it in the hands of the more informed voters to make a choice for those positions.

so i wrote in myself for the school board and billy for city council.

if we win, we're going to make big changes in richmond.

just you wait and see.
