I went today and voted early. No waiting in line. This was the first time I had ever voted for a black man for any office. I have lived other places, but I have only voted in Carroll Co. There has never before been a black man on my ballot to vote for until today.
I said when it looked like the O was going to give Hillary a run for her money that the Democrates had found a way to loose in spite of Bush. I am still not sure Obama will win. If he loses it will be because he is black. If McCain loses it will be becasue he is not black.
I usually watch the news on NBC. I do not have great regard for any of he newsmen, but I have read Tim Russet's book and I thought he was a regular person. It was so obvious that he really
loved what he was doing. Sometimes when I watch NBC newsmen talk about the election now I feel sad because I think how Russet would have been so excited about all this. I also think my Dad would have enjoyed the election this year. I will be up til the wee hours on Nov. 4. I hope it does not go like 2000 with the pronounced winner changing from hour to hour.
