So that's done

I made my final decision while driving home from chorus last night.

Originally, I'd been planning on voting after work, but I woke up a little early today, so I decided to hit the polls when they opened. I told myself it was to get it over with, and because I like getting to wear the "I Voted" sticker all day, but secretly (although not so secretly, since I'm telling all of you) I think I really wanted to get down there so I couldn't change my mind again!

I was third in line of about eight people when the polls opened, and the line was out the door as I was leaving. I guess I'm not the only one who's excited about voting in a primary that's more than a rubber stamp. California officials are expecting a record turnout, and I bet they get it.

Tonight should be very interesting. Too bad it's a concert week. So instead of being glued to the TV and the computer all night, I'll be on the stage, working through the Carmina Burana. Maybe it's better this way, especially as it seems unlikely that the Democrats will choose a nominee tonight. But you can bet that I'll still snap on the radio the minute I get in the car.

LOL, I didn't see this post when I just posted in your last post. I see you're being coy about who you voted for. :) Well, either way I hope you feel good about it! Tonight we get to caucus — bleah! Give me a primary any day.

The whole caucus thing seems weird. Since I've only ever been registered to vote in California, I've never done it. Seems like a relic from our old small-town ways. If you wanted to share a report of what it's like, I'd be curious. ;)

I think having something to do tonight will be the only way to maintain sanity, and at least you are on the right side of the country, so that when you do turn on the radio there might actually be some results!

I voted too this morning, many people, many little old foreign ladies manning the desks :)

which sort of begs the question- why is it always the women who are willing to do the dirty work to keep the country moving? (you can probably guess how I voted :) )
