i'm not exceptionally political. for the majority of this election season, my feelings have been of annoyance and anger, with only mild moments of positives. i'm not a huge fan of obama, i like mccain even less, i hate palin, and i have no opinion on biden. but today, seeing the grinning people at my polling place, and the grinning people with the "i voted" sticker on campus, and hearing about record turnout and voter patience in the face of long lines and glitches, i'm happy to be a part of it. this is probably silly and sentimental, but it's a big day, whether i like any of the candidates or not, and i'm glad to have participated.

also, i was happy to vote no on AZ's version of the gay marriage amendment, prop 102. i have no idea how it's doing in the polls, though. i sincerely hope it fails, but the thing i'm really worried about is prop 8 in CA.
