It's Election Day! How was your voting experience?

I felt Proud. Empowered. Thrilled. Exhilarated. Like I was a part of history in the making.

There were about 20 ahead of me and only one ahead of mom.

Don't miss the video!

Powell endorses Obama for president

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27265369/

WASHINGTON - Former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for president on Sunday, criticizing his own Republican Party for what he called its narrow focus on irrelevant personal attacks over a serious approach to challenges he called unprecedented.

. . . culled clips that make Obama sound truly egomaniacal — taps into a conversation that has been gaining urgency on Christian radio, political blogs, and in widely-circulated email messages that accuse Obama of being the Antichrist.

As the ad begins, the words "It should be known that in 2008 the world shall be blessed. They will call him The One" flash across the screen. The Antichrist of the Left Behind books is a charismatic young political leader named Nicolae Carpathia who founds The One World religion (slogan: "We are God") and promises to heal the world after a time of deep division. One of several Obama clips in the ad features the senator saying, "A nation healed, a world repaired. We are the ones that we've been waiting for."

Democratic consultant Eric Sapp knows that the phrasing and images could just be dismissed as a peculiar coincidence. After all, it was Oprah Winfrey who told an Iowa crowd that Obama was "the one!" But, he insists, "the frequency of these images and references don't make any sense unless you're trying to send the message that Obama could be the Antichrist."

Crazy. Besides, don't they know that Oprah is the Antichrist?

My fellow Texans. Today is THE day. The day WE make policital history.

I've voted? Have you?

I'm caucusing tonight. Are you?

I shook hands with the next President of the United States.

People started getting in line at 7:45a, the gates opened at noon and he's scheduled to speak at 2p. If I hadn't had off Friday and yesterday (and didn't have doctor appts tomorrow, Thursday and next Tuesday), I'd have taken the day off and waited it out.

Hillary's coming back later this week (Bill's in on Thursday too), so maybe he will be back before March 4. I really would like to see him in person and not just as a live stream on my PC.

BaylorGirl has a nice recap of our trip to see Hil last week.

Obama comes to town tomorrow. The doors open at noon. Which means I need to be in line at 10a. I wish today hadn't been a holiday, it would make it easier to be gone half a day.
