Not Voting Today
As of yesterday, I was planning to vote today -- the first day of early voting here in Tennessee. I even changed my Facebook status yesterday to "Brendan is voting tomorrow!" But I've decided to wait. It just feels weird to cast my ballot so early. Even though I'm 99.99% sure I want to vote for Obama, what if that somehow changes? What if he comes out in tonight's debate and says, "Why actually, yes, I am a socialist and a terrorist"? ;)
Okay, that's not going to happen, but still, I'd rather wait a while longer. I have to vote early (though not often!) because of our unique geographic situation, but I figure I'll probably wait until Monday, October 27. That's just a week and a day before the actual election, which seems much more reasonable.
That said, I'm still going to take pictures of the Obama folks' march to the polls this afternoon, and of various other first-day-of-voting festivities, and post 'em in my Election 2008 gallery.
