I voted for him and so did my daughter. She’s nineteen and I’m thirty-eight and was the first time either of us has voted. It’s going to be a special memory we’ll share.

Already voted, and volunteering at the local Obama office on election day. To put this into perspective, the last candidate I actively supported, that is, went to rallies, put out signs, wore the button, etc. was Richard Nixon in 1968.

Let us therefore study the incidents of this, as philosophy to learn wisdom from, and none of them as wrongs to be revenged.
