was for Mondale/Ferraro!

Geraldine Ferraro may have had some political issues. But her presence on that ticket helped blaze a trail for Hillary. RIP Gerry.

Soon to be Ms. President.

Lake county Florida. Voted straight ticket for the Democratic Party this afternoon.

Long lines. Lots of minorities even this conservative areas and LOTs of women with young girls. 3 people in red shirts. All old(so am I) all white(so am I). And all scowling at the diverse crowd.

While waiting I was seated next an African American lady. And OK, I stereotyped and assumed she was voting for Hillary. I leaned over and quietly told her it was Hillary's birthday. She just smiled and said 'I know'.

A day to remember.

It took me 5 minutes at most.

I live in Collin county Texas. Plano to be more precise.

The precincts in this part of Plano are deep, deep Red.

There is very low turnout for early voting here. Dallas is another story. Very Blue and the turnout is setting records. It was heavy for the last two elections and reportedly may double that.

Low Republican turnout may define the outcome of this election. I know a lot of Republicans. And many are saying they can't bring themselves to vote for Trump.

I've never voted for a woman for president either, and despite not supporting Hillary in the primaries either time, I'm pretty excited to do so now.

To paraphrase John Kerry, I'll be proud to say "I voted against her before I voted for her". Maybe I should make a Bernie Supporters for Hillary shirt that says that.

Ditto in 2008, for Obama. But as I explained to my LSAT student the other night, voting is by definition mutually exclusive, so technically I voted against her twice.

I just thought "I voted against her before I voted for her" was funny.

You know I'm automatically attracted to beautiful places, but I can't even afford to walk in here. But since my fingers are long and beautiful, and I can write great great reviews, I'll give it a shot. And mark my words, it will be the best review you'll ever ever read on Yelp.

I once had the hugest crush on the owner and he cheated on me like a dog by letting many many Americans down. And with this bar, he will do it again - just watch. And now, since a noted loser owns this place, I can see this place getting terrible terrible ratings, worse than CNN and MSNBC. Mark my words, the greatest reviewer ever.
