I just voted for Hillary in the NC primary! This is all so exciting and wonderful!

I just got back from voting! I even got my sticker! I couldn't believe it. Every booth was full. I have never had to wait before. The people were so kind. They asked if it was my first time (because I'm in the younger demographic) and I smiled and told them no but that I couldn't believe the turn out.

I am so proud of my state right now! It feels awesome, for one day only, to live in NC! I don't care if people are voting for Barack (who will probably win) or Hillary! It is just so wonderful that people are voting and actually CARE! This is what America is all about, and it just makes me beam!

One of the volunteers at the polling place looked to be my age, and I saw a couple of other people my age walking in as I was leaving. It's rare to see young people vote in my county since it's rather rural and filled with mostly baby boomers! They're probably voting for Obama... but they're VOTING! I hope this leads to a huge turn out in the GE. Usually I feel like the only person in my circle that cares about politics and how it can shape and change society. I took notes on all the local candidates, and which ones were endorsed by Equality-NC, and so on... and usually my friends think I am so dumb to waste my time on it. But that isn't the way it is looking today. Today it looks like people care, like people want to heard, like maybe they woke and realized that this stuff might not be such a dumb waste of time after all.

Whether you vote for Clinton or Obama, check in! I think both of the candidates are good candidates. Revel with me on how wonderful it feels to participate in this democracy that we are so lucky to have... and how wonderful it is to finally see others so enthusiastic!

Everyone at Operation Chaos thanks you!

And Obama supporters wanted Hillary to drop out so you couldn't be excited about voting.

I've never called for her to drop out, and a lot of Obama supporters feel that she should not drop out. I think if she loses Indiana tonight she might have a hard time continuing her campaign, but I don't see that happening.

on Super Tuesday, thus not caring too much if all of those other states voted.

and I didn't want Edwards to drop out either...that would've made it even more exciting...

look forward to your vote for Obama in the fall

along with my full support.

Was today your first vote? If so, double congratulations.

I know how you feel...when I was in high school, I was hungry to talk about politics all the time and my friends were marginally interested but not the extent I was. It's one of the reasons I decided to go to school in DC, because at American lots of people lived and breathed politics. I now work in politics so I have coworkers to debate the primaries all day long with (most of my office is Obama, except for some of the senior staff and one young black man who makes more than $50k...total demographic anomoly).

and look a little younger than my age. So she asked, I could tell she was VERY excited about this. She was probably as amazed as me to see young people coming out. :)

for a change from the last 7.5 years of Bush crap.

Congrats, i can feel your enthusiasm! It's contagious. :toast:

Ultimately, it's the process that's most important. Candidates come and go, some good, some bad, some once-in-a-lifetime, but the process will always be there and represents our collective voice. It is our only chance to change the political landscape of our country, and it's OUR power and our power alone. There is no corporation, no one powerful individual, who has any more say in the process than the poorest individual. it is, truly, a measure of our inherent equality behind the caste system that society has put in place for us to navigate through.

Really wish you had pulled the lever for Obama, but congratulations on your choice. All the best to you. :)

I'll be pulling the lever for him along with you in November ;)

Hillary on her worst day is a far cry better than the best McCain has to offer. I would have no reservations about voting for her if she gets the nod.

Best wishes to you. :)

I voted for Hillary too.

The turnout everywhere in the country has made this the most exciting primary I ever heard of! Cool that you had such an exciting experience, too!
:D

:kick:

I've never seen our party so energized.

Congrats on voting!

:toast:

So good to see your enthusiasm for voting. I am also glad to see that you found a good turnout at your place of voting,

Go Hillary

to cast my primary vote. Record breaking turnout is always a good thing.
