I voted today
I really wanted to vote for Joe, but I knew in my heart that I have to move on. I know he wants us to choose another candidate. I selected Obama and watch the box next to his name and submitted my vote. I walked out having no idea whether it will be counted or not. No paper trail, nothing. I used to live in New York and they used the old lever voting machines. No paper trail there either, but you had to vote for somebody pull the lever to get out from the curtain. I don't know, it was just different. So I walked out having voted but I didn't have the same sense of satisfaction that I would have had if I had voted for Joe. Joe wants us to get up, and so I did.

1. It's getting so close (the race) that if you're leaning in one direction or the
other, you should go ahead and vote for who you favor.

Joe's carrying on, we have to, too.

I'm still hoping, though, that I'll be able to vote for -- or write in -- Joe in my primary. And If I can, I promise I'll do it for all of you who weren't able to.

2. Good for you mudrunner!
I had the same twinge last Tuesday when I voted online for Obama with DemsAbroad. There was JOE BIDEN staring me in the face, but I heard his voice and Joe said "God Love ya kid, but vote for one of the remaining candidates."

I chose Obama as well. Who knows, maybe we will see Obama/Biden? One can dream can't they?
