Rock the Vote

I didn't vote today. I voted days ago, making sure my mail in ballot was received on time. There wasn't too much to say about the experience, since I didn't partake in the whole waiting in line to get to a booth thing, but that doesn't mean it still doesn't feel good to get my opinion counted. And the facts that this will no doubt be an election for the history books, as well as being my first time of age to vote, certainly made the whole process more interesting.t the whole experience is that I am sick of people asking who I voted for. It's MY vote, MY right as an American. And I probably wouldn't feel this way if people didn't try so hard to push their candidate on you. I could easily sit down and have a respectable conversation with you as to the pros and cons of each candidate, however please don't make it seem as though every time someone votes for Obama a puppy dies or a McCain victory would lead to cyborgs taking over the Earth.

OK, so it's not that extreme, but sometimes it does get a little ridiculous.
