WOOHOO! I voted for Obama/Biden and Sherrod Brown in Ohio Today!

I was there at 8:15 this morning, voted, and was out the door by 8:25.

I live in a relatively small town in Northern Ohio. There were only 3 people ahead of me so I didn't even have to wait.

I volunteered with the OFA campaign to give people a ride to the polls. Since we are in a somewhat small town, they told me they would call me if someone needs a ride.

It would be irresponsible to vote for a man who forgets his history, lies so much that the vast media has called him & Ryan the lyingest Presidential candidates in the history of our nation, who disdains almost 1/2 of the nation, who wants to give the upper 1% tax cuts on top of the Bush cuts, who kowtows to the Conservative rulers of his party who are destroying the once great GOP by doing away with all those in the party who disagree with their "set in stone" beliefs, who is afraid to open his mouth to disagree with those in his party who have created laws against women, unions, the compromises of collective bargaining, voting rights, redistribution fairness, & so much more. How can we trust him to do as he should, not as his party rulers tell him to do? He is a rich, spoiled, pandering disappointment to all of us who originally wanted him as our next President. As a former anti-Obama Democrat, I believe Obama is ten times a better person than Romney could ever be.....and a person who works for the good of the people, not for the good of
making the rich richer.

That was such a wonderful assessment you made - and it was all true. Bless your heart, you know what you're talking about!

I congratulate you on your intelligence. May this be the start of the end of Romney & those bums in Congress who
only know how to gum up the works in place of doing their jobs to get our nation back on its feet.

In '04 the Kerry campaign was active in Columbus and other major cities, but it was VERY late in the campaign before there was news that a new field office would open in Marion. It was striking to learn that there hadn't been a field office there...

Props for volunteering for GOTV election day, LeftofObama !

exactly one week from today. I expect the place to be packed this year all during the early voting session.

I will be there, though, and since their attempt to voter cage me out of my vote 4 years ago failed so miserably, I will vote.
