7 Long Hours In The Pouring Rain...

^^^^
That's my ballot up above. Aint it grand? :)

I voted early today in Miami Gardens. I got there a little before 11 AM thinking I would beat the crowds by arriving two hours before the polls opened. WRONG. The line was already wrapped around the block twice. In the end it took me exactly seven hours to vote. But boy was it worth it. Now I can kick back on election day with my fiancee and watch the pundits go crazy.

Some crazy things that happened today:

1) A puerto rican family set up shop to sell t-shirts to voters standing in line. But at $30 a pop no one was buying.

2) Poll workers started handing out tickets to make sure that people who stood in line for hours would still have a chance to vote, even though the poll was supposed to close at five.

3) A fender bender took place right before my eyes because some dude thought he could stop in a six lane street to drop his wife off at the curb. Even though it was his fault he wanted to call the police because he was bumped from behind. There was no damage to either vehicle so the guy who hit him pulled off. When he tried to elicit pity from us in the crowd we shamed him so bad that he pulled off without calling the cops. LOL.

4) One of the few white voters out there tried to skip the line and got ratted out and kicked to the back of the line.

5) McCain had his shyster lawyers out in force trying to disenfranchise voters but we weren't having none of that!

Not the blazing Miami sun, nor pouring rain, nor long lines, nor snake in the grass lawyers could deter the thousands who poured out today no doubt in support of Obama. I could have voted in Aventura but I wanted to be amongst my people and I have to say I was very proud and moved to tears at the amount of people who came out today. Yes we most certainly can!
