The Candy Man and I ask you to please go out and vote for Barack Obama today. (If you live in CA join The Candy Man in voting NO on Prop 8). If you haven't voted yet stop reading the damn blogs and get out there. If you've already voted call a friend or relative and help them get to the polls.

I did it! YEAH!
I did too.
I have a personal reason for voting Democratic, however. My son is handicapped and I hope that stem cell research may help him.
I even voted for Kerry. So for the past few years I've been telling people "Don't blame me."
I got to my polling place at five to seven and it (only?) took me an hour to vote. If you live in NY and want to do more find a local campaign office and volunteer to make phone calls. Find you nearest office at: www.barackobama.com
WHO AM I??
I was raised in one country but my father was born in another. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with a number of women.
I became very close to my mother because my father showed little interest in me. Then my mother died at an early age from cancer. Later in life, questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a reliable birth certificate.
I grow up practicing one faith, but converted to Christianity because this was widely accepted in my country. But I practiced non-traditional beliefs and did not follow mainstream Christianity.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics when I was in my 30s and then burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office when I was in my 40s. I had a virtually non-existent resume, very little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful speaker who managed to draw incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country’s foreign policy. I was critical of my country in the last war. But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy. I had a plan on how we could do better. I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.
Mine was a peoples campaign. I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain widespread popular support. I offered the people the hope that together we could change our country and the world.
I spoke on behalf of the downtrodden including persecuted minorities such as Jews, but my actual views were not widely known until after I became my nations leader. However, anyone could have easily learned what I really believed if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. But they did not.
Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.
Who am I?

You thought I was talking about someone else… didn’t you?
Bankman,
While you were busy cutting and pasting that text I contacted a dozen Obama supporters and told them where their polling place was. But good luck with your campaign!
yay
voted also, though Candyman might not be happy about it :)
Took only like 10 minutes
not that it matters. this election was over a long time ago.
its amazing how many people you can get to vote for you if you promise just to give them money!
how many charedi jews in israel would vote for the candidate that promised them they could stay in kollel while the govt picked up their bills?!?!
I voted absentee last week -- in a swing state! ...though I voted for a candidate who isn't named Obama...
I voted too. It took me only minutes with only one person ahead when I was ready to vote. I voted for McCain though a Democrat and for a proposition that should help have cleaner water. Unless you feel democracy is best served with the opposition staying home I deserve kudos too.
Jessica,
> I voted for a candidate who isn't named Obama.
That's cool. I'm sure Ron Paul appreciated it. :P
LNM,
it's funny that you say that. in my hometown there were tons of (okay, not tons, but more than you'd expect for someone who isn't Obama or McCain) Ron Paul signs around the last time I was there.
I voted too. One step forward for democracy.

Two steps forward since I voted too.
The election's over. It's ok to admit everyone who voted promoted democracy. Really even during the election this was ok to say.

CandyMan and Lubab are you able to say everyone who voted thereby promoted democracy?
