Got out and voted before going to work.
Seemed weird that there were only 2 people out in front looking for last minute vote changes, and they were for the bottle bill.
No candidate supporters to be seen.
I and my mother were voters #297 & #298 at a Hyde Park location.
This was at 9:00 am.
I hope the voter turnout is more than expected, but somehow I just don't see the younger voters caring enough to put down their Iphone, Ipods and Xboxes long enough to give a hoot let alone cast a vote.
Remember the presidential voting stats: More people voted for American Idol than the presidency of the United States!
Of course when these slackers start to see less and less of daddy's money (cause the previledged ones don't HAVE to work) they'll be looking for someone to blame.
My brothers and I have made it a point to educate our nieces and nephews about the importance of the voting process, and that it's THEIR responsibility to know what is going on and what they are voting for (or against).
I only hope that they choose wisely!.....
