I voted today. Now we await the outcome. 

It's snowing here - again - the roads are slick. Even with my 4WD I had issues on my road.  The polling place is straight up a steep hill. 

By the time I got there (about 10:30am), I was  number 598 on the electronic ballot counter. There were lots more people behind me.  It's not even noon yet!  It was a steady stream of cars headed up the hill. 

There was only one thing on the ballot.  The Senate election. 

That's pretty damned impressive if you ask me.

I'm very happy to see such a terrific turn out.  Nothing is worse than apathy and no voters. 

If you live in MA - have you voted today?

1 It's fair to say that the other 57* 49 states are watching intently. Go Scott Go!

2 Not that every election isn't important, but isn't it thrilling to vote in such a high profile, meaningful election?  This election is quickening the pulse of every pol watcher the country over...

3 It ranks second only to the one time I got to vote against Teddy Kennedy in the last Senate election.  Just being able to vote against him (even if it didn't "work") was something I will always treasure.

4 I don't think just the other 49 states were watching this election.  I think the rest of the free world was watching to see if America is still the bastion of liberty and freedom that they believe in and desire to come to and make their new home.
