I Voted here in Maine yesterday, therefore preserving my right to complain!
To the surprise of absolutely NOBODY who has known me for at least 5 minutes or has ever looked at the back of my wife's and my cars, I voted for President Obama. It was the final vote I cast because I was saving that vote for "dessert". My first votes cast were for District Attorney and State Rep, because both of our Democratic candidates are friends of mine. I supported sending our Congresswoman, Chellie Pingree, back for another term and I supported our Democratic and anti teabagger candidate for State Senate. I PROUDLY and HAPPILY voted FOR marriage equality in Maine. Despite the publicity that some other states, like Maryland, are justifiably receiving about the liklihood of their passing Marriage Equality, I kinda hope that WE are the first state to be declared as approving it on election night. To add a bit of side information, my wife's best friend is a member of the LGBT community. She and her soon to be recognized in Maine spouse have been the best and most loyal friends possible. We would (and have) left our son in their care LONG before we would trust any fundie teabagger dipshit with him.
My only bit of trepadation was in my vote for US Senate. While my heart is with Cynthia Dill, our Democratic nominee, I cast my ballot for Angus King. It runs against my grain to not vote for the Democrat, but the last thing I want is charlie summers (the republican and a paul lepage #2) in the senate. I do believe that King will vex us from time to time, but he'll vote more in line with our Maine values much more than summers ever would. I hope that Cynthia Dill has a political future after this election. We need more smart and articulate leaders up here!
BTW, our DA nominee (hopefully winner) is named Maeghan Maloney. I mention her because you may be seeing her name within the next several years with the title "GOVERNOR" proceeding it!
That's my very proud 2 cents, and quite possibly overpriced at that!
PEACE!
