EARLY VOTING
Although I’m against early voting as a general principle, I decided that if I perish before the election that I can cancel out the vote of some octogenarian socialist that doesn’t make it either. I owe Bush at least that. Down here in Florida we can vote at selected public libraries and to my surprise the cue was ten people long during my entire hunt for DVDs and books.
The early vote kept me from the hour-long lines that I endured during the 1992 and 2000 elections, but I came away feeling cheated that I couldn’t come home and watch the returns which has become a habit with me every four years. I like watching returns better than the Olympics.
Bush was in Daytona two Saturday’s ago but I couldn’t get tickets despite my efforts. We’ve seen all kinds of campaigning around here lately. Cheney and wife were in Lakeland. Pataki, Barbour and Jeb did a tour at the Executive Airport. Sean Hannity and pals are coming to Orlando on Saturday to push the Bush vote. Being a swing state keeps you in the excitement.
