Suppressed?
Well, I did my civic duty and voted yesterday. The process was agonizing... I went to my assigned polling place, but I was not on their little list. They sent me uptown to the courthouse, where I had to re-register to vote. After waiting for a fucking HOUR to get the form, I got my ballot. I was at the courthouse for approximately an hour and twenty minutes.
When I wasn't napping, I could hear the election officials talking about how they've never seen so many people voting. It certainly is exciting to be a part of this election; it's bound to be one for the history books.
One thing that kind of disgusts me is how many women voted for Hillary simply because she's a she. To me, those people are in the same category as the people who voted for Bush simply because they thought he was a good Christian. There's more that should be considered when choosing the leader of the free world than whether or not the candidate has ovaries.
With so many racist dumb-fucks around here, I'm actually pretty surprised Obama won Montana. Maybe even Montana has made some progress.
So, Barack Obama, you won Montana, and, it appears, the Democratic nomination. I spent a good chunk of my day waiting in line so I could vote for you. Please go forth and prove yourself worthy of all the hope that has been placed in you.
