I love election day. Ever since I was a little girl, I've been a fan of election day. Before I started school, my dad was in the Kansas House of Representatives. Then, when I was in 2nd grade, he ran for Attorney General. Then his campaign for US Congress in 1974. He ran for judge and the Kansas House again.
When he wasn't on the ballot, I was always aware of who was. My first presidential vote was cast, by absentee ballot in my room at Fort Hays State University, for Jimmy Carter.
My car typically tells the world where I stand politically.
So does my fridge:
Fred Hall was Governor of Kansas. He was from Dodge City and my dad went to Dodge right out of law school to work for Fred. I found this bumper sticker in an antique store and knew that I had to have it.
I still have this Kerry sticker up to remind me of the election the republicans stole. Well, the first one, anyway. If the repugs start screaming about an Obama victory, I'll have to put this sticker back on my car.
Here's a great sticker. Kim Clark is an openly gay man who was running for Congress from Ohio.
Kim Clark is also Baby's name.
But don't tell anyone so she can remain anonymous on this blog.
My favorite words today: President Obama takes another state.
