Barack Obama Votes in Chicago
Half an hour ago, Senator Barack Obama voted for himself in a Chicago gym.
Although undoubtedly hopeful about his chances of winning, the Senator from Illinois looked exhausted.
After today, however, he will have time to recover, and to prepare for the coming four years, which are unlikely to be a cake ride.
Senator John McCain will vote in his home state of Arizona later today. He too is undoubtedly looking forward to the end of the campaign, although the 72-year old looks more energetic than his 47-year old rival.

Obama definitely looked tired by the last debate. In fairness though, who couldn’t be – it was one big race. Although I cannot remember any other presidential candidate that took as much time off in the big race as Obama did.
wouldn’t it be funny if Obama – in the booth though. Damn they are right, I have less experience than McCain’s VP Pick, and pulled the less taxes lever.
I wonder who Hillary Clinton is voting for….
Ha! I’m afraid that others will look at her when she votes – she won’t take the risk, let me put it like that.
It is well known that she has a great relationship with McCain; if she thought she could get away with it, I wouldn’t rule our her voting for the Republican nominee.
in the privacy of the booth, anybody can vote for anyone.
Well except in Florida where you can vote for one, then complain about it – or have your non vote attempted to be determined if there is a vote, and probably – changed from what you wanted.

Which is more than what the Dems want to allow in union shops in the near future.
