I realize that an "I voted!" story from Massachusetts isn't all that thrilling in and of itself. Although I prefer to stand in line and participate in the ritual at the polls, I voted absentee at City Hall last night because I'll be spending election day (and the five preceding days) in NH to GOTV. When I casually mentioned that to the clerk, she laughed and said that, from her perspective, it seems about half the town will be in NH on election day. Way to go, Team Obama!
But that's not why I'm writing. I want to share why I voted, why I lingered over my ballot to savor the Obama-Biden line, and why I cried at City Hall.
