A vote and a half for McCain please

I had to take Dru with me to the Church to vote today. Everyone fell in love with him. He sat in his stroller for an entire hour before getting fussy. Surprised everyone- especially me. There was a woman behind me that held him while I placed my vote. We share last names too. Except she is a Mrs. There was an asian couple in front of me that were playing with Dru a lot. The Asian lady was tiny- I mean really tiny. She played with Dru's "piggies." Even sang him a song in another language. (Probably Vietnamese.) He liked everyone too. Until we entered the church doors. We waited about an hour outside and then 20 minutes inside in line. The 20 minutes was the hard part, but everyone was trying to entertain him. All the conversations around me were about where people lived and homeschooling and sports. Not a single one was about the election. Weird huh? I shared with the couple in front of me and the Mrs. Baker behind me that it was my first time to vote. Then they shared who they had voted for in their first elections. (all republicans btw) I was getting a little discouraged because most of my family and my friends are voting Obama. I kinda feared I was going to suffer from the wasted vote syndrome, but at the polling site everyone was pretty much voting for McCain. (We are on the north side- It makes sense.)

and MAN! I wish my last name started with an M-Z - That line wasn't even half the length of the A-L ! Bummer!
