UPDATED: Retrowire and Mrs Retrowire have officially cast our ballots. Hillary has our votes! Do right by us Hillary and we will return the favor. This is our chance to continue the platform that Bernie originally enamored us with. The political revolution shall continue on Hillary's platform and well, I gotta say, it does bring a bit of pride to cast my first presidential vote for a woman.

Gender isn't the point of this, but it is a significant event and my feminist self cannot deny this.

Come Tuesday, I have a very good feeling Trump will lose but, unless the Democrats truly wipe the whole place clean, we'll be looking at longer battles ahead of us.

And we'll fight those battles too.

Good luck everyone!

And I'm sorry for judging books by their covers but, it's looking pretty democratic so far.

Obama in Washington was similar: insanely cold but warmed by the jubilant crowd

Good for you! It would be way worse on Tuesday, would it not?

I found out a few weeks ago that I wasn't going to be in town, so I requested an early voter / absentee ballot. The line was over a block long, but those of us with our ballot envelopes could bypass the line and just drop it off in the box. I suspect that it will be longer lines through to Election Day. This is Arizona, between the talking yam, and ex-governor finger-in-face, the Latino turnout will be rather "vengeful", in addition to that of Sane Human Beings.
