Who else voted in pajamas? |
|
My polling place is right across the street from my house, so I just rolled out of bed at 7:00, threw on a robe and slippers, affixed my Kerry pin to the lapel and trundled across the street so I didn't have to wait in line. The mood was upbeat and we had at least 3 lawyers standing around outside just WAITING for any hint of voter irregularity.
I voted (no problems, straight Dem ticket, easy), and came out to tell the lawyers that one of the voting machines was broken (it was) and the line was going to start backing up, discouraging people from voting. They whipped out those cell phones faster than you could say "Go back to Crawford, you fucking freak!"
I think Philadelphia's a lock. :)

Everyone in my neighborhood is pro-Kerry, so voting was like a gathering of friends. (it's like fairyland here in Philadelphia. It's like Bush doesn't exist.)
One person said, "Wow, you must live close by." I pointed across the street at my house and he laughed. A woman complimented me on my pink robe. :)

Do they sell those for grownups? I would also like to have those sneakers that light up when you take a step.
