[AspenRose]

10. +1 Obama in Alexandria VA

The lady in front of me and the firefighter behind me were Obama as well. Some guy from McCain's campaign was handing out sample ballots outside the polls. He walked right past the young lady and me to give a "sample ballot" to the firefighter behind me. He said "oh this is McCain" and balled it up and threw it away :rofl:

I'm a woman of color so I know why he didn't offer me one. The young lady in front of me said, "hey, but I'm white and he didn't offer me one..." I said "oh, but you look like a college student....AND you're a woman."

The firefighter said "I get that all the time. And I'm a vet to boot. They assume because I'm a white guy who is a vet that I'm going to vote McCain."

:rofl:

My wait from start to finish took about an hour. Very well organized. Folks from Protect My Vote were there. :bounce:
