2. Photographing someone while they're voting?

Um, no.

But good on Michelle for advocating early voting.

3. I vote early too (in California by mail)

and have since 2004.

it's a great idea.

what i like most about voting by mail is that i can slowly complete the ballot, filling it in as I look at Smart Voter and other sources of info online. i can do a lot of research about ballot initiatives.

then i mail it.

and when the party is working on their get out the vote...their lists show that i've already voted and they don't have to spend the effort to get me to turn out and can work on others who have not.

5. I love her

No matter how frustrated I am with her husband, I love her warmth and friendliness.

I'm remembering the quote I read last year about the President always noticing when she buys new clothes, and her telling him, "Get out of my closet. Go solve world hunger or something."

:rofl:
