I voted this morning.
We have touch screen voting. I wore my Biden gear to the voting place and walked into the booth, the curtain closed and I stood there just enjoying seeing Joe"s name and touched the X next to his name and it lit up; I suddenly felt very sad. I stood there and remembered him asking us to vote for one of the remaining candidates.

I thought, " if I am going to be part of history, maybe I should give the woman a chance. Men have been running this country long enough,let's give a woman a chance" So with heavy heart and mind, I changed my vote to Hillary. I watched her town hall across the country last night , and out of the debate and interview setting, I saw her in a little different light. She seemed a lot more sincere and genuine than I had perceived her to be . I think I can accept either Democrat, but I still feel like I am settling.

I hope who ever wins, that Joe will be offered a high position in the cabinet and that he accepts. :dem:

1. Awww, I bet it was sad seeing his name light up. What a crazy primary -
there are SO MANY of us who feel like we're just settling.

I can hardly wait to see the results tonight -- !

2. I know murbley!
If anyone would have told me months ago that I would end up voting for Hillary - I would have told them
to have their head examined.

But listening to her speeches, and watching her in that one debate where her and Obama were going back and forth, I found myself liking her.

I too hope Biden is offered a position regarding to foreign affairs.

3. Hey Murb- I just did the same thing you did. I voted for
Hillary at the last minute remebering that Joe told us not to waste our votes. When I saw his name on the ballot still it made me smile and feel a little sad.
