A First For Me

Yesterday I went and voted in the Texas Democratic Primary. I have never voted in a primary before. I thought it would be different, with the Republicans and the Democrats kept separate to avoid coming to fisticuffs. I like that word, fisticuffs. You don’t get much call to use the word “fisticuffs” enough in casual conversation. Anyway…. No, it was just like any other election I’ve voted in. Although I don’t know that I’ve ever voted on election day. I try to avoid the crowds and I refuse to travel to where my official precinct voting location is, so I vote early, which allows me to vote at any polling location in Dallas County. I go to the civic center in the town where I grew up. I’m a snob like that. I won’t even go to Downtown Garland to vote. Ick.

Although I did get to proudly state, when asked by the older gentleman manning the table, that I was here to vote in the DEMOCRATIC primary. He was completely unimpressed and just went about the business of printing off whatever documents they print off. But I know inside he was proud of me too.

Today I got a call from a pollster, asking if I were to vote today in the Texas Democratic primary, who would I vote for? I answered Obama. Then she asked me if I was planning to vote on March 4 and I replied that I had already voted. She practically hung up on me. Do you think that was maybe a Clinton campaign worker realizing I was a lost cause to her?
