emandink...links from around my f-list and other haunts:
Given all of the crap people are raining on their political opponents these days, this story is almost tear-worthy. In sum - a man planning to vote for McCain lent his jacket to a trio of eldery Jewish women refused entry to an Ohio polling place because of their pro-Obama t-shirts so that they could go in and vote.
Surely I'm not the only person on the planet thinking "gee, they couldn't see this one coming?" about Palin going rogue. I have to admit it's sort of nice to see her actually standing up for herself, even if I disagree with pretty much everything out of her mouth.
Most of y'all have probably seen this already, but Biden pretty much proved his worth in the following interview:
Finally, was I the only one who somehow missed the memo about political t-shirts/buttons/etc. being the subject of a statewide polling place ban in Virginia? I knew that overy campaigining was a no no, but I was not aware until a few minutes ago that failing to take the Obama button off of my purse strap could get me bounced.

Date: 2008-10-28 03:43 am (UTC)as for buttons on purse straps, i knew that one- they always checked at the entrance in champaign, and here they check at the door to the room where we vote. the place i had to call the voting commission or whatever on because they had people filling out ballots on the floor. ugh. i am not looking forward to voting on the 4th.
