First of all, a big Thanx to all the Early Voters who waited in long lines to cast their vote! Thanks to all of you, my family and I we're in and out of our polling precinct in less than 5 minutes.  But in the matter of my thinking I was going to get 3 votes,  I think I got SCREWED!  I thought it was a done deal.  We (my wife, her mother, and myself)  went over and over the sample ballot I had filled out.  Nothing to it I thought.  But after entering our precinct this morning,  things went down hill for me!   First off,  Mom forgot her filled out sample ballot!  Just after signing in, Mom exclaimed "I don't have it,  Who do I vote for again?"  Oh No I thought to myself.                                                   Now, unlike some guys, I love my mother-in-law.  She gets all the respect and dignity she deserves at her age(75).   She is more forgetfull now than she used to be,  but that's just one of the reasons my wife and I care for her now.    So, without blurting out names in the polling place,  I told her to think of her forgotten sample ballot as NY Yankee Stats.   Mom may not remember alot of things now, but being an avid Yankee fan, she can remember team and player stats from back to before I was born up to today.    The only problem with that is she may have written in Derrk Jeter or Joe Dimaggio's name for President(and mabey everything else).                                    That's Ok though, I still had my trusty, loving wife to count on!  Now my wife grew up in politics.  Her Father, who has since passed, was an attache' to various US Ambassadors in the 1950's & 60's.   In fact, my wife was born in Israel,  and lived their, Africa, and Switzerland all before she was 12 years old!  That's probebly why she dosen't take her politics too serriously now,  and lets me do the picking!     After leaving the polls though,  I asked her how she did.   With her sense of humor that made me marry her,  she gave me a 'wink',  and asked me if I realized that one of the other Presidential Candidates had a VP selection of John Wayne something!   Now we've been married a long time, and I know what that wink means,  so all I could do was stammer alittle and say " NO YOU DIDN'T!!"    She wouldn't say for sure,  which is her right, dammitt!                                                             The only one I know for sure who got all 3 of our votes was John Mullarkey!    I spent alot of time last night trying to drill that one into their heads!    No,  I don't love him.  I think he'll make as good of a County Commissioner as the others.  But come on,  his last name's MULLARKEY!!!!!  If I can't get behind a candidate with a last name like that,  then I'm gonna quite writing!!                                          Anyway,  Bless us all,  whoever the next President my be,  and bless him also!      And BLESS THIS COUNTRY!!!   Which gives a right for folks like Moms,  my wife, and me the PRIVILEGE TO VOTE!!!
