Ticketmaster Skills You Can Believe In
I snagged 4 tickets to the Inaugural Parade. There were only 5,000 available.

As a former CAP employee, and leadoff hitter for the Leftfielders, this article makes me happy.
Virginia is for Lovers… of Obama.
Filled out the absentee ballot! I’m going to be doing voter protection as part of the Obama legal team’s efforts all day on Tuesday, so I figured I should drop this ballot off in the mail.
I also made some campaign calls tonight. I was a campaign worker in 2004, so it was fun to get back in the swing of things. However, I was a bit sloppy. On one occasion, I forgot to hang up my cell phone and accidentally left an extremely long message on somebody’s answering machine in Fredericksburg, VA. So, if you live in Fredericksburg and you got that message on your answering machine, let me apologize. Also, please vote.

Politico: The History Argument
A very moving story coming out of early voting in Cincinnati…
[T]hree small, elderly Jewish women… were quite upset as they were being refused admitance to the polling location due to their Obama T-Shirts, hats and buttons. Apparently you cannot wear Obama/McCain gear into polling locations here in Ohio…. They were practically on the verge of tears.
After a minute or two of this a huge man (6’5”, 300 lbs easy) wearing a Dale Earnhardt jacket and Bengal’s baseball cap left the voting line, came up to us and introduced himself as Mike. He told us he had overheard our conversation and asked if the ladies would like to borrow his jacket to put over their t-shirts so they could go in and vote. The ladies quickly agreed. As long as I live I will never forget the image of these 80-plus-year-old Jewish ladies walking into the polling location wearing a huge Dale Earnhardt racing jacket that came over their hands and down to their knees!
Read the whole thing. It gets even better.
Moral of the story— bring some spare plain sweatshirts in case your poll does not allow political apparel.

Amen to all of that, Matt Haughey.
