Oops - St. Joseph, MISSOURI.
I voted this morning at a local school. I live in a Democratic district, and strong Democratic County, in rural Indiana.
Standing behind me was a father and his 10 year old son.
The boy asked his father: “Do you know who you are voting for?”
The father replied, “I have some things figured out but not sure on others.” (An undecided voter)
The boy said, “Mom told me who she was voting for. She told me who you were voting for, too.”
The father replied, “Well, something real important that you need to learn is that people will TELL you they are voting one way, but that’s not what they do when they get into the voting booth. When you get in the booth, it’s just you, and you must make the best decision that you can. This is not just a piece of paper, and it’s not to be taken lightly.”
I thought that was a wonderful lesson, and it indicates that perhaps even spouses are not being up front with each other about their votes this year. If they aren’t telling their spouse, they aren’t telling the pollsters.
Oh, and most importantly, I VOTED FOR JOHN & SARAH!
