Ah, Election Day...
...nothing like it. Lovely late summer day, people holding signs, everyone feeling virtuous. Old people in Crown Victorias voting for Tom Reilly, young people in Toyotas voting for Deval Patrick -- and no one, that we saw, voting for Chris Gabrielli.
In our district, where everyone was in shorts, we felt almost able to count the votes by counting the backpacks and sandals vs the dark socks and brown shoes.
We voted early, and it looked nearly all Reilly. You know: vote, hit McDonald's for the senior coffee discount, then off to Market Basket for the triple coupon rebate.
Presumably the Patrick voters will descend later, after they've picked Jacob and Amelia up from private pre-school.
Yes, Election Day -- where all our treasured stereotypes ring true.
Thank dog.

Hilarious commentary....
I sort of feel sorry for Gabrieli. I overheard a personalized answering machine message from the Gabrieli campaign on my mother's antiquated machine (she's a registered Democrat) that seemed reasonable enough. And I drove by the IBEW location in Dorchester that seemed heavily supportive of Reilly. What happened with Dems? I guess the Boston Globe can be thanked/blamed for propelling a far left candidate into the pole position. As a centrist, now for me the choice is simple, Kerry Healey for Guv in 06'.

That would be a pretty strange choice for a centrist. Unless centrists want their property taxes to go through the roof.
