Most of my voting history I have voting absentee ballot because I have been in school or not in town when the polls are open to the general public. So, I am very thankful for this option. I remember in 1999 when I was voting for Al Gore while a graduate student in Iowa how some of my classmates said they were only voting for George Bush because they felt they could sit down and have a beer with him more so than Al Gore. I felt that to be an odd reason to vote for Bush but then the more they said that I understood where they were coming from. I wonder how these same people feel today. Will they consider Sen. Obama over Sen. McCain? It would be interesting to know their views now on this.
