Obamarama

February 5, 2008

I voted for Obama today. (And I’m in the majority of my young-feminist demographic, according to the poll on Feministing today).

I was accompanied by the Intrepid Young Journalist, but separated from him at the polls, as our last names fall in different halves of the alphabet.

The IYJ’s polling booth was temporarily broken, and was being fixed by an elections volunteer in a motorized wheelchair so large it couldn’t fit into the booth. I watched his several attempts to enter (as various other volunteers stood and sat around, not terribly busy), assuming he was actually trying to vote, and thinking that it was kind of sad that the booth couldn’t accommodate him very well. Only afterwards did the IYJ tell me the man in the wheelchair was in fact the lever-repairperson.

Would you like to meet the Intrepid Young Journalist and hear his intrepidly-journalistic analysis of Super Tuesday?
