an important distinction

in 2004, i voted against gw bush. sure, technically, the vote was 'for' john kerry, but i didn't care about that part. I was voting against someone with my affirmative vote for something else.

today i voted for something. I voted for Barack Obama because i believe in his message, his plan, his ability, and him.

that's why this is historic for me.

I voted for something for the first time, and not against.

yes we did.
