A birthday request

November 4 is my birthday. As happens from time to time, it is also Election Day.
At this point, you probably don’t need me to remind you to vote. Like me, many of you have already voted. And given the close elections we have endured over the past 8 years, you don’t need me to remind you that a small number of votes can make a big difference.
I voted for Obama, and I hope you will too. If you want to know why, I’ll point you towards John Scalzi’s endorsement. His reasoning is just about identical to mine, and he put it better than I likely would.
But regardless of whom you vote for, if you can vote in the US, please vote on Election Day. And if you want to help give me a really big present, vote for Barack Obama.

That Obama is too conservative for me. Fortunately in NJ we can vote for the Socialist Party USA, the Socialist Workers Party, or the Socialism and Liberation Party.

Wayne, you should of course vote your conscience.

Well, we don’t get to vote at all in this game ;) But according to The Economist if we could, we’d mostly vote for Obama.
Happy Birthday Steve :)
