Did you vote today?
Yes, as disappointing as some areas of the ballot are (can someone please run against Mark Kirk), I did vote. I hope you all take the opportunity to vote. And for this forum's members from Chicago, please vote only once.:)

The cynical phrases "Vote early -- and often" and "Vote early -- and vote often" are variously attributed to three different Chicagoans: Al Capone, the famous gangster; Richard J. Daley (http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/mayors/daley1.html), mayor from 1955 to 1976; and William Hale Thompson (http://www.chipublib.org/004chicago/mayors/thompson.html), mayor from 1915-1923 and 1931-1935. All three were notorious for their corruption and their manipulation of the democratic process. It is most likely that Thompson invented the phrase, and Capone and Daley later repeated it.

I voted early.

I voted early.

Added an appropriate choice for you.

Yes indeed. Since the polling place is only 2 blocks from my house, It would be embarassing not to.
