It is hard to describe the feelings I felt walking out of the polls today, but it wasn't the feeling that it should be. I felt like I should have been feeling proud or empowered to be an American and that I have this wonderful right to vote, but instead, I felt.......... weird......... sad........ Dissapointment? Not sure.
I compare it to someone pretending to hold candy in each fist behind their back and they want you to guess which one it is in. But, you know that neither fist has any candy, and you feel like you have to choose one to play along.

Hermana! Your items look amazing! seriouly I'm excited for you!
Well, one fist may have a stink bomb in it, so let's hope we avoid that one!
I have always voted (except on my mission), and I don't think that I have ever been excited about my choice. I think the nature of politics is such that the very best people stay away.
I am *totally* excited for this election! But I felt the way you do in the last two - sort of let down because I didn't feel inspired by either. I'm glad you voted anyway! And curious...(based on your comment on my blog!)
