FoxNews is covering it live. The main theme at this point is: What's taking him so long? It's been at least 5 minutes. Predictable joke: Is he reconsidering voting for himself? Plausible theory: He's encountering propositions he hadn't read before. (Don't you hate when that happens?) Also: Maybe he has trouble going through with it while being watched. (Was that an attempt at a urinal joke?!) Ah, now we know! They were timing his conclusion with the arrival of Joe Biden. We now see Biden, on the split screen, arriving at the polls in Delaware with his elderly mother. The elderly mother has a snazzy, bright pink jacket.
Obama -- wearing a black suit and an American flag pin -- was accompanied by Michelle -- who dressed in black, a scoop-neck top and narrow pants -- and their 2 little girls -- who wore pink and orange sweatshirts. The older girl, Malia talked constantly to her father as they walked with their paper ballots up to the open-suitcase-on-legs booths. Once at the booths, Malia stuck with Michelle, even when Obama addressed her, seemingly to instruct her about the nature of the ballot. For a while it looked as though Malia was almost shunning her dad, but then the camera pulled back, and we could see the younger girl, Sasha was curled around one leg of Obama's booth, firmly staking out her territory in the dad zone.
It will be fun to watch those adorable girls grow up in the White House... if Obama wins.
