Celebrating Diversity
The ballot box at Slate (“a daily magazine on the Web…owned by The Washington Post Company”):
Barack Obama: 55
John McCain: 1
Bob Barr: 1
Not McCain: 1
Noncitizen, can't vote: 4
The respondents gave a little background to their vote. A couple of my favorites:
“Ellen Tarlin, Copy Editor: Obama
“I cannot think of one reason not to vote for Barack Obama:…; he's anti-war; he wants to get out of Iraq and finish the job in Afghanistan;…”
“Emily Yoffe, "Dear Prudence" Columnist: Obama“Please, please, Barack, don't become another Jimmy Carter.”
