It's no secret who I'm voting for, if I could stick a bumper sticker to my forehead without looking like a complete idiot- I would. When I went home to visit my family, there were on the same page...our lawn looked like a campaign office for Barack Obama. The truth is, I would rather people have an opinion on SOMETHING rather than nothing.....even if that opinion is different than mine. So whether we're voting the same way or not, EXPRESS IT. For all of you Obama supporters in NYC here's a little guide to like minds and other fun stuff around the city. Now, GO VOTE!
