I am in Flagstaff, Arizona and it is 9:02 am. I am getting my documentation ready to vote.  I am so excited since this is the first time I am going to vote.  It is kind of cold but I feel really warm inside.  My vote can actually make a difference.  I am in a swing state. This is kind of ironic since Arizona tends to be strictly Republican and since McCain is from Arizona. We will see how the election here turns out but I know who I am voting for.  Wish me luck- I am going to vote!

I got my "I VOTED" sticker and I'm wearing it loud and proud. I finally voted!  It was so fun. I am keeping track of public opinion data on who is going to win. The Spiral of Silence Theory by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann states that people will keep silent if public opinion does not match their personal opinion and that voting is a type of speaking.  So… my interpretation of this is that if people believe Obama will win they will vote for him even if they do not agree with him.
