Time to breathe

When I voted yesterday, I was standing three places behind an older individual who was carrying an oxygen tank. After some many people here had voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary in April and living in a place where the black population is 0.08 percent, I thought that Barack Obama would have a tough time here.

Anyway, back to the oxygen tank guy. He had trouble navigating between two electronic voting stations because of all the wires tangling around the tank. The young voting poll worker tried to show him how to use the machine. Growing frustrated with just getting to the booth, he cried, “Where do I just select Democrat?” Very unexpected.
