Today's assignment: Vote!

After two years of anticipation, endless campaign messages and hilarious SNL skits, the day has finally come for us average guys and gals to make a decision. Even though I'd been warned there would be lines, I was pretty shocked to find a rather long one at my polling place at 7:15 this morning. I've been voting at the Merrill Auditorium rehearsal hall for the past five years, and today was the first time I haven't just waltzed right in and filled out my ballot.

To be honest, it was pretty exciting to see so many people participating in the electoral process.

If you haven't been to your polling place yet, here's a little peek at how the top of the ticket race looks on the ballot. Should you need info on where or when to vote, check out the Portland Press Herald's election resource page. The page also offers a candidate guide and details about the citizen initiative questions on this year's ballots.

Change is definitely in the air today, and you can be part of it. All you need to do is get yourself to the polls and vote.

We're making history today, Avery! Not that I've lived through a ton of elections, but this one is by far the most exciting. You can see it in people's faces on the street!

I stood in line this morning for over an hour and had to leave to get to work! Crazy--I'm heading back over later this evening. Thanks for the ballot peek!
