My Brother-in-Law's First Election

[saavedra77]

My brother-in-law Gil, a fiftysomething retired cop from the South Jersey suburbs, has never voted in a presidential election, before. Never. Not once.

He voted today. Not only that, but he's spending the day making get-out-the-vote calls for Obama.

I don't think that we're (metaphorically) in Thomas Frank's Kansas, anymore.

Thank you, Tony's brother-in-law, and everyone else who made it happen.
