And check out my snazzy new avatar image.

Turnout seemed light in my Northwest DC precinct -- only two or three other voters were there, so I didn't have to wait in line to vote. I always enjoy voting -- the volunteers working the polls are always very friendly. Brought my 13-month-old son with me, and everyone was making a big fuss over him. One of the election officials asked who he was voting for, and I said he refused to tell me.

I made my selection and turned in my ballot. My son and I both got "I voted" stickers to stick on ourselves.

Out front of the polling place there were two Obama signs and no signs for any other candidates. A young woman was handing out lit for Obama. I asked if she was cold -- she said she was, but she was going inside in a moment to get warm. She said she's gonna be there all by herself until 3, and then after a couple hours off she was coming back in the late afternoon to stand there some more.

No, I'm not going to tell you all who I voted for. But I will say that I would have gladly voted for both of the frontrunners if I could. I like them both a lot, and I find most of the arguments against them here on DU to be thoroughly unpersuasive.

Feels good to vote in a contested primary. I'm enjoying the primary season a lot. As I've said before: It's finally fun to be a liberal political junkie again!
