This was the first election that I have participated in since turning eighteen, and it doesn't seem to have mattered. Living in a state where 62% of the population voted for Bush is depressing, but I am going to take solace in the fact that I live in one of two counties that the majority voted Democratic.

I took this photo when John Edwards came back through town, it was peculiar to see one of these signs on the floor. Now it just seems appropriate, a sign of defeat.

I've submitted this to lensday for the "neon dreams", as mine have just been just been dashed.
