My morning started this way. I am a school bus driver in a small Western Massachusetts town. The elementary kids after pestering me to see who I would vote for (I kept silent) held there own impromptu election and voted for Obama 20-1. When I arrived home after the morning run I was greeted by my four children, whom I home school, with birthday cards, hugs and eagerness to go with the polls with us. Guess the only thing I want for my birthday today.
