2008 Letter from Argentina
posted by on November 3 at 21:41 PM
Hey Eli-I´m a Whatcom County voter living and studying abroad in Argentina. I sent off my absentee ballot a few weeks ago… I was so excited to vote, and to vote for Obama! It amazes (and inspires) me how much people here pay attention to US politics. Every cabbie I get a ride from asks me about Obama, and all the cheesy night time talk shows say something or other about him - the argentines flippin´ love him! Me too.
Tomorrow we´re having an election party! Have fun in the USofA, please. So excited…

Portenobama (with n as an 'enye')
Argentines are frightfull informed. Never enjoyed the 5 am drunk inquisitons about my opinion of Sam Alito on the way home from the club. Always just said I was from Toronto to avoid the whole thing. Much love for the country though.
Moving there wednesday. Glad I'm bringing my Obama shirt.
Eli, these leaders f'ing rock. what a way to spend time waiting for results, reading real life election stories from all around the world.
My story is relatively boring. I filled out my ballot at home and mailed it in. I felt my usual rush from doing my civic duty. And I also felt a flash of pain from the Bush years. All 8 of them. really. sucked. Anyways, go Obama!!!
