Just Wondering...

1) Did the Obama campaign send out text messages today? You know, "Have you voted yet today?" "If not, why not?" "Hurry up and vote for me before the polls close."

2) Did Obama, Biden, McCain, or Palin have to wait in line like the rest of us to vote? Or did they just get ushered to the front?

Earlier today, Obama and his wife, Michelle, were among the first to vote after polls opened at Chicago’s Beulah Shoesmith Elementary School. They cast paper ballots in side-by-side booths with their two daughters looking on.

The family was ushered inside ahead of a line of their Hyde Park neighbors that wrapped around the block. Fellow voters inside watched in silence and snapped cell-phone pictures, then cheered when he held up his validation slip with a smile and said, “I voted.”

Oh noes! Obama's an elitist. He didn't have to wait in line.

From a Yahoo story on Obama voting in Chicago...

The family was ushered inside ahead of a line of their Hyde Park neighbors that wrapped around the block and cheered upon their arrival.

I would guess the other 3 had a similar experience.

Edit: I see Jugo beat me to it.
