So I stopped by the polling place at the York Art Association and ran into Linda Hudson.

Linda, a retired teacher from Dallastown, is an old friend. Her mother, Agnes, was a good friend of my wife's. We caught up and she offered doughnuts. While I was talking to Linda, Edward Guyer came in and asked, "Where's Hillary?"

He said he thought she'd be there handing out pamphlets or serving coffee or whatnot. Guyer, an 81-year-old retired sales and marketing guy, said it wouldn't have made any difference. He voted for Obama.

"Basically, the issue is change," he said. "Everything is so depressed economically and the war and everything. I hope we can pull out of it all right."
