US voters went to the polls yesterday & chose Barack Obama as their new President elect. The long lines seen throughout the day didn't dissuade voters. In fact, the wait was fine with Jonathan Carter, the 56-year-old operator of a window-cleaning business. He noted the 300 voters ahead of him at Central Bucks High School South in Warrington and resigned himself to being late for work. "Think how hard it was to vote 100 years ago," Carter said philosophically. He labeled this election "incredibly historic," noting that a black man was on the presidential ballot 40 years after King was shot advocating racial equality. "I think that's amazing," he said, though it wasn't remarkable enough to preclude him from voting for Sen. John McCain. Obama's talk of "spreading the wealth" turned Carter off.
Another window cleaner gave his view in Fullton Mall, New York..
