 Obama casts absentee vote for mid-term polls
2010-10-28
[Geo TV] U.S. President Barack B.O. Obama on Tuesday cast his absentee vote for mid-term election in his home state Illinois, according to the White House.

White House Spokesman Minister of Information Robert Washington Bob Gibbs said during a regular briefing that Obama cast his absentee vote in the West Wing. Responding to a question about who Obama voted for, Gibbs said that's "a private decision."

Gibbs then told news hounds that "I can assure you, I know who he voted for governor and Senate in Illinois -- the two Democratic candidates who I believe will win."

The mid-term election is scheduled to take place next Tuesday, but advance voting has already begun. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 37 seats in the Senate and 37 governorships are up for grabs.

#5  Curiously, "PRESENT" wasn't a ballot choice.
