I don't usually do this

I have a litany of excuses.  I'm in Uganda.  I didn't understand the rules about overseas absentee ballots.  I expected the California primary to take place in March.  The bottom line is this: for the first time since I became eligible to vote, I really, really want to vote; but I can't.

So, if you're able and willing, please do me this one small favor on 5th February: vote for Barack Obama.
