NPR: At Least You Know It Won't Be a Shutout

At Least You Know It Won't Be a Shutout

Several of the presidential candidates were able to vote for themselves in today's contests.

New York Sen. Hillary Clinton cast her ballot in the village of Chappaqua. Asked what it felt like to vote for herself, Clinton said, "It was overwhelming. I just stood there for a minute," according to the Los Angeles Times. Clinton said she thought of her 88-year-old mother, born before women could vote.

Barack Obama returned to Chicago to cast his vote. That's also where he'll await the returns tonight. And former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who voted in Belmont, said he had never expected to be able to vote for himself for president. He pronounced it an honor and said it was "very humbling."
