Cutest Voters Ever?
Katherine Dunbar made maximum use of her cramped Precinct 25 voting booth when she cast her ballot this afternoon. Dunbar was joined at her polling place, the Goodwill Baptist Church at 1862 Kalorama Road NW, by two valued consultants: Perry Levitch (age "twelve-and-three-days") and Esme Levitch ("Well, I'll be nine in February") in her Precinct 25 voting booth. But three wasn't a crowd for Dunbar; "We all held the pencil," says says. The trio cast their shared ballot "for Obama and for a lot of other people whose names I can't remember," explains Perry, who wore her "I Voted" sticker proudly on her forehead. Katherine and Esme opted for a subtler position on the lapel.

Carl Clark, Obama merch hawker. Clark says he's been selling Obama buttons, which he collects from a flea market on Florida Ave. & 4th St. NW, for about a month. (Designs range from Obama/MLK "Legacy of Hope" to "Obama: First Black President.") Clark says that if Obama wins, he'll keep picking up some more designs to sell off before the inauguration. If McCain wins, "well, I guess it's all over for me," he says.
