First In Line

Last night my cabbie, a Sikh, asked me who I was voting for in the primary. I told him I still had no idea and then rudely asked him, “Are you voting? Are you a citizen?” He said, “Oh, yes! I am citizen one year. Next week, I am FIRST in line.” Maybe it was the beer, but I got a corny patriotic rush for him. He told me that “all the Punjabis” are voting for Obama. It will be fascinating to see how NYC’s massive immigrant population decides to vote.
