Kurt Fenno doesn't remember the last time he set foot near a polling place, but he knows it has been at least 30 years.
Fenno, 56, a self-employed painter, hadn't felt the urge to vote in a long time, but he had become disenchanted with the war in Iraq, so he left his Pembroke Pines home early in the morning Tuesday and waited in line to cast his vote for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.
"He won me out," Fenno. "He's the one I like, because he's against the war."
Fenno saw the amount of young people who registered this year and decided to re-register. He was happy about the outpouring of support younger voters showed for the Illinois Senator.
"I feel good about it," he said, "I feel all the kids registered Democrat."
Fenno said he's confident Senator Obama will win the presidency, so much so that he has put out a few bets.
"I have a couple of bets he'll win by a landslide, not for money, just friendly bets," he said.
