The always modest P. Diddy told the Associated Press he thinks his New York City vote for the Obama/Biden ticket secured the presidency. Well, you know New York is a finnicky swing state—throw a rock hard enough and you’ll hit dozens of reactionary Republicans (inert extreme sarcasm here). Anyway, this is what he blabbered to reporters when exiting the midtown location where he voted.

I felt like my vote was the vote that put him into office. It was down to one vote, and that was going to be my vote. And that may not be true, but that’s how much power it felt like I had.
Might not be true? Aww, don’t low ball yourself, Diddy! Once the supreme court gets wind of the news you voted for Obama I’m sure they’ll close the polls and send everyone home. Do us all a favor next time, though. Release your election confirming your vote beforehand and save us all the adrenaline rushing hoopla.
He also compared himself to Martin Luther King Jr.
I’m not trying to be dramatic (ed note: too late!), but I just felt like, Martin Luther King, and I felt the whole civil rights movement, I felt all that energy, and I felt my kids..it was all there at one time. It was a joyous moment.”
Let’s not get too politics-happy, Diddy. I can see him getting a wild, election seed planted in his ego and running in 2012. Diddy 2012. That would be the ticket.
