even though i didn't vote for obama, i am so emotional thinking about him winning.  can't wait to chill with the crowd tonight in chicago (anyone else checking it out?)

my voting place had no line when i went in an hour ago.
For which third party candidate did you throw your vote away?

Some of my co-workers are going but I declined.  That's just way too many people in one place for my liking.  Especially if McCain wins, I want to be far, far away.

I am going to have post-election depression.
After 4 yrs of whining, bitching and waiting for this day - if the stakes weren't so high - I wouldn't want it to end.
I see what they (the founders...?) were on to about dissent - you need that watchdog mentality (on either side) to ferret out what is going wrong. Now (if we win) the biggest problem will be complacency and exclusion of the other side. I know what I wrote the other day but I really do believe it's important to get some sort of buy in from the opposition on as many issues as possible...I should never legislate while angry. :D
Hey, nice marmot!

all votes are equally "thrown away".  i voted for McKinney/Clemente!!! :)

marty, i - unfortunately - don't think you have to worry about obama, he has been completely middle-of-the-road, getting too much buy-in from the opposition.  it might even be wrong-headed to think that obama considers "them" "the opposition", which is actually a nice way to think of it :)
But I wish the public could, in the midst of its pleasures, see how blatantly it is being spoon-fed, and ask for slightly better dreams.

They really should get an Obama stand-in.  Like that crappy Dennis Quaid move that came out this year.

I wish I could find a picture. Maybe it's just me, but I was amazed.
