I found out that our polling-place, the kids’ elementary school would be open at 7am, which allowed me to get there before work.  Sort of.  I showed up at 6:55am and go the last parking spot in the place.  I walked inside and was greeted with most people and longest line for any event I’ve ever seen there.  I have been to christmas pagents, and kindergarten graduations and halloween parties there.  But I’ve never seen so many people!  The line stretched out of the cafeteria, through the lobby and down a long hall of classrooms to the end of the building!  On one hand, I was very impressed.  On the other very disappointed.

In the end the line moved well and by 7:25am I was finished and on my way to work. 

I will be really interested to see how things play out tonight, but in truth I’m all election’ed out - I can’t stand any more political ads and get-out-the-vote efforts.  I’m fed up with it.  We live not far from one of the battleground states (New Hampshire) so we’ve been getting a LOT of advertisements but not a lot of phone calls. And this is good - I can always turn off the TV.  So tonight we plan on following the election results on the Comedy Channel - Jon Stewart always puts these things in the right perspective.

gObama!
