I've just gotta say it (I know, many of you had hoped I'd run out of steam by now) -- I am SO INCREDIBLY EXCITED FOR TOMORROW!!!! I just watched Michelle Obama speak from Las Vegas and she gives me goosebumps and a feeling about our country that I haven't had for much too long now. As I watch her speak, I just can't imagine being one of those folks who believes that her husband is a "terrorist". Because she is so incredibly sincere you'd certainly have to ask yourself if she is the kind of woman who would have married a terrorist. Those are my final comments until I have a reason to dance. I promise:banana:

I would say I'm cautiously optimistic - but there is definitely excitement bubbling under the surface. Even with all the polls looking good for my candidate, I don't want to take anything for granted. And almost as much as I'm excited, I'm happy that the WHOLE THING WILL FINALLY BE OVER. I'm looking forward to taking my daughter to the polls tomorrow - but I hope the lines aren't TOO long or she'll be a basket case!
I will be so glad when it's over. I'll be pulling an all-nighter poll watching our governor's race and shooting off political memos. I keep on telling TPTB that the race is unlikely to be decided for several days...but...
Our county is all "vote by mail" so there is a bit of let down that I can't go to the polls. Still this is an exciting and historical time and I am so glad to be a part of it.
I am so flipping excited I can hardly stand it! I'm also completely freaked out nervous. My roommate tries to calm me down every day but it doesn't work - I won't believe anything until I see it :arrow:
I'll be glad when it's over, but I have to admit I like my little routine right now. Every afternoon I hang out with Kieth Oberman and Rachel Maddow (who my roommate insists I have a lady crush on) and watch my admittedly liberal media....
I just really really really wish that I didn't have to work tomorrow. I think voting day should be a national holiday, I really do. Allow everyone to vote (who knows how long lines could be at some locations tomorrow!) without having to miss too much work and THEN let me sit in front of the TV all day long watching coverage.
I mean SERIOUSLY, how am I supposed to work on a day like tomorrow????

Although I support McCain and Palin and have been sure that they never had much of a chance from early on, I am still excited as well. I am a firm believer in the founding father intent regarding the right of citizens to keep and bear arms and Obama has a well documented history against gun ownership of any kind. So Wednesday when all is said and done I'll be able to go pick up another firearm or two with the blessings of my dear wife as we are both like minded when it comes to the intent of the constitution. So yep. I am excited too.
I'm not excited in the least, nope...I always spend this much time on a forum :D (seriously its been easy for me seeing that I injured myself pretty good in that unexpected snow we got here last week. Initially we thought my arm was broken, but my back's been worse. So it was easier to stay put and be oh so bored ;) out here with you all!!)
I'm so excited! I think it's even more exciting for me than ever before being in one of... if not "the" swing state. I feel like there's more pressure on us/me. It's really an odd feeling of responsibility in that way.
:cheer: Here's to the passion remaining 2 months from now, 2 years from now and again in 4 years :woohoo:

You all must have VERY well behaved children. I wouldn't take TJ to stand in a long line for anything. Hubby and I will tag team, he'll vote while TJ and I go to tumbling class and then I'll vote. We are simply canceling out our neighbors' (and very good friends BTW) votes, but gotta do what you gotta do. McCain should take Texas as we are a conservative bunch, but only a coma would keep me from voting eventhough I feel confident that my guy will win in my state. I also ONLY vote on election day.

I love, love, love Michelle Obama! After her speech at the DNC the Tom Joyner Show replayed it but put Alicia Keys song, SuperWoman, playing in the background. I already cried at the speech the first time but when it was replayed with that song I lost it again. I took my E with me this morning but there were no lines. I had to remind her we can't say who we were voting for. She's pretty excited and has discussions with her peers at daycare. She was very good. She was also excited they gave her an "I voted today" sticker. Now all I have to do is wait. I'm not very good at that. Going to volunteer today so maybe the day will go by fast. GO OBAMA!:banana:
