Election Day and Night 2008

It's is 12:05 a.m. Have you voted?

Since sleep is hard to achieve on the eve of history, Ron and I have decided to blog, live from our living room and we invite you to join us.

We just got finished watching The Daily Show and The Colbert Report. We admit that there is a clear bias but they sure as shit are funny. Also, both made me cry. The guest on each show made a convincing argument for an Obama win tomorrow but each guest was credible precisely because they were neutral or conservative. Doris Kearns Goodwin is a presidential historian and Andrew Sullivan an apparently staunch conservative with the most convincing argument for why a President Obama would be a win for the American people tomorrow. I hope that every conservative in this country saw that interview (surely not).

We plan to sleep for a while with the aid of prescription medication and alcohol. We'll be back tomorrow between canvassing, winning a soccer game, voting, teaching history class and trying not to have a nervous breakdown. We'll stay awake tomorrow night until the election is called and until the joy subsides.

Exercise your right.
