All the polls are done, all the campaigning is about over, all the mudslinging is finished, the yelling is all but completed.
Tomorrow, we begin a process that denizens of other nations either do not understand, despise, or envy. We get to particpate directly in the election of those who will lead us as a nation and as a community. Those who admire our process look at it with a measure of hope. Those who hate the process and what it represents would insist that it is the death of us all.
This year's election promises to be among the closest in history. And if the outcome tomorrow is as close as the polls suggest, we may not have an answer to who has won right away.
There are literally thousands of lawyers prepared to file suit as soon as Wednesday morning to challenge whatever the outcome is.
And of course, I'll be here with my two cents as the process continues, whatever the outcome.
I've made no secret of who I'll be supporting tomorrow and why.
It doesn't matter who you support tomorrow; no matter who you do not support. What does matter is that you exercise your right; your responsibility to go out and vote.
It all comes down to you, standing by yourself, in the booth with your decisions. Consider and decide well. And then make your voice -- and your vote -- heard.
WOW!
I loved it!
Got my alarm set for 5:00 am local, to be ready for the polls at 6:00 am.
Pray for President Bush!
Kerry espouses the spirit of "true Satanism". This from Mr. Satanism himself. I'm not at all skeptical.
That's right. It's something like only 12 people voting.
Its the foreplay I enjoy...punching chads as obligatory as it is...is anti climactic...I love the rough and tumble enviornemnt of raw politics...in your face down and dirty mean spirited cut throat politics...can't get enough...
I am going to be 'Jonse-ing'
They have voted, but no report yet.
...and if you have no idea what you're voting for, please don't vote!
That part struck me too.
We'll take a tie in NH!
What, they have a "vote-at-midnight" tradition?
Firmly believing that God, in his wisdom, has already granted your requests.
Yup. It's a tiny little town in far northern NH. It's the only claim to fame. Believe me, I've been there. And there is no there, where Dixville Notch is. :)
I'm trying to get comfirmation on the vote.
Also remember to vote for those other races. The President can't do his job if he doesn't have good senators and congressmen, the same holds true for local races all the way to judges and city council.
You should put a picture of that old battleaxe Helen Thomas somewhere in that Kerry pic!
Okay - I've got to know. What exactly does this mean?
Amen.
