Well, to be totally honest, I scheduled these two weeks in Hawaii because I remember October of 2008 - it was four weeks of a living hell. So six months ago, I told the wife that we ought to get to Hawaii for a couple of weeks to take our minds off of the election. I figured by now, Obama would be up 10 points in the polls and that we would need to get away.
Not that I ever thought that Obama would actually get re-elected, but I figured the MSM would have him up in the polls so as to discourage us normal people. I figured that the race would close and go Romney's way in the final 10 days and we'd be home for that as our plane lands back in Boston on October 27.
Now I'm kind of wishing we never booked that trip because I am having fun now that Romney is already moving ahead and gaining momentum. But that's OK, Hawaii is not going to bum me out that much. And I will have Wi-Fi in my hotel so that I can tune into the Free Republic whenever I am drying off from a swim at the beach.
So tomorrow night I get home from work and take off my socks and shoes for 17 days. I will still have a very good suntan on November 6th, when Obama goes down to massive defeat.
