Well, today is the day. A quick look at the Electoral College Projections tells me that the race, as of late yesterday, is quite possibly the tightest it has been all year. The L.A. Times’ projection shows that there are many states with less than 10% separating the challengers, and if one were to cede the states based on percentage majority, it would come down to a dead heat between Bush and Kerry, with Hawaii as the deciding state (it is completely even according to their polls). The other three projections in that post also reflect the airtight status of this race.

Last night we received a call from Danny Glover, Ret. General Wesley Clark and Mitch McConnell (we were eating dinner, of course). In the last week we have received no less than 30 pieces of political mail, a couple of doorknob hangers, and at least a dozen messages on the answering machine. But after today, I’ll miss Danny’s calls. Yeah, I called him Danny. When dude calls my house 4 times, I think I reserve the right to call him by his first name, you know.

Tonight we are having some election day festivities (read: watching Fox News and cackling) and I’ll be making some White Turkey Chili. We have also prepared living arrangements in Canada, just in case :)

No, not really. In many ways, I’ll be sad to see “the Quadrennial Classic” go. I’m excited about this race — not so much because I’m hyped about Kerry, but I’m hyped that the rest of the U-S-of-A has been whipped into giving a flying foo about the state of the government. I think we might have a electorate-turnout pot tonight. I’m betting on 70%!

Anyway, if you haven’t voted, get out now. If you choose not to vote, well then the hell with ya.
