Jack and I will be cooking up a ribeye and potatoes and nestling into the evil bed at about 4pm to start watching the results.

* putting out some virtual chips and dip and icing down the beer and soda*

We're gonna invite Howdy Doobie to dinner tonight and have Faith
in the American Voters and hope that we won't be forced
to move to Canada n stuff.

Shove over then;)

I remember the last time. W/we'd planned on going to bed at some point - remember, there's a huge time difference between here and there - but as it became clearer and clearer that Obama was going to win (and how!), there was no way W/we were going to miss a single second.

It was exhausting, but absolutely magical.

We're at Antonio's having some lunch while watching a local station. We're not sure what we'll do until we get home:|..

We're both full of anxiety!

I would give just about anything to have you share some space in the biggo bed so we could have a proper watch party piled up around pillows, munchies, and a gabfest!

Miss your face something terrible.

YES!


Every time you hear the phrase "voter suppression", you have to take a swig (of whatever you are drinking!)

I would have taken tomorrow off because I am likely going to be exhausted -- and now maybe hung over -- but it's CAHSEE testing (high school exit exam) here in California. Gotta be here.

I may have to watch CNN. I don't have a TV. I was getting MSNBC illegally online, but the site stopped offering it. Now I get the sound only. I do get to see Rachel every night because she allows her show to be downloaded.

Anyway, I can watch CNN. I think that they will be less paranoid too and mention voter suppression less. That way I will be able to administer the CAHSEE math test tomorrow without falling over.

Im probably going to have to work at home in the morning because we were up until 3am during the last election. I don't see us going to bed before at least Midnight for this one.

Who the heck am I kidding? I won't be able to sleep until they confirm President Obama!

Tonight, I will be returning to work after the polls close - to help count the votes - I'm praying for a miracle in the State of Alabama.
What is really scary is back in Nov. 2003 the Alabama's judicial ethics panel removed (at that time) Chief Justice Roy Moore from office for defying a federal judge's order to move a Ten Commandments monument from the State Supreme Court building. This was a 5,800 pound Stone monument.

His belief is that gays should never be able to adopt children or have children.

ON the other hand we have my boss, Democrat, who has been Judge over our county for 36 years - and in the entire time he has been in office, he has been without a doubt one of the most fiscally responsible leaders in the United States - we have always been in the black and have a large surplus savings.

His opponent was our Sherriff who until last year was a Democrat and decided to jump the fence so he could run against our Judge - His family has more money that fort knox and he had limos picking up people and taking them to the polls to vote -

This man was recently audited and was found to have spent $24,000.00 in renting a jet to be taken and picked up from a football game.

How long will it be before our county has to file bankruptcy if this man gets into office.

I'm really a nervous wreck for so many different reasons on so many different levels -

I'll be leaving in a little while, summoned to my post - I send positive light and energy - please join me in forming a composite of like energery for the People's leaders to come forward in a winning light.

I can't wait for results to start coming in! It seems like there is big turnout for both sides in many states.

Big gender gap in Virginia- women could make the difference for Obama where the conservative Republicans are eliminating abortion clinics there.

African Americans and Latinos seem quite fired up in Florida over the voter suppression.

Labor organizations are out in vans picking up people to vote in Ohio.

People power!

I finally wrapped up office hours for the day and got to vote.
I was so nervous/anxious I couldn't get out of my seat belt.
I had a moment of panic that I wasn't going to be able to vote because I was stuck in my car.
Then I tried again and managed to get out just fine.

Now, the wait... the wait.

I've been hearing lately that this is the last election in which white people will demographically be able to come this close again to dominating a Presidential election. I want to live long enough to see white bigots be a minority in this country.

From the Daily Beast posted at around 4pm today

everyone take a chug -- voter suppression

By mid-morning in Orange County, a critical piece of the "I-4 Corridor" between Tampa and Orlando, voters had waited three and four hours to cast ballots, at precincts they breezed through four years ago, some said. This, despite a phalanx of attorneys from the Lawyers Committee on Civil Rights’s “Election Watch”, who were quickly dispatched to 50 precincts across Orlando to clear up bottlenecks.

David Glicken took the day off from his private practice to help, and arrived at Precinct 217 in the mostly African-American Pine Hills neighborhood, an hour before the polls opened at 7 a.m. He quickly found myriad problems there. No one was directing traffic, he told The Daily Beast, so it took some an hour to find a parking spot. At around 10 a.m., an Orange County Sheriff's patrol car cruised through the crowded parking lot, and appeared to be taking down license plate information—“Intimidation,” Glicken said. And there was no accommodation for people with disabilities — voter Tamara Barua told the Daily Beast she saw three disabled people fighting over a single chair.

That, it turned out, was only the beginning. The line grew quickly and into the hundreds of people, snaking through the narrow hallways and out to&nbsp; Hiawassee Road. When Glicken walked inside to find out what was going on, he learned there were a half dozen polling stations but only two people checking addresses and checking people in. "It's ridiculous," said Tainese Middlebrooks, who waited three hours to vote. "I feel horrible. This took 20 minutes last time." Barua waited three and a half hours to vote, she said, and this was her third time trying. She tried twice to vote early but left to avoid long lines each time.

"I strongly feel this is voter supression," Barua said. "It seems they chose to eliminate resources. Glicken called the county's Supervisor of Elections. A staffer there told Glicken they had as many as two dozen people there who could be sent to crowded polling places, but that the precinct head had to specifically request it, he said. Glicken walked in and asked her to request it, and she refused, he said. So he called Election Watch for
backup.

When I voted today there was a ballot to try to extend the amount of terms a govnor can be in office,Jindal is in his second term and contenue to ruin Louisiana...recently I read in the paper he booted someone out of an appointed office cause they oposed him on something he wanted to do.I want this creep out of office not to have four more years.When Louisiana was a democratic state we did so much better all around.
Then they wanted to take away the right to bear arms...hell no I wont go for that,the constitution say I have that right.If that happened the only ones that would have wepons is the cops and the criminals.

I didn't know this:

President Barack Obama's victory in Paul Ryan's home state of Wisconsin and his easy win in Mitt Romney's base of Massachusetts means the 2012 Republican ticket is the first in four decades in which both members of a major party ticket lost at home.

As The Huffington Post reported in September, the party running mates to lose their own states were Democrats George McGovern of South Dakota and Sargent Shriver of Maryland, who lost to Richard Nixon in 1972.

The dual defeats may not bode well historically for the GOP ticket. President Woodrow Wilson, a former governor of New Jersey, and Vice President Thomas Marshall, a former governor of Indiana, both failed to hold their home states, yet prevailed nationally to win reelection. The year was 1916.

Never before or since has a major party presidential ticket been elected when both candidates lost their home states.

A ballot measure in Florida that would have erased women's right to reproductive "privacy" from the state constitution was defeated on Tuesday by a margin of 56 percent to 44 percent, according to CNN.

The measure, put on the ballot by Republican state legislators, would have empowered the state to enforce abortion restrictions, such as mandatory ultrasound laws, and would have enabled state lawmakers to ban abortion altogether if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

“We commend the voters of Florida for joining what has become a national movement to wholly reject these attacks on reproductive freedom and to demand stronger protections for reproductive rights,” Nancy Northup, president and CEO at the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a statement. “By preserving women’s reproductive rights under the Florida state constitution, women and families will continue to have all options available to them so they can make the best health care decisions for their circumstances."
