And now we wait…

Time to bite fingernails.

I hope the friend who says she will eat a Milk Bone at the dog park on Friday if Romney wins won’t have to!

On a more serious note:  The arguments I presented in my previous two posts about the election were the logical, rational arguments.  On the other hand, I have some major emotional reasons to vote the way I did.  Some of them include the fact that I have a uterus, and my daughter has a uterus.  Some of them include the fact that I have (and have had) some family members who are gay, and I want them to be able to have the same marital rights as I do.  One is that I have become fed up with the extremism of today’s Republicans; the very notion that Obama is a socialist just boggles my mind.  I cannot imagine a world where skin color is a reason to vote against Obama (check out the early tweets on #VoteWhite, sigh).  And more… 

I voted straight Democratic today (the first time I have ever done so), and I deliberately didn’t vote for Republicans who were running unopposed.

We shall see.

    You can’t tell me there weren’t some krazy liberatarians who were running against the “unopposed” Republicans you could’ve have voted for? I picked them or the Green party, to send a message.

    Oh, Johnny…I wish! Nope, these folks were running totally unopposed. Just the one name after the office.
