Seriously, can there be ANY MORE DRAMA in this election?
Obama’s Grandma died the day before the election. It has now gone over the top. I mean, the first black nominee, and the second female VP nominee, and then the Hillary floor nomination with the “Love Train” accompaniment, and the pregnancy and the pregnancy plots about Palin having her daughter’s baby. It can’t get more soap-operatic unless I wake up tomorrow and hear that Obama and Palin are long-lost half siblings.
A little bit of me thinks they’ve been making all this up just to keep our attention. Because this is like a bad movie. It’s like CNN wants ratings or something. Politics are supposed to be boring.
But then I realized that yes, yes it can get more dramatic. I saw Bill Hemmer on Fox saying how it would all be over in just a day. I realized no, Bill “Pluto” Hemmer, it could be contested in all our battleground states.
So here’s my plan, I get out there and vote at 6 a.m. (no early voting here in Missouri) then I go home and sleep so that I can stay up all night. You know it will be an all-nighter. It has to be, it would be an anti-climax if there was a peaceful transfer of power.
(Oh, and rioting. I forgot the rioting.)

I agree! Early vote, nappy-nappy and then we’re in for a very long haul. I mean, please.
Erin G – Seriously, I need to get to bed. Why are you commenting at this hour!
I was in line bu 5:20 and walking out by 6:35. There were hundreds of people behind me. So glad I got up and went early. It is going to be a long night. My Dad and I usually stay up most of the night together watching the news on election night arguing and debating all things political. By the end of the night we are beat but have managed to solve all the worlds problems…but that might be the wine talking. No nap for me though…off to work I go.
I so hope it’s decided tonight. I just have a feeling it’ll be contested and drug out for a month. Le sigh.
I voted early, then forgot to come home and go back to bed!! aarrggghhh……….I guess it’s not too late for a nap NOW. I’m already exhausted by the speculation on MSNBC, CNN, etc. Also exhausted by the thought of it being drug out for ages, but fear it’s such a possibility.
I also showed up before the polls opened this morning and there was already a line, but it wasn’t too bad: I was back home an hour and 15 minutes later. Unfortunately, I’m at work now, so no nap for me. I will be watching this evening, but I’m hoping for a blowout win so I can get to bed at a decent time. 🙂
I believe we have the same polling place based on the pictures (Jesus beam church?). I walked in at 4:18 and out at 4:30.
Catherine the Red – I would have had a nap but your phone call woke me up. ;-)Shania – Mais certainment.Kristie – All those 49/50 and 50/49 states? I see recounts.KC – Doesn’t look like a blowout yetCaroline – Nope, but I was at the Jesus Batsignal church once – a prime example of Baptist Poor Planning Architecture. Step up. step down, half flight of steps, step down.
All that nappin’ for nuthin’!
Next time you’re running low on blog fodder, the Jesus Batsignal would make entertaining fare.
Judith – I know. In bed at 11:00.Caroline – Huh – I was sure I had done that. It would appear not.
