I won't get into my personal beliefs and details about who I think should (and will) win, but, let me say this about the election results:
WOW
Regardless of who wins this election, and I believe it could still go either way (the miracle of statistics and the Electoral College)...think of the history we are living to see...the closest race since 1960, possibly one of the closest races EVER (though I believe I heard Thomas Jefferson won by one vote way back when...). This is definitely something you can tell your children and grandchildren about. It reminds me of the Dewey/Truman race and the Cleveland paper goofing.
I still hope things turn out the way I voted, but, if not, wow, what a ride. Even with the media's trying to call the race early by goofing on Florida, twice thus far (watch this to become a true issue in the NEXT election - calling states two minutes after polls start to close in the state), it was a night to remember. New Mexico, snow and all, might still turn a surprise, as may Oregon.
My vote? Again, I won't go into specifics (though many of you know) - I look at voting this way: the ballots we cast our votes on are not pure white paper. They are stained with the blood of those who gave their lives in defense of our country and what our country stands for, to allow us to have the freedom to vote. However any of you voted, doesn't really matter as much as the fact that YOU DID VOTE, and validated their sacrifice in defense of the Constitution and the people.
Now, since I didn't get ANY sleep last night as a result of work and trying to watch election results....good night.
