Just wanted to be first, now that we've finally seen some competition in this election.
Ride it out. Ride it out.
If you're still feeling anxious, why not check to make sure friends and family are registered to vote and know where their polling places are (as easy as an FYI text message or Facebook post). Or volunteer to register some voters. Lots of state deadlines are TODAY!
State-by-state registration information here:

(2,391 posts)Yes, the nattering nabobs of negativity are flailing. Fine by me. More people flocking to the polls.
I like your ideas about GOTV.

(2,391 posts)One of them has it in his sig line exactly like this: "See you all in Galt's gulch."
There's a boatload of stuff on the character, John Galt.
And lots of articles about Estonia.
Now I need to wash my eyes with bleach. Freepertrash. Blech.

(43,049 posts)makes you an illegal alien up there if you stay too long. And the US border patrol may not let you out without the proper papers-- just like Cuba.
I have a short list of requirements-- able to live on my Social Security check, a decent cuisine, English spoken, and hot women who like old fat guys.
Spain and Greece may fit the bill when housing prices drop some more, and I hear you can get cheap digs in Sweden. (Three outta four ain't that bad...)
