I am going to be sad when the election is over tomorrow

Not because President Obama isn't going to win either. He is going to win by plenty.

I love politics. Especially presidential politics. I thrive on it. I am going to miss it real bad. Think it is in my blood.

Anyone else?

and a fascinating four years of moving forward, hoping for a quasi mandate and some relenting from the enemy of course!

I'd rather engage in community politics where something actually can get done.

I'm at my worst in some ways when I'm wired into
politics. It brings out the vilest feelings toward "the
others." I get intolerant. In 2008 I completely unplugged
almost immediately after Obama won. I suspect I'll do the
same this time. It's fun but gets toxic.

When President Obama wins we are going to have a really exciting four
years..The most progressive we have had in decades,I think! He has
the groundwork in place for his second term..the people who oppose him
want to be re-elected and he is ready to hold their feet to the fire!

weekends. I need to depress from it all. I tuned in to the movie channels. I actually watch the Hallmark channel. They started christmas movies already. It's getting me in the mood and I feel happy. Today my 6 yr old granddaughter was over and we talked about the menu for thanksgiving. She helps me. I love it.

that I've been able to vote in. So far my choice has won one time. Based on the polls, my choice will win again tomorrow, which will give me a success rate of 50%. If not, then my choices would have lost 75% of the time since I've been voting.

So no, I don't like presidential elections because they've brought me a lot of pain, frustration with my fellow Americans, and disappointment (with the exception of 2008).

But I will be glad for a break after tomorrow. I just pray there is no monkey business and we have a fairly early night.
