Election Day Anxiety

I've decided that the reason I'm sick is because I'm so anxious about the election that my body doesn't want to work properly. I've also decided that this truely is an ELECTION FOR HISTORY. I know they say it every single time, but I feel this one in my gut. Sadly my gut is not telling me the outcome of the election, but it is trying to get rid of my lunch. To which I say "you ate it, you'll like it! God Dammit!"

However, if the New Hampshire towns of Dixville Notch and Hart's Location are any indication of what the rest of the country is thinking then Obama is sure to win. However, aside from having the honor of being the first town's in the USA to close their polls and report their counts, they do not have a history of picking the president. There just isn't enough corrolation between their past choices and the actually out come, to make this mean anything at all. But this year, they voted:

Dixville Notch: Obama - 15, McCain - 6.

Hart's Location: Obama - 17, McCain - 10, and 2 write-ins for Ron Paul.

Totals: Obama 64%, McCain 32% and Paul 4%.

Ralph Nader was actually on the ballot, but no one voted for him. I'm hoping these precentages hold for the rest of the country. FINGERS CROSSED!!!


I also bought a pair of dancing shoes.

Aren't they pretty? Now I'm a real highland dancer.
