Speaking of the Electoral College...this rather nifty graphic from yesterday's New York Times shows each state sized to represent the relative influence of its individual voters in a presidential election. The numbers show how many EC delegates each state has, and how many eligible voters each of its delegates represents.

After 2000 I re-thought the Electoral College.

I just read that Krispy Kreme and Chick-Fil-A will be giving away red-white-and-blue donuts and fried chicken sandwiches respectively. So if you're a good liar, you can put yourself together a yummy all-American picnic of coffee, donut, sandwich and ice cream tomorrow! Admit it, no socialist country would ever offer you a deal like that.

But mind you, I live in deep Montana. Neither a Ben & Jerry's, nor a Krispy Kreme, nor a Chick-Fil-A. No all-American picnic for me. ![]() |

Today's date - November 4, 2008 - will be a date that high school students will study and memorize for their history tests decades and centuries from now; as far as I'm concerned, there's no doubt about it - today is the day that we as a people will elect the first African-American president in our nation's history!

I am farther away.
I am most upset about missing out on my free vibrator though. At $15, it's worth a hell of a lot more than the $.99-2.99 food giveaways. |

God Bless America, indeed. Just got back - took less than an hour and I got a nifty little "I voted" sticker, too. People who are thinking of staying home should go just for that sticker. ![]() I'm calm yet anxious. I'm going for a run in a little while so that should clear my head some. PS - I'm missing Tim Russert today already. ![]() |

I don't know. I don't think the Republicans can cheat enough to steal this one.

My first Presidential election was 1996 - ah, good times. Going to bed at 11 knowing full well who was going to still be President in the morning.
