Election day. I'm too tired at the moment to say anything incredibly witty about it except please, god, let Kerry win by a healthy margin. Am up, have voted, need coffee. Mr. B. and the others who are working today to get the vote out have been up for hours, though--hope someone's bringing them coffee. Goddamn crappy meetings all afternoon, so I can't just cocoon and listen to the news, though again, I suppose there won't really be any news until this evening. And yes, I'm staying up, even though that will make tomorrow hell--must not to repeat Monday's oversleeping fiasco.

Vote as if your life depended on it. Some people's lives do. And if you can't do anything today to help get out the vote, at least make sure and ask everyone you talk to if they've voted yet.

And thanks to everyone who's out there today, on the phones or in the rain or heat or whatever weather (here, today, it's rain), getting people to the polls. Here's hoping.
