Electorama

Today is the day. Go do your civic duty, people, and vote for the candidate of your choice.

I went and voted this morning about 8:30. I was number 187. I don't know if that's high or low, except that I remember the last time I voted I was something like number 12.

No matter what happens today, there's going to be a kerfuffle afterwards, that much is clear. It's only just noon, and there are already news stories flying about irregularities. I think we're going to see quite a few recounts, accusations, lawsuits, sour grapes...hopefully some fisticuffs.

Events will be interesting for sure here in the Old Dominion, where we have the George Allen-Jim Webb Comedy Show. It's on about a six-month run, and gets funnier all the time. You have to laugh, because if you start to think about what it says about democracy in action it's just depressing. The most recent poll has them one point apart, and the Feds are investigating allegations of voter intimidation.
I saw a sign outside a little while ago that read "United We Stand" under a waving flag. I don't think we're quite so united anymore.
