I have no reason to be overoptimistic.

Regardless of how you're voting, please take my poll:

I'm hoping to take Yael with me to vote, but it depends on how long the lines are.

Then, Avi and I will spend the evening in front of the TV and laptop, obsessively marking things off on a big electoral map, and refreshing CNN and Washingtonpost.com. I will probably also spend some time staring longingly at my bottle of tranquilizers, wishing I could take one.

Is it tomorrow yet?

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Awwww, I hope she comes to help you vote! My kids were pretty good for a 45 minute wait, so I wish you the best of luck!

Also, pretty pink-ized icon!

I won't bevoting tomorrow, because I voted absentee. I will be doing my normal class routine during the day, then in theevening going to a watch party with my law school friends that will either be in an apartment or a dive bar. And we're all Obama backers, so... everyone else will get drunk either way and i will sip on water and be bitter about being on antibiotics.

[flourish.livejournal.com]

About the same here, although I'll be getting drunk, not being bitter.

I figure either we drink in joy or we drink in despair, right?

I need to get me a big electoral map.

I'll voting early today in WI so that I can be a poll observer on Tuesday. Hubby's doing GOTV in Milwaukee after work. :)

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Wear comfey shoes!

[ashavah]

It's a public holiday here tomorrow, so I will be spending it refreshing news sites insanely and wishing it were Wednesday afternoon, which is when the poll results will start becoming apparent.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Please think good thoughts for us!

[nekiko27.livejournal.com]

Technically I'll be spending my Wednesday clicking the refresh button on the office computer when I'm not teaching crazy kids how to speak English. Not cool 14 hour time zone difference between here and the East Coast. And since no one really cares about the election over here, I'll just celebrate the post election-ness by myself ;_;

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

When it's all over you might get some interest from people who you wouldn't necessarily think were paying attention, but they were...

Gah, that vid made me CRY. I've seen it, but GAH. I am so emotionally keyed up over the election, I can hardly function!

I live in Virginia (I am so HOPEFUL we'll go blue), and I already voted absentee, so I just get to be a nervous wreck tomorrow and refresh the news sites obsessively. EEEEE! *twitches*

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

It makes me cry every time I watch it. And I've watched it a lot!

Eeeeeeee! A blue Virginia Total-LEE!

[marilla82.livejournal.com]

That video is AMAZING!

Since I already voted, I'll definitely be encouraging everyone who hasn't to get themselves to a poll (not a pole, as is my usual encouragement).

Also, I'll be having cake most likely, as it's my birthday.

ALL I WANT FOR MY BIRTHDAY THIS YEAR IS SOME CHANGE! :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

CAKE! What a wonderful birthday wish!

[amaz0n-princess.livejournal.com]

I'll be doing my job, which tomorrow entailes me attending Expeditionary Warfare School, and on Wednesday flying missions all day.

But you'd better beleive I'll be checking the news on my iphone everytime I've got signal!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Here's to a good signal for you!

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

my daughter asked to see that video again, today!!

please, America... we're kind of counting on you, here...

[ashavah]

We sure are ... (I'm taking "we" to mean "the rest of the world" here).

[hp5freak.livejournal.com]

coupled with the fact that I have to get up early for work anyway (earlier than usual), pick up something from the store, and I have NO clue how long the line will be for the polling place...I figure, I'm going to have to leave the house about an hour early, and may have to give up my place in line and go back after work if it gets too late...

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

STFIL! I know you will! Can you spin by during lunch?

[megaloo13.livejournal.com]

Sent in my absentee ballot a few weeks ago, so I'll be working and bothering all my co-workers on whether or not they voted. :D

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Bother! Bother! Bother!

[presentiment.livejournal.com]

Tuesday, from 7pm - 8pm, I have a Bible Study meeting, so I will be pointedly Not Thinking About It.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

How are you going to sit there without being squirmy?

You are very brave!

[lexin.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it'll have wall-to-wall coverage over here. In fact, I know it will.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Cool!

[ladylisse.livejournal.com]

I can't head up to Chicago because of classes and work, but since I'm on a heavily Democratic campus in Illinois? I expect epic partying if Obama wins.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Oh, that sounds fantastic!

[bekkio.livejournal.com]

I'll actually be testing for my red belt tomorrow night - I suppose it's a good thing to be occupied with that instead of hitting refresh over and over again. Hopefully there will be good news by the time we're done and home.

I voted by absentee a couple weeks ago.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Maybe there will even be good news before you go in...

[clemgo3165.livejournal.com]

I'm a precinct chair for the dems here in Albemarle Co., Virginia. So I'll be out all day managing a staff of 14 volunteers and a lawyer - handing out sample ballots and stickers, checking off "favorables" as they vote and calling those who haven't voted to remind them to get out there. All in an effort to bring my little piece of Virginia home for Obama (and Warner, and Periello).

Tomorrow night I plan to hang with some friends and try not to hyperventilate!

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Oh, sounds fantastic! Good luck to you, and your state!

[zorb]

Other: I already voted, so I'll be working to avoid anything election related until I go home and watch TDS/TCR.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

You know it starts at 10 PM East Coast time on Tuesday, right?

[macloudt.livejournal.com]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Obama. Heck, I'll cross my toes as well.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

And my eyes! I am crossing my eyes!

[utkari02.livejournal.com]

Wednesday I'll probably also be zombie-like from staying up all night watching the results. ;)

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

But hopefully we won't have puffy eyes from crying all night, this time.

[midnightbex.livejournal.com]

While I would love to be working at a polling place or volunteering somewhere or most especially at Obamapalooza, I will be working. Both my jobs. :(

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Are you going to get results via texting while you're working?

[cee-m.livejournal.com]

I am both ready for this to be all over as well as being so excited that sleep is not coming so easily.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

I had the worst dream about Palin last night - first time I ever had such a nightmare. MEEP!

[hmrpotter.livejournal.com]

Ooh...I already voted three weeks ago! :o)

I'm so nervouse about what will happen...I don't know if I'll be stuck to the front of the tv, or if I'll be too nervous to even watch. I'm so scared that some Florida-type bullshit will happen, and yet I'm wondering who will e throwing Obama celebration parties! I'm just in a zone and will probably remain that way until Wednesday.

[scoreboard.livejournal.com]

Chiro appt at 4:45 PST, which means I will be done by 5:30 PST. By that time, polls will close in Penna, Fla and O. Which means that by the time I get to the party at 6:30 or so with an unopened bottle of Maker's Mark, they may have made the call...

Of course, on top of everything else, I have to sweat out Prop (H)8 until probably midnight. Did I mention that the big annual 3-hour disaster readiness drill at work is Wednesday at 9 AM?

[i-phianassa.livejournal.com]

Desperately hope that my absentee ballot was counted whilst gnawing on my fingernails!!

[likebunnies.livejournal.com]

I already voted on October 20th but I do believe I have to take my mom to somewhere so she can do some campaign working. She's so much better at it than me. The kid and I had planned on skipping Scouts tomorrow night so we could sit and watch the news (and he could finish up his very big election journal for social studies) but the Scout people decided to have a big meeting that we all have to be at. Don't they know I need to see the TV?
