Ok, we are WAY TOO EXCITED about this. I already posted my “Election 08″ gift to Kevin, and wrote something reflective, and now I just can’t sit still. So, some randomosity: (I kept this draft all day. This is a collection of election day babblings.

• I voted this morning. I was literally standing in the voting booth staring at the screen. I couldn’t hit the button for Barr. I just couldn’t do it. I voted for Obama. So some of my fellow Libertarians would say this makes me a sell out. So what?
• Jon Stewart:  ”YOUTH VOTE: DON’T FUCK IT UP FOR US. Every year we hear about how you rock the vote and every year you let us down”
• -I love how he is unabashadly pro Obama, but I think the media overhypes the youth vote.
• -McCain is just making stuff up now; he’s like “I’ll make sure energy prices don’t go up for families” Yeah, how you going to do that maverick?
• Indiana polls close early – if it really is as much as a swing state as we’ve been lead to believe, and Obama wins it…we could know REALLY early. I’m so nervous! In 2004 I knew Bush was going to win, so there was nothign to really get my hopes up about, but my hopes are so high that it might kill me. I think part of the reason I refused to get into Obama, despite him being awesome and wanting to marry him, is that because I couldn’t handle a let down if he lost. I was ridiculously angry for weeks (months?) after the 2000 election and I wasn’t even old enough to vote.
• I don’t want to hear about any voting irregularities or anything. It will anger up the blood.
• “If there has to be a screw-up, let it be somewhere else. Let some other state’s ballots go missing, its machines cough up negative numbers, its computers declare a victory for Grover Cleveland. Let the assembled media of the world descend upon Albuquerque or Des Moines.
• “But preferably, let it happen nowhere at all. We’re due for a nice, clean, undisputed election. Please.” –Howard Troxler, St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
• -I’m getting all teary eyed reading obama quotes and how psyched people are abouth im. clearly i have problems
• i am addicted to reading all the stories about the polling places having lines, and blah blah blah Change blah blah blah Hope and I totally buy into it because I am a sucker for PR and polish. I know him winning won’t really change anything but I am psyched nonetheless

It’s totally appropriate that I heard the news from Kevin first, given that he has been my source of all things Election 08′ news for the past four years.

And yes, I teared up. I’m not made of stone people.
