It’s so close. The election is four days away, and I feel like I can’t turn on the tv or check my e-mail without being barraged by Michelle, Barack and Mark. Yes, I know there are only a few days left, and I’ve seen the polls, I know there is still work left to be done.
I might even go out and canvass once more, but I honestly wish I could go to bed tonight and wake up ready to go to the polls. I don’t want to hear either candidate’s last minute attempts to smear their candidates with unsubstantiated rumors, I don’t want one more “more of the same” or “not ready” attack ads that were annoying when they began. CNN analyzes every percentage point, every shift in a fraction of a percent.
I can’t wait for Tuesday, but getting there is going to be a long haul. Does anyone else feel this way? Are the last few days exciting, or do you just want to cut yourself off from technology and wait it out?
I completely agree with you. Right before the VA voter registration deadline I decided to register in Fredericksburg. I finally got my voter card last Tuesday and this weekend especially I’ve gotten about 4 calls and 2 people at my door reminding me to get out to vote for Obama on Tuesday.
I’ve canvassed a bunch of times so I know how awkward it can be to walk up to someone’s house and talk to them about voting, so it was really interesting to be the person being canvassed!
