One Day More!
Finally! I've been waiting to post this for what seems like ages - Les Misbarack:
To help pass the time, other fun things:
Sarah Palin: Fangirl by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sheafrotherdon. (This SLAYED me! *flails*)
selenak hated what the last eight years did to what was once a favourite show, "The U.S. of A". (...All the recasting didn't help, either, especially since the Attorney Generals all seemed to be the same character (see: Hooray, Torture agenda) while having different names. What was up with that?)
Lovely article: My wife made me canvas for Obama; here's what I learned.
adinfinitum has an Obama picspam. (Will MURDER dial-up, srsly.)
And - for anyone who missed it - my very silly election fic: The Election, as seen from Torchwood Cardiff.
For those who want something a little more indepth, Andrew Sullivan's leading article in yesterday's Sunday Times: Obama: I am the chosen One. Untried, untested but ready, Obama dares the US to vote him in.
Finally, The Sunday Times also printed an excerpt from 'Audacity of Hope': Obama in his own words: the day I put my arm around President George Bush.
I'll quote a snippet, because it highlights one of the main reasons I want him to win - the ability to disagree without being disagreeable, and find common ground:
After the trappings of office are stripped away, I find the president and those who surround him to be pretty much like everybody else, possessed of the same mix of virtues and vices, insecurities and long-buried injuries, as the rest of us.
No matter how wrongheaded I might consider their policies to be – and no matter how much I might insist that they be held accountable for the results of such policies – I still find it possible, in talking to these men and women, to understand their motives, and to recognise in them values I share.

The linky spam of praise helps (and I might add that the Les Mis on is pure joy for me since I used to fangirl Les Mis hard, and I didn't even go back to eating people after it. Plus, Palin as the Thenardier's, hee!). I have this urge to hide all day today, then vote first thing and move on to hiding all day tomorrow.
Hold me. *clings*

Heck, I'm in Chicago. The dead vote here, I'm sure you wouldn't have that much of a problem with something as trivial as citizenship. At least you have a pulse.

Heeee! Now I'm imagining hundreds of vampires, shielded from the sun with umbrellas & bit hats & blankets, lining up to vote! :)
(And how would the ads aimed at vampires go? Hmm....)

Well apparently some people want to find out.
I voted. Now comes the nervous waiting. *bites nails*

Have you seen this one?
I got it from Political Irony (http://politicalirony.com/) which is a great place for similar links and cartoons. As the Political Irony blogger says my favorite line from the song is, "My kid plays hockey, and I wear lipstick / but I’m a thinker, and you’re a dipstick.”

Great set of links, thanks!

Really? That's amazing. But I understand it, definitely. There's something incredible about the whole thing.
Great set of links, thanks!
My pleasure. :)

You said it!
I voted last Wednesday and brought an formerly undecided who made up his mind with me. Now I wish I could vote a few more times tomorrow (just kidding) (well not really), so that I could occupy my hands with something other than biting my nails-my disability precludes most other on the ground activities tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed. I'm hopeful, it feels good.
Imagine Florida true blue-it boggles the mind.
Re: You said it!
Sounds good! :) And I shall be crossing my fingers too!
