Ha.

Election Day

I'm trying to get all of my homework done today so that I can watch the results tomorrow night. Maybe even go to the Forward Colorado party thing. Ha. I'm excited for tomorrow, and nervous. And even though some people are saying they'll be glad for it to be over no matter who wins, I think that's really not the case with most. Not with me, anyway.

Canvasing.

People are getting so involved with this election and it's making me feel kind of bad for losing my fervor with it all. There are so many people who have been volunteering these last few days of the campaings, and many people are missing school to canvas and make phone calls tomorrow. Also, people are leaving school tomorrow to go see McCain. At this point, his visit doesn't really matter to me. The election has pretty much been won one way or another, we can't can't see the results on our tv screens yet. Last minute visits won't make a difference, and people have decided whether they're going to vote or not- another phone call probably won't make a difference either.

3 days.

As much as I love election season, I can't wait for this all to be over. It'll be nice to hear people talking about something else for a change.

McCain?

McCain might be coming to Grand Junction on election day?
That would be cool I guess.
I feel like election day would be too late to change anything though. Most people would have voted early, or would vote early in the day. McCain being here then would take away from peoples' time to get to the polls.
But I could be way off...

Campaign Buttons

Everybody likes buttons. At work today at the Rockslide I saw so many different ones. The Palin ones are really funny. "Palin: the hottest candidate from the coldest state." A woman who seemed to be like 60 was wearing that one.
The Obama ones always make him seem sophisticated, except one I saw that said "Obamamama," on a woman who looked a little like a soccer mom. I've also seen tons of different Obama shirts.
Oddly enough, there have been no McCain buttons around, or shirts, even though this is a very Republican part of the state.

Crazy

People are crazy.
Bumper stickers have been stolen, tires have been slashed, and outrageous effigies have been created. "Obama for president of Afghanistan?"
I think this is all way too out of hand. It's an election not a battle. Someone's going to win, sure, but people should still be civil in their endorsments.
