There are those who will say that they will be glad to see this election season go but I think Bill Maher hit the nail on the head on Friday when he said how could you possibly be over the most exciting and important election of our time. I tried to go to bed early last night so I could get up and vote early but I was like a little kid on Christmas Eve, too excited to sleep. That was OK though because I bounded out of bed at 6 this morning with a Christmas Day excitement, bursting at the seams to run out and vote. I managed to wait patiently in line (only 36 minutes but more voters at my polling place than I have seen in the last four years combined) but seeing everyone standing in line, young, old, entire families with their children and just seeing how excited everyone was filled me with such joy. I am sure I will be in tears tonight no matter the outcome (although I am desperately hoping for tears of joy) but my most fervent hope is that the spirit of participation which is so infectious today continues for a long time to come.
However long you have to wait, please trust me when I say the rush at the end is worth it. Vote, vote, vote.
