election day

so tomorrow is the big day. there's not much to say, because so much has already been said about this election. but what i will say, is that this has been one of the most amusing election seasons i've ever been a part of. for me, this definitely ranks right up there with the fiasco of the 1995 referendum vote in canada, or the 2000 post-election chad-filled campaign. between grown men who don't believe in evolution, to gun-toting milfs, to chuck norris and paris hilton referring to that "white haired dude," it's been a wild ride.

that being said, the united states has a golden, once in a lifetime opportunity to right what was so wrong over the past eight years. while the rest of the world evolved, the united states regressed, allowing fear to control every aspect of american life. here's a chance to literally change the face of american politics and set a course for a revival of american idealism and pop culture. i would argue, that the election result tomorrow will have to be difinitive. it may not necessarily need to be a landslide, but it has to be a big enough gap to leave all doubters behind. anything short of that would be disappointing.

you have one vote. don't fuck it up.
