I have so far refrained from letting my often very strong feelings about politics spill onto my blog.  But, since tomorrow is the big day, I have to say, this is the third election I've voted in, and I have never been this excited.  I can't concentrate on anything, I'm just so ready to get my vote in!  I also realized the other day that I have never voted in the same state twice- Washington in '00, Texas in '04, and now New York.  Just a random fact, haha.  I just feel like we're in the midst of making history, and that this is the first exciting thing to happen to our country in a very long time.  I have a new found pride in my country, and hope it will continue.  At the very least it will continue through tomorrow, when I vote for Barack Obama, the first presidential candidate I've ever been excited about.  I just want to know what the outcome will be!  I'm trying to keep things positive, but as a woman, and one who has felt the importance of voting since my 6th grade presentation on Susan B. Anthony, I can't imagine what will happen to women's rights if Palin comes out on top.  Anti-intellectualism is never the answer, and hopefully that chapter of our history will close tomorrow.  Obama '08!  Everybody vote!
