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!
