Twice every two years I ride the election-night-and-day-after roller coaster. I check online throughout the day to see how various candidates and ballot initiatives are doing. Then, before I go to bed, I check again.
I begin to digest, dealing with my various elations and disappointments.
When I wake up in the morning, and check again, I am always surprised by something that has transpired through the night. Then I begin the process all over again.
The ride continues throughout the day.
Oh, my head hurts. Get me off this coaster.

I'm right there with you. My head really hurts today. But that may have something to do with, in President Bush's words, the thumpin' that occured yesterday. Ouch. Is it 2008 yet?
I voted for someone yesterday because he had a cool name...how lame is that?!
JANICE!!!!!!!
Well, I have a worse confession - I am such a horrible person - this is the first time since my 18th birthday that I didn't actually vote because I didn't change my residency in time! I had already notified California that I'd moved (so I couldn't vote there) but I didn't have Indiana I.D. yet and missed the deadline (so I couldn't vote here). I was very sick about it, trust me, and felt very irresponsible. I hated the fact that I couldn't vote. (It will be an ugly spot in my Hall of Shame forever.) Think of all the men and women who died so I could have that privilege and look how irresponsible I was????

Well, my consolation is that he was an R (if that can be a consolation these days) and it was just for the Board of Equalization, whatever that is!
At least you had a "good" reason for not voting. I simply forgot to in the primary and still feel un-American for that. I mean, if it was a sin I would have comfort that at least it was "under the blood" but I'm not sure it really was a sin. With all this guilt, I almost feel Catholic...hehe, j/k!
You're out of control Janice!!!!!!!
Well, all I can say is that I didn't vote for McAskill here in MO. I don't even know how to spell her name.
Just tell me when and where, Tuckster.
I don't think Janice knows what she's in for...
I'm liking the ride...giddy-up Amy.
