Election Day

This morning I turned on "Good Morning America", as I always do before heading off to school, and the thought just hits me "Oh god, this is it.  Today is THE day."  Being an Iowan, I've been one of the chosen few who have been inundated with political candidates, ads, slogans, yardsigns, etc. for the past two years.  It's been a long road and now we are at the finish line.

While Robin and Diane were chatting away about Obama and McCain's final hours of campaigning, I started to tear-up (I am so the bride).  I guess what started to get to me was that we are so close to having a president that I can be proud of.  I'm a Democrat and proud of it. The thought of McCain being president makes my stomach turn, but in all probability that won't happen.  Not that I'm counting the chickens too early, I'm still nervous as hell before the returns actually are counted and verified.  But just to be this close and see the end in sight is such a relief.  The finish line is only hours away.
