I'll buy that.

Music? I'm going with James Brown's "Living in America."

Hand to hand... across the nation! Heeey! Ahh!

Making the election fun.

Go up to someone and ask them "What state does Sarah Palin come from?"
Then, when they reply "Alaska." You can say "Would you? That'd be a big help." !!

My sister just got to work after standing in line a couple of hours to vote. Here's her take:

"I thought I was lucky to get a parkiing spot right in front of the school. But the end of the line was near the store at the fork in the road there at Fairfax and Owen Avenue. I'm not complaining. Everyone around me was fussing about the long line, the cold weather, wanting the lunchroom to provide food, etc. Come on people, at least we CAN vote and not risk losing our lives over it. Bring your own dang snacks."

Sounds like something I'd say, doesn't it?

BTW, to give a sense of scale, her polling place line was from front to back of a school, past a ball field, and another block to the store. I hope they are giving line cuts to elderly and handicapped!

but who is going to win .... ?

It's not about electing a leader, it's all about the spectacle. As in circus spectacle!

holy cow !! that's an impressive turnout. here, i've occasionally had to wait in line, depending on what time of day i go, but never behind more than 15 or 20 people i don't think... well, maybe the year that LePen actually made it to the second round (

). a LOT of people voted that year.

Too close to call, but at the moment it looks like the news media is just winning out over the electorate.
