The End is Near!

Well, tomorrow's the day. I really don't have a good sense of how this will all play out.

My logical self tell me that it's going to be a blow-out for Obama. That there will be a extraordinary turnout of new voters, not usually counted in the polls, that will send him to a 8-10 point victory. That will also include a sweeping victory by the Dems in House and Senate races that will give them 60 Senators and a filibuster proof Senate.

(Maybe that's not my logical self but instead is the worst nightmare I've ever had!)

But my gut tells me that there may be a chance for McCain/Palin. While McCain has conducted one of the worst campaigns in modern history, they are still in the race. They are still close in some polls. Maybe what I envisioned above won't come true, maybe a lot of those new voters won't show up (like they've done in the past) and maybe Obama's true self is finally being seen and understood by enough voters that the race will become close. Who knows?

I know this. I'm tired of the campaign. I'm tired of the constant lying, of the he said, she said, the gotcha politics. I was in NC for the weekend visiting my dad. NC is a battleground state and therefore has a lot more ads being run there than what I see here in GA. It's amazing how low both campaigns go in trying to convince the public to vote for them. I was appalled and saddened, by both sides. Is America truly that stupid, uneducated, so easily swayed and convinced by just seeing a political ad? I'm afraid so.

So, tomorrow I'm going to vote and then go back to work, keeping my head down and will try to stay off of Drudge. I really don't want to follow this election, even if McCain/Palin do pull off a miracle. Nobody will really win in this election. America's lost a good piece of it's soul with this election and I don't think we'll recover from this for a long time. If ever.
