Now for The Waiting

[ithildin]

I mailed in my ballot last week, though living in a very Blue state in one of the Bluest of districts, my vote doesn't count for much. But I did my bit regardless, and happy to do so. Tonight, a friend is coming over for dinner/snacks/drinks while we watch the results come in. We had an awesome time doing it four years ago, so we decided to do it again.

Anyone else have any special plans for tonight?

Later: meant to add, even, if like me, you live in a non swing state, your vote is still important. I know McCain doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of taking CA, but my vote does count towards the popular vote even if it doesn't in the Electoral College. And the popular vote is important when it comes to that whole 'mandate' thing :) So, yeah, vote! Whoever it is you're supporting.

Ohio is one of those swing states - I seem to recall that the winner has carried Ohio all but one time. Off to add my vote to yours this afternoon. You're right no matter what state you live in it matters.

I can't imagine what it must be like to be in a swing state!
