Now for The Waiting

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.

I think it does make a difference because they are looking at the popular vote too. Even if Obama has the state by a long shot and hopefully he will do as well or better than the expected polls, but if he has an overwhelming popular vote that will be one for the record books. I hope everyone got out to vote even those like me who live in a very red state.

Yeah, exactly. Even if Obama wins, I certainly don't want him to have any sort of mandate, so every vote does count for something.
