Big rumble is about to come

The time for speculation is over, and the big day is tomorrow. While I confess to a sudden onset of nerves, I am also restraining my incredible excitement about what I think is to come.

As I said the other day, my nervousness seems to be seeing Barack in the shadow of Kerry and Gore. But Barack Obama has run a masterful campaign and by all rights should be elected President of the United States tomorrow. Now it's time for America to hold up its end of the bargain, to respond with optimism and hope for a better future, a new direction, the American dream, to form a more perfect union.

It's time for America to finally respond to the continuously deteriorating filth and dishonesty of the Palin/Joe/McCain campaign and its surrogates that focused on looking backwards, inciting the worst instincts in people, fear of socialism (I mean, really?), fear of those who look different, conjuring up nationalistic demons, manipulating the Jewish vote that is so critical in states like Florida (Khalidi, the ever-contemptible RJC, Joe on Israel, and more).

For my part, I will spend all of tomorrow monitoring a Central Florida polling precinct as an election lawyer, to ensure that everyone who is entitled to vote gets their chance to vote a true ballot, and that all of those votes get counted. I hope to be extremely bored and have a day without incident.
