One of our secretaries is doing GOTV work in New Mexico, and she's blogging about it at Jilala for Obama. She got the shake Obama's hand on Saturday night. How does he manage to be so sincere after nearly 2 years on the campaign trail? It's amazing.
That said, I am super-ready for this election season to be over. I am very anxious and almost sick of my own candidate. The closest feeling I can conjure is the way I felt in the days leading up to my wedding. For those of you who were there, you may recall that I was basically a basketcase, I was so nervous. I have never really figured out why. Anyway, in the days before, I was so excited and anxious that it made me mad at Mr. Scobie. How dare he make me this happy!? Obama being elected would not exactly be as awesome as marrying BD, but in the context of our current political/economic environment, its pretty awesome. And I feel like crap being so excited.
I joined Twitter today because Laura Ingalls twitters. After trying it out a couple of times, I think I have social networking system overload. I am now on blogger, facebook, linkedin and twitter. I don't bother with friendster. And sadly, I never even get to hang out with most of my friends. It bums me out. A dude with 700 facebook friends held and party, and only one friend came. Too depressing.

Sorry about the twitter nudge. I have no kids and a pretty high tolerance for dumb internet crap!
Andrea, I can totally relate to your wedding/election nerves analogy. I was inexplicably miserable on the eve of my wedding - no sleep, the shakes, nausea. Totally weird. Big event anxiety, I suppose. And I feel somewhat similar now, a week out. Hopefully this ending will be happy, too! Not to measure drapes or anything, but it seems like McCain's chances are comparable to the chances of me getting cold feet back in '03, which, nervousness aside, had no real chance of happening.
