November 4th, 2008: Election Day
It’s finally election day! If you haven’t voted already, get out there and vote for your candidate.
Now, if you’ve been following our coverage of the election, it’s pretty obvious what we think of the Presidential candidates. However, I would like to offer our official endorsement of Barack Obama. Over this election Obama has proven himself to be a thoughtful, articulate, and steady candidate. His intelligence and capability has shown in his speeches, the way he has run his campaign and his pick of a Vice Presidential candidate.
While the polls are in Obama’s favor, don’t let that stop you from voting. Even if you aren’t in a swing state, your vote counts. There is a nervous sentiment in the air that people will rely on the positive polls figures as a sign that Obama’s win is a “sure thing.” However, as we’ve seen in the past, it ain’t over ‘til it’s over. All Obama supporters should vote, not just to be a part of this historic election, but to ensure that the right man is elected as President. We must be vigilant that shady polling practices and the Bradley effect do not take their toll on this election.
Both Harlequin and I have already cast our votes for Barack Obama. We wish him the best of luck today. For us, and many of our peers, this has been a truly historic and exciting first Presidential election.

@ dolly — YAhooooo! I am so psyched/nervous for the results tonight. I seriously don’t know how I will react if McCain wins. Riot in the streets? Get plastered to the wall? Track down Joe the Plumber and give him a talking to? So many options…
I’m hoping for a party tonite!!
Dude, if McCain wins, you know the machines are rigged. There is no way!
Already refreshing CNN to keep up with the new articles and stay on top of the polls closing. I’m scared shitless.
@ Annie — I’ll be partying too!
@ Lena — Yeah I hear that. I’m trying (and failing) to write an essay for class tomorrow. I can’t concentrate on anything else!
My eyes are glued to my television right now.
