I might not get any sleep tonight.

Serves me right, I guess.

There's unlikely to be any real news until so late in the night that you may as well go to bed now and wake up early to catch $candidate's concession speech right before $other_candidate gives his victory spiel. Heck, I'm probably going to grab a quick nap, and I'm contemplating going to Copley Square to see Kerry's rally.

Apropos of nothing, in Boston there's a clear sense that our boy can do this, and that the real challenge right now is ensuring that he has a mandate to govern via a popular majority. I got to the polls about 5 minutes after they opened this morning, and was 200th in line (give or take). By the time I voted, nearly an hour later, there were another 200 in line behind me. Biking home, I passed my voting precinct again and the lines still spilled outside (although it was only about 15 people long by that point, but that was still after 10 hours of voting).

Oh, what the heck. This LJ icon worked for the Red Sox, let's see if it works for Kerry as well. :)

Well this morning is not looking so bright. But I am impressed by the turnout. Radio 4 says people are still waiting to vote 2 hours after the polls have closed.

Sorry we didn't get to see you last night. Hope you had a fun time watching the votes roll in.

Maybe we could try again tonight for the film?
