I didn’t sleep well last night. I do not usually watch the election night circus. Generally, I have an attitude of “It will be what it turns out to be” and either read a book or do some work, going to bed early. Last night I started watching, though.
I would never have believed how anxious I’d become over this. I really did harbor the sinking fear that McCain, somehow, would win. That the majority of my fellow citizens would actually vote another Republican into the White House, with all that such a move implied.
I couldn’t stand it. I saw that early lead, flipped from station to station, watched the South started rolling over for the Republicans once more, and just couldn’t stand to watch. …
