Tuesday, of course, is Election Day, and I can't wait. Yes, it's a foregone conclusion that New York will go to Obama, but it's fun to see my home state in the spotlight from 600 miles away.
Early on it was apparent that Ohio would once again be a swing state, but who could have anticipated that Joe the Plumber would (unfortunately) become a spokesman for all of us Buckeyes? And while a visit by a presidential candidate to New York City is barely noted, I had fun reading the coverage of McCain's visit to Defiance earlier this week.
Paul still seems to be on the voter rolls in Ohio, and the only robocalls we've gotten have been from the Ohio Republican Party. In fact, he's gotten about a half-dozen absentee-ballot-request forms in the mail. From Ohio. We've gotten no party mailings or phone calls in New York, aside from a few polls about candidates for Congress.
I've heard that the lines will be long in Ohio, and I'm curious to see what it will be like here-- no early voting in New York.
No national pollster gives a crap about Maryland because it's SO obvious it will go to Obama. I think fivethirtyeight.com is predicting that he has a 100 percent chance of winning Md.
ReplyDeleteI'm still excited to see how things go, though! Phil is voting for the first time EVER.
