Electoral Shock

I was trying to think of something funny/clever/ridiculous to write today and I honestly can't. The election has become all-consuming in my mind and now, just as the first polls are closing, I can't help but sit and watch. I've seen excitement today in others that is nothing short of unreal. It's infectious.

It's because of this excitement I know, before even the outcome of the election is known, this election has been a huge success. People are talking. The apathy is gone.

Finally, I feel I have a justified sense of optimism for the future of my generation, my nation, and myself. We care. I care.

Now, if only my guy will win this thing...
