all over but the shouting, i hope

Well, the voting, assuming no lawsuits, hanging chads, computer glitches, or dastardly deeds intervene, will be over today... We should know who will win.

Meanwhile, what a lousy time win or lose for Barack Obama, with his grandmother Madelyn Dunham dieing in Hawaii. It was sad watching that video of Obama at a rally in North Carolina, talking about her. Nods to John McCain for a classy statement. Too bad it stands out as a classy moment in an otherwise nasty McCain/Republican campaign.

So let's just hope that whatever the decision, it is a clean one. No fouls, no cheating, no hanging chads. My head says "Obama" but my gut has been disappointed before.
