Battle at Dawn

I'm getting my game face on. At 3:30AM I'll be getting on a bus to go to Philadelphia and monitor polls. I need to be at the polls at 5:30AM and I feel like I'm going to war. The best estimates seem to indicate the race is tied 48% to 48% in Pennsylvania and I believe whichever way the state goes will probably decide the election. Whoever wins 2/3 of the Eastern swing states (Ohio, Florida, Pennsylvania) will probably win the election. My personal prediction is that Ohio will go for Kerry, Florida will go for Bush, and Pennsylvania will be the deciding factor. I intend to be at ground zero doing what I can to prevent a repeat of the 2000 shananighans. At least if the Democrats lose, I will be able to live with myself for knowing I did all I could to prevent the disaster of 4 more Bush years. I was glued to the TV this afternoon watching the election coverage, it's just too tense to get any work done. So much is at stake. I'm not going to get much sleep for the next 48 hours...
