day before the 2008 election...

i'm really on edge today... after 8 years of the WORST American president in history, i'm worried that somehow the repubs might pull some nationwide voter fraud that allows "mc-pain" to get in the door... judging from the "liberal" blogs i've been reading - it seems as though many democrats feel the same way... already 80,000+ complaints have been lodged against the republican party!

i'm just really thankful that Obama worked as a constitutional lawyer and community organizer. it seems as though his campaign is really on top of it this year! i also think it's a major sign that ordinary citizens like me felt compelled to get in the political process this year. this weekend, i went to volunteer at Obama headquarters and was struck by the sight of a truly diverse group of people - everyone from senior citizens to high schoolers spilling out on to the sidewalks and neighboring cafes working to "get out the vote." it was an awesome sight!

it's a really icky cold rainy day today in berkeley... but i know that it's much worse in other parts of the country and world, so i'll try not to complain. just can't wait until the moment when Obama is declared the next US president...
