So, yeah, Obama got re-elected and it was nowhere near as close as I feared. In fact, I felt strangely calm very early on. As soon as it became apparent that everything was so close and Romney wasn't going to walk some of the swing states, I became quietly confident that I wasn't going to go to bed crying into my pillow.

So, I don't think I really need to say that my stomach is a knot of nerves and I'm stupidly terrified. This isn't even my country, people. Actually, if this was the UK election I probably wouldn't even care. Sad, but true ( Read more... )

I'm watching the VP dabate right now.

This is kind of hilarious. Every time Biden talks, I can only imagine Palin is freaking out because she only understands about one in every three words.
