Okay, folks. First the important part of the post. The Obama team just sent out an e-mail saying :

"National Call Team,
Barack needs your help right now -- our data indicates that the results will be very close in many states. I can't emphasize enough how urgent this message is. Please go to our website and start calling as soon as you can.
We are not going to hit our goal of 500,000 calls for today by 3pm Central, unless we get at least 2,000 more people calling for the next hour.
Can you call now and continue for as long as you can manage?"

If any of you are members of the team already, now looks like a good time to get cracking. If not, I believe that you need an account on my.barackobama.com to join in, which many of you may have. If you fancy taking part, I believe that you can still sign up pretty easily. If any of you aren't too adverse to phone-banking and fancy taking part, just click on the link and get stuck in. Not 100% sure if this is more to maximise results or is indicative of them being genuinely worried, but either way I figure it'd be a pretty good thing to do.

Anyway, now onto the less important part: IIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Umm... okay, yup, that'd be indicative of me being both stoked and freaked. The freaked part is gradually growing, as there do, as anticipated, seem to be issues with voting cropping up at various places. Thus far, however, I haven't heard of anything that leaves me thinking that "we're" in serious trouble, just potentially so if things worsen. Urgh.

So, how's everyone holding up? I won't be able to reply on LJ for an hour or two, but after that I should hopefully be around for the duration.
