THANK GOD
Now I can go back to caring about my other, non-poll watching related hobbies!
This was the first Presidential election year I voted in a non-swing state (FL-2000, FL-2004, NC-2008). (Yes, I vote in the off-years too.) Kinda... anticlimactic, I guess, but better to be in a solid blue state than to be in a swing state that ultimately goes red. It looks like our attempt to legalize marijuana failed, but it passed in other states. Damn it! Well, if it works out well for them, I'm sure we'll get another go at it in later years. I haven't touched the stuff in ages myself anyway, I just think the drug war is a fucking disaster in every imaginable way.
But I'm relieved as hell we won't be seeing President Romney. Obama, I just really hope you have a kickass second term compared to your first. Not that it was all bad, and what was bad wasn't all your fault, and I know of course no human being could possibly have lived up to the expectations that were set for you... but...
