Finally, the Day is Here

Here we go. Best of luck to you and all the Democratic stormtroopers, Cooper. I am heading off to take a nap now in hopes of pulling the all-nighter at either St. Anthony's or St. John's with a few Stella in hand and optimism at heart. Much more on the flipside when everything shakes out. Until then, this is an open thread (I know we have no readers, I just always wanted to post that sentence). UPDATE: Just received this email from an Aussie friend here at Oxford, which says it all. Should be an entertaining/emotional night, regardless of the outcome:

It's a curious feature of life as a political hack/junkie that no matter how objective and hard headed you are able to be every other day in the political cycle, come election day, you become outrageously optmistic that right (I mean left) will prevail. And you just want to scream your lungs out. I'm pumped. See you tonight.
