Election Eve Jitters

Here we are, on the cusp of what may be the most exciting election of my lifetime! Living in California, media continually remind us that "your vote doesn't matter" in a state where John Kerry is predicted to capture all 55 electoral votes. However, I feel very strongly about always exercising my right to vote, and I also want to provide my kids the correct civic example.

This year, I think the result of the presidential election will come about if enough young people will get to the polls. Opinion polls typically only sample land lines; many twenty-year-olds only have cell phones, and therefore haven't been polled on their preference. It's already November 2 on the East Coast! Scary thought!

I wonder if anyone will get a good sleep tomorrow night???
