in the air tonight?

Excuse my Genesis reference.

Even though we have all been bombarded with propaganda and media and polls, polls, polls, I can't help but a feel a little bit excited about the upcoming elections. It's probably a combination of fear and excitement, but honestly, it's just really nice to see so many people reading the newspaper (for whatever that's worth these days) and talking about policy. Granted, I haven't been nearly as involved as I should be, which does make me feel like I'm leaching other people's excitement, but it certainly is invigorating. It's like the post-season, except if my team doesn't win, we're all screwed.

Having said all that, I'm off to the John Kerry rally at the Metrodome. Hopefully I can still buy peanuts.
