I don't care...I gotta know.

Okay boys,

It's time. I gotta know what you're doing on Tuesday. Did you vote early? Are you planning on standing in line? Mikey, are you also registered under Miguel Hankley? Does Ginny know something the rest of us don't!!??

By my calculations, the Norwood House has pretty substantial pull in this election.

You've got Mikey, Phil, and me (voting absentee...thank you very much transient lifestyle) voting in Ohio. That's 20 electoral votes in a state that is still classified as a toss up in some polls.

Flip's vote in North Carolina could decide 15 electoral votes. Also a toss up state.

And Dave's vote could tip the scale in Virginia (which I think will be much closer than the 6.5 spread Real Clear Politics shows today)and it's 13 electoral votes.

Sorry Matt and Martin, your votes are worthless, unless Obama reveals that he's actually the estraned son of Dick Cheney and Ann Coulter...and even then...

That means that 47 Electoral Votes could swing one way or the other thanks to us!

Which also means we could effectively cancel out any single state (except California) and many other combinations of smaller states (e.g. GA-15, MO-11, ND-3, ID-4, WA-11, and-MT 3).

You don't have to include who you voted for unless you want to, but I'm just curious how this momentus event is impacting my closest frieds.

What is the atmosphere in your neck of the woods? Are you being swamped with commercials? Do you check the polls everyday?

I can tell you that I've never seen so many people with one mindset as I'm seeing up here in Chicagobamaland (or Barack-acago if you prefer). My office is about a five minute walk from where he (and an expected 1,000,000 supporters- seriously) will be on Tuesday night. We only get about one commercial every other day up here. LOTS of Obama wear all over the place. In fact, I've only seen one McCain yard sign, and that was about 25 miles north of downtown in the Indian Hill on steroids neighborhood of Glencoe.

No matter what happens, this has been FASCINATING! What are you seeing?
