Now we wait, we watch, we pray... we try not to check the polls every five minutes.

"The past has been a mint
Of blood and sorrow.
That must not be
True of tomorrow."
Langston Hughes, History


"I am unjust, but I can strive for justice.
My life's unkind, but I can vote for kindness.
I, the unloving, say life should be lovely.
I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness."

-Vachel Lindsay, Why I Voted the Socialist Ticket


I've cast my vote. I hope that all of you who are able to vote today find no impediments- if you do, 1-866-OUR-VOTE (or on the web at www.866ourvote.org) is the number to report any fraud or voter suppression activies.

HAPPY ELECTION DAY !

Oh, it's almost over, and we're SO CLOSE...

I wish I was in Chicago right now.
