I’ve definitely worn out the “2008 Presidential Election” category here on the blog, but the day is finally here. Election day. Rather than do a straight column-style post, I thought I’d hit you with some quick thoughts.

• Lest we forget how long it’s been, I was writing election updates as early as February 2007 in this post.
• If Barack Obama wins, I and many others will be very disappointed. But I wouldn’t expect a huge stink over it. If John McCain wins, I’ll be happy, but the hippies might go bananas. There really could be rioting in the streets, which would be a shame and an embarrassment.
• Friend of BipolarNation.com Aaron Robertson has an election today: he’s running for state assemblyman representing the 83rd district of Wisconsin. The poll here has him 4% behind the incumbent, Scott Gunderson. Since Aaron is a pro-life, pro-business Democrat, he has the BPN endorsement.
• McCain/Obama and Robertson/Gunderson aren’t the only elections I’ll be watching today. Minnesotans have to keep Al Franken out of the Senate. Proposition 8 in California is aimed at overturning a gay marriage ruling in that state that said gays have the rights to marry. And hopefully the Democrats don’t get 60 seats in the Senate.
• Things will be so hotly contested today that I’d be shocked not to hear tons of stories about fraud and other voting problems.
