You know I keep my head in the sand a lot of the time. Maybe it's because I'm dating someone more conservative or because this is the most important election of my lifetime, but I'm a little bit awake right now. For years, I've seen McCain on talk shows, and he's always seemed like someone I liked, but lately, I've felt so disappointed. I feel like I'm just watching him sell out more and more every day. Honestly, I was not feeling terror related to this election before about a month ago, because I thought that no matter what, we'd have someone better in office than W. Don't get me wrong, I think there would be nothing better for this country than if Obama were elected, but still... nothing about McCain could be worse than W. But I was wrong. I couldn't have imagined we'd be in a position like this: with a whack job, snarky, "pit bull" like Palin. Now I'm terrified. REALLY terrified. I'm so scared of the closet racists and extreme Christian right now. Gah... Please make this go the Obama way. PLEASE! So yeah, Mom and I have been talking about this a lot.

I can rationalize what I feel, but that doesn't make me stop feeling it. Can it be November 5th already? I couldn’t have expressed the fear and stress I’m feeling over this election better.
