Election Day is here.

The wait is over, and election day is here.

I personally support Obama, but in general I love watching political elections and analyses on TV. While some are saying that the race will be called early, I think it’ll go until midnight at least. If it weren’t for a special event I have tomorrow morning, I would watch the television all night if it were necessary.

Interestingly, the anchorwoman on CBC News just informed us tv-watchers of a “recent study” that says 97% of Canadians would vote for Barack Obama, if they could vote. I guess that means I know a disproportionate amount of McCain supporters. How odd.

I’ve also recently learned that polling stations in some states close as early as 6pm. Isn’t that a tad early? Quite a bit of people work 9 to 5 jobs, and judging by news reports, there are long, long lines for voting today. Here in Canada, or at least where I live, polling stations for the last federal election closed at 9:30pm. Lots of time to vote. Now that’s a democracy.

Today, or early tomorrow, we will find out of America has its first African-American President. Or will McPalin prevail and disprove the polls? I’m so excited, only a few more hours!

(P.S. If there’s a repeat of the 2000-election Fox News scandal, I will not be a happy person tomorrow)
