Election Day


Yes, the above is blatant propaganda.

Usually, I'd be the first to point out Helen Keller's dictum about voting being a choice between tweedledum and tweedledee. However, this year's election has me scared silly. The Democrats, for the most part, are still spineless - especially on war matters - but the prospect of further Republican control of our democratic process should scare to death anyone with a head on their shoulders.

So, go vote today. Please. If you need further motivation, see Molly Ivins' argument on why you need to get out to the polls. Also see The Nation's quick take on why today matters.

To keep up with the results from around the country, check out Atrios for election night commentary. Jesse Taylor is also going to be keeping tabs on the elections.

Finally, if you should run into problems while voting, call 1-866-VOTE-411 (go ahead, write the number down).
