Democracy makes me giddy

I was so excited to vote today. Democracy makes me giddy. Primary Election Night in Missouri this evening. It's just about over. Awaiting a few precious precincts in one particularly anxious race. Some good wins. Some good people lost. One nail-biter came down to just a few more than 100 votes. Our woman won, by just one hundred eleven votes. Voting matters. Your vote counts. Future President Barack Obama can only do so much on his own- we need good people at the federal, state, county, local, city, school board- every level of elected official. Please vote. A long day ahead tomorrow. Hopefully a few hours of sleep now. 90 Days until November 4th. 90 very long, very hard-working, very hopeful, very exciting days.
