My hope, and god that I still have any, my hope is that you're right. But I'm...I don't think we can assume anything yet. I can't release that breath until Wednesday morning. I just can't.
I'm going to run in the morning, and then run down to my polling place and cast my ballot and hope. That's the thing. HOPE.
And if it doesn't happen, I think...well, I'm not fleeing, I'm standing and fighting. And I think, maybe if it does happen, there's still a lot to stand and fight against.
I watched "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen" yesterday while I got ready for the show, and when Leo says, "I'm tired of choosing between the lesser of two evils (paraphrase). The say a good man can't get elected president and I think they're wrong," well, I always cry, but it made me sob even more.
And you know, I've still got my issues, I've still got to figure out what my personal solution to addressing the sexism we saw (and have put aside dealing with for now) during the primaries and beyond, and what I think the response to Sarah Palin says about our willingness to accept women in positions of power, etc.
But until Wednesday morning, I'm just...I've got hope or I'm nothing. Thank you John Crichton. Thank you Leo McGarry. And please to the powers of the American people, on Wednesday, I'll be able to say "Thank you, Senator Obama. It's nice to see you up there Mr. President."
