Texans early voted in record numbers. Early voting ended Friday. Millions of Texans have already done their voting duty. Other states with early voting have also had record breaking numbers.Tuesday will be an interesting day. I'll have to remember to go to my polling place, the library, to see how busy it is. I need a new book to read, anyway.
Barack Obama is going to spend election night in Chicago at an event with thousands of others who managed to get tickets. Up to a million more people are expected to be on the streets of Chicago. Those people riot over all sorts of things, winning or losing a sports game, political conventions.
John McCain will be slumming it election night at the Biltmore Resort & Spa in Phoenix. No word on if a million people are expected on the streets in Phoenix.
Meanwhile, over in Africa, should John McCain's opponent win, celebrations are expected to be huge all over the continent. I expect that might happen in other areas of the globe as well.
Say what you want about America's supposed fallen standing in the world, what other nation's election can cause people all over the world to want to celebrate?
