Woke up with Les Miserables - One Day More running through my head. I'm nervous but cautiously hopeful. I refuse to let the various reports of vote disruption and tinfoil hattery to get to me. I can't wait until tomorrow.
Digby has a good summation of where things stand - worth a read.
A point espeically worth noting:
I also heard Tucker Carlson on the Chris Matthews week-end show say that he thought Kerry would win because people don't stand in line for hours in the Florida sun to vote because they like a politician. People are willing to stand in line for hours because they are angry.
I read yesterday that an estimated 30% of the Florida vote has been cast in early voting. If true, it only goes to support Digby's point -- people are angry as hell about what was done to us in 2000 and we are not going to let it happen a second time.
I finally got Scott to watch the DVD of Fahrenheit 9/11 last night. I found it extremely depressing; in fact, I cried more waching it this time than I did when I first saw it. Scott, on the other hand, got angry.
Here's hoping we're both a lot happier 48 hours from now.
UPDATE: Found the link for the 30% info above. Here's the full newsbyte:
In Florida, 30% of registered voters said they already had cast their ballots, using early voting sites and absentee ballots. They supported Kerry 51%-43%.
