...momentarily. I worked the morning shift today and Wendy had class all morning. Right now she's at a doctor's appointment. As soon as she gets home, we're headed to vote.

Of course, as soon as I got to the car this afternoon I took the Slayer CD out of the CD player and dialed up local AM radio … the reports indicate that statewide voter turnout is at a marked high; possibly the highest ever for a mid-term election. That sounded pretty good to me. A high turnout is typically good for conservatives (just ask George Allen) since liberals, historically, don't bother voting. I guess it's too much like work for them.

Of course, anything could happen. I may well be singing a different tune tomorrow … but right now my mood has changed from "open-minded pessimism" to "guarded and reluctant optimism."

And, honestly, either way, it's all going to be fine. Even if the Democrats get control of both houses, America is going to be OK. That's another difference between us (conservatives) and them (liberals): We disagree with them and think their ideas are faulty. They, on the other hand, think we're EVIL and that we're DESTROYING AMERICA THE WHOLE WORLD.

Even if liberal Democrats take both houses of Congress, we're going to be fine. One prediction I feel quite comfortable with is that, no matter what, you won't hear any conservatives saying tomorrow that they're going to move to Europe because they just don't like the current Congress.
