Today is Election Day and I’m realizing that this is the
first time I’m going to be in a relatively calm environment for a presidential
election since 2000. Yet I can’t shake
the feeling of being nervous like I always am.
If you’ve noticed my blog posts, tweets, Facebook posts or
anything in the past year, you know who I’m voting for tomorrow. I should be
fairly confident that things work in his favor tomorrow but despite my warnings
on avoiding all distractions, I can’t shake a feeling that not everybody is
that intelligent to parse through the crap to make a smart vote on their
conscious. But Election Day nerves aren't new to me
1992: 8 years old. My school had a mock vote for President
George Bush, Bill Clinton and Ross Perot after each grade had to “support” a
candidate in a presentation at school (I remember my 3rd grade class
had to support Perot). After we took the vote, Bill Clinton won by an
overwhelming margin and we all cheered throughout the school. I remember coming
home to see Clinton won and feeling pretty happy.
