Awaiting Tomorrow.

There's really only one topic of major interest in the U.S. today, and sadly it's overwhelming many other issues that revolved around it. I could wax deep philosophy or be a critic of how the elections tomorrow will matter so much or little, but that's how the interweb works. Richard Stevens, who writes the webcomic Diesel Sweeties, had a charater of his named Indie Rock Pete state that a blogger's relationship with the internet is essentially quite fickle and that, "People only pay attention when you say something they disagree with." I forgive the ending a sentence with a preposition, but argue that he's more than half right. Should disagreement be the better course of valor for the blogger?

As we've seen from the political campgains this year the majority of bloggers are actually in agreement: that change to the blue is the best course. Tomorrow we will likely see a huge shift in the wind for the HoR and possibly the Senate as well. That's the consensus of bloggers who prefer to be mavericks and the providers of gainsa. As for myself, I've canvased, spoken out, written my letters and posts, spoke with the uncertain and debated the steadfast this year. My ballot is already in since Oregon votes statewide by mail. The count starts at 8:00 a.m. PST.
