One Week Remains. . .

What has seemed like an eternity will soon come to an end (or at least we hope). One week remains, as of tomorrow, in this election season. Just as in the case of previous elections, everyone is feeling fatigued, even with the candidates fighting it out this final week. Many have simply written the campaign off, taking the assumption that Barack Obama will indeed be elected next week. However, there is still a week left, and that's a long time in politics. We have seen interested events occur just today with the conviction of Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens (R). That right there has changed the dynamics of this election, and could in fact help the Democrats secure the magic number of 60 and create a filibuster proof Senate. 

So this brief post is a reminder. We are all tired (myself especially), yet we have more campaigning, and punditing, and analyzing, and BS to go. More talk about socialism, clothes, Bill Ayers, taxes, blah, blah, blah. It will be painful, yet we will survive. We will get angry, but we will somehow survive. Even if your candidate isn't elected next week. . . we will survive. So please don't do anything rash before or after the election, it's not worth it. Grab a beer, a cigarette, hell, even a joint if it means getting through this final week and waking up November 5th ready to move on to the next thing that consumes our lives.
