We are currently in a battleground state (NC) and are being besieged with ads -- not just president but senate, etc. as well. I do enjoy watching the news and keeping up on the election, and fortunately since we don't get mail, anyone knocking on our door, or calling our cell phones, I can choose when/how much to watch. However, like most everyone else, I am ready for it to be over. I just hope we actually know who the next president will be by bedtime on Tuesday night -- that it is not crazy close like Bush-Gore nor contested and that no violence ensues. That would be a tragedy.
