election day

Tomorrow is election day. Certainly not as exciting as last year (though regardless of the outcomes in Virginia, Ohio and California, it won't be as disappointing), every election day is worth noting. The race for to be the next governor of Virginia is coming down to the wire, with Republican Jerry Kilgore's campaign pulling out all the dirty tricks.

If I were still in Washington, I'd probably be more juiced up about this, and I'd likely be volunteering tomorrow. It is refreshing not to care so much, though. Because while I believe Jerry Kilgore would be a disastrous governor for Virginia, and Tim Kaine a good one, the world will keep spinning regardless of the outcome. And I've grown so weary of relying on elections to vindicate my own political worldview, (especially considering the election results since I have been of voting age) that it's nice to sit this one out.
