After working the last two major election cycles (2008 and 2010), today has been excruciatingly long. Without have no doors to knock, lists to call, or walk packets to organize, I have spent most of the day wallowing in my inability to do "my part" in this election. After 2010, I may have sworn off working for another campaign, but this antithetical situation is driving me crazy. So in my best efforts to retain my sanity as I impatiently wait for the polls to close across the United States, I will leave you with a few things:

| POTUS at the historic moment of the upholding of the Affordable Care Act. The 21st century echo of "Dewey Defeats Truman." |
This American Life's election week episode: Red State Blue State. It surveys and interviews "hundreds of people around the country, from every part of the of
political spectrum, about the ways in which politics are interfering
with their friendships and families." Practical advice for cross-political spectrum relationship included. No te preocupes familia, I took notes.
Finally, I leave you with a little something beyond politics, a taste of the album that has a been playing in my life these last few weeks. They hail from the great country of Canada, which could be my potential destination post-Peace Corps, depending how America looks at the end of this evening.
