It Is Done.

My votes are cast. Now we settle in to wait.

I was at my polling place for about half an hour, which I know is nothing compared to the waits other people are facing, but I've never seen a line even half that long at my precinct before. And I know I'm seeing a higher percentage of "I Voted!" stickers than usual. So vital signs are strong.

Still, as I was waiting to fill out my ballot, two guys who had just finished ran off together, chanting "Obama! Obama!" Another guy standing in line pointed out that this is not exactly a courageous statement of conviction in San Francisco. Still, it warmed my heart. Not going to make any strong statements yet -- this article explains why. But this thing could really happen. Wow.

I'm superstitious about this as well. Did you hear that the head of Gallup said this morning that if McCain wins it will be by a miracle. The odds are so heavily against it that no professional gamblers are touching them. Still I worry.
