Lady, I'm about to have a stroke. (And yes, I'm blogging at work. I can't get anything done! I'm too distracted!)

I can't wait till tomorrow! We always stay up late waiting for the winner to be announced; course four years ago we were up until about 3 am waiting and watching the flip-flopping and we finally fell asleep on the couches with still no winner! Hopefully, this year the winner will be evident and the election will not be as close as the last one.

I know and idn't you guys get a cake all decorated in red, white, and blue? I loved that idea. Of course, I generally do love all your ideas.....

:D

I was up till about 4 am after the last Presidential election. Not a happy camper and I won't do that again...well...hopefully I won't. :)

The essay that follows was first published almost 170 years ago and wasn't even by an American. Alexis de Tocqueville was a 26-year old Frenchman who described to Europe our young country's experiment with something called representative democracy. Though his book is long, his chapters are short. This one is titled, "Crisis of the Election."
