Almost over

As I write this, it is only about an hour and a half before the polls begin to close in the East. Soon we will begin to see the results of the real poll instead of the pretend polls that have represented various people's guesswork and predictions. Will it be an Obama landslide as most guess-polls have predicted? Will it be really close and go far into the night before the next president is known, as McCain has suggested?

Doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that the real non-guess poll is now finally underway. Good luck to both candidates. Whoever wins will need a lot of help.

But please don't overlook the race that is so much more important than the race for president. If the Dems gather the magic number of 60 in the Senate, there will no longer be any opposition voice in congress. That means so much more than who wins the title of president. And the way it looks now, that is very likely to happen.

Very interesting indeed.
