Yay- It's Election Day!

Yay- the plethora of signs that riddle the sides of the roads, the polling places, the intersections, etc should be coming down tomorrow.

In case you're blissfully unaware - today is election day and across the Old Dominion, we are electing our Governor, Lt Governor and Attorney General. Unlike most states, we Virginians get to vote for a candidate in each office. It is possible to have a Governor be in a different party than the Lt. Governor because of it. I love this state.

This apparently is a Gubernatorial race with national implications. Heck, 10 days ago, the front page of a newspaper blared "Obama Supports Deeds" - who knew??? Shocking- a Democrat in office throwing his support for a Democrat running for office.. that never happens, does it? wow.. a first. Certainly had to be a first if it warranted a front page headline, no? If the polls are any indication, the state house in Richmond could change party hands after this election, regardless of Obama's support. To be honest, to me, it's the same circus different clowns. Eventually their term is up and we have new clowns clamoring to enter office. Bully for them.

Virginia is one of the most beautiful in the fall. The turning of the leaves are a spectacular sight to behold. Big elections such as the one we're in right now and last year's Presidential elections tend to mar that beauty slightly. Those unseemly signs which appear to get bigger and bigger with each election.

Here's hoping that the peeps that were gung-ho enough to put up the signs show the same enthusiasm and zeal and timeliness in taking them down. Let the rest of us enjoy the beauty of our wonderful state!
