As the polls begin to close on the East Coast, we are getting closer and closer to finding out who the President of the United States will be for the next four years. That's right, folks, it's "The Final Countdown" here on election night 2012.
Having the right to vote is the ultimate freedom, the freedom to have an opinion. I, for one, do not understand the people who choose not to vote. Why don't you want to have a say in the way our country will function? Come on, people, "you gotta fight for your right to party," or to get your party elected. And if you don't vote, you don't get to complain if your candidate loses, those are the rules.
Now, I can relate to the people who are just tired of all of the campaign commercials. I am "so sick" of them myself (even though it's a love song I can make it work here) and I am going to be thrilled tomorrow when they all disappear. This has been one wild campaign ride and it is going to be a nail-biter to see who will garner the 270 electoral votes needed to win.
Throughout this whole campaign season, the candidates have earned some theme songs from me:
Mitt Romney = "Sesame Street" because, well, just go ask Big Bird, he'll fill you in.
Barack Obama = "Tomorrow" from Annie, because his whole campaign was about focusing on moving forward, not dwelling on the issues outstanding from the last four years.
I won't tell you who I voted for, but I will tell you that I sent my absentee ballot in early; even though I didn't get a cool little sticker, I did my civic duty! And now I will be glued to the TV to see who will be walking around to "Hail to the Chief" for a while.
