That's how I felt last night, too!! Genuine anticipation and hope... HOPE... that this time, we won't get the asshat for president (and yes, I voted Obama, so in my case the asshat = McCain). Ktsp and I stayed up late talking about how exciting it would be to have an Obama presidency... he will take his vows as a citizen under that administration... such a perfect time to be moving back to the US... but oh, how very, very depressing it will be if Obama doesn't win!!! So I am also on pins and needles, couldn't sleep...

It's just before 9am here in Iceland, which is 4am on the East Coast. We still have a long ways to go before we start getting wind of exit polls, and even longer before most of the votes will be talled. The American Embassy has invited us (and all Americans in the country) to the biggest hotel tonight, for a reception/free wine fest from 9pm to 11pm (4pm to 6pm east coast--not really late enough to get anything substantial, but oh well). We'll be up all night waiting for the rest of the returns... most likely not sleeping at all. We barely slept for each of the 4 debates broadcast here at 1am-3am... you think we're gonna miss this one?!!

SOOOO EXCITED!!!

Wow. Well, I think it was a sign that you posted in that Obama thread ("What problems do you have with Obama," I think it's called)--because supposedly, the only people posting in there are those who are voting for him. So there's your sign. Vote Obama!
