Only 5 More Days Until The Election

The election is only 5 days away! Imagine how much our lives are going to change in the next five days. No, not because we will be getting a new president, but because the election will be over. The coverage will be over. After 2 long years we will be able to return to our regularly scheduled lives.

Not gonna lie: the past 6-8 months have been really exciting. All this campaigning and debating and Sarah Palin-ing has been really freaking awesome. People are getting involved in politics like never before and it is just really fun to watch it all unfold. But, I can’t say that I am not a wee bit happy to see it all ending in 5 short days.

Let’s look forward to November 4th. Here is a list of pros and cons of the end of election season:

Pro: No more campaign commercials

Con: More time for these kinds of commercials

Pro: No more funny skits on SNL

Con: Unless McCain and Palin win

Pro: We will be done with the Bush administration

Con: I think I just broke a nail (that’s all I could think of)

Pro: No more “experts” on every damn channel predicting how things are going to go in the election

Con: 24 hour news shows will have to be filled with other less interesting crap

Pro: No more interruptions during Deal or No Deal for a 30 minute commercial.

Con: No more excuses to eat baked goods (“I’m supporting my candidate!”)

Pro: No more hearing about Joe the Plumber, Joe Sixpack, or any other Joe.

Con: Those guys were the closest things I’ve had to a relationship in a really long time (besides Joe I-Can’t-Last-More-Than-40-Seconds).

Pro: We will have a new president!

Con: We will still have a seriously crappy economic situation, a war with Iraq, and other really huge issues to deal with. Oh, and we still have to go to class on Election Day.
