Election Day...BRING IT ON!!!!

Well kids, tomorrow is election day. I for one can't wait!! I know that the odds of the results being all in and finalized tomorrow night are practically non existant, but with any hope we will know who won by inauguration day, fingers crossed. And I know that the polls are close, which means, god forbid, W could actually...... I can't bring myself to say it.
But one of the big reasons I can't wait for election day to be over is, I am tired of being hassled. I fit the demographic of people who don't vote. That means for the past couple of months I have been asked almost everyday, usually several times a day, if I am registered to vote. I finally found a way to put an end to that, put political stickers or pins on every bag I own.
With that problem solved, came a new one. The DNC swarms me. It's like a feeding freenzy on animal planet. This weekend alone I have had 4 people show up at my door from the DNC asking for me reminding me to vote. I ALREADY VOTED!!! I was hoping the first guy would scratch me off the list but no. On top of the personal visits they have called me 7 times in person, and another 5 recorded messages reminding me to vote for Kerry. On Friday I recieved 3 pamphlets for Kerry and 1 for Bush. And in the last week I have been sent 18 emails about polls, volunteering for the DNC and the final days before the election. 18!!
This is what happens if you registar as a democrat apparently and on paper look like someone who won't vote. That's the problem with how you look on a little slip of paper. It doen't show that you watched all the debates, or that you watch the international news, or go to protests.
So for the next 18 hours or so, I will not be answering my house phone, screening calls on my cell (yes they have that number too), not answering my door and wearing my "I Voted" sticker in the middle of my fore head.
