Thoughts

I got home late last night and immediately turned on the TV to see how the electoral count was coming along. As no surprise to anyone the presidential race is deadlocked and coming down to the wire. I went to so far as to turn on my laptop as I watched the recap of the polling, but shut it down before it booted. My plan was to write an elaborate post about how convoluted the election process has become. I wanted to cry out to the so very few of you who actually read this page and plead to you to move on. The time to vote has passed. The election is now out of our individuals hands. Regardless of how things turn out now, we have a leader being sworn into office in a short time. He will be in charge for four years. Is there a chance that the half of the country who's candidate did not win will support he who did? I was going to try and appeal to the rational side of each of you and try to get you to see the silver lining. I wanted to have you focus on whatever could be construed as positive over the next four years.

Obviously this was a post I did not make. And it appears that this is a good thing. Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press has taken it upon himself to do the work for me. He has taken the stance I have taken and...well...he's better with words so I'll just link you and Mitch take it from here.
