This is a short video piece where young Ohio voters were interviewed about the election and expectations. Race plays an undeniable factor there, just north of the Mason Dixon Line.

On my way back home from school Monday night, I run into to two mini protest rallies for and against
Proposition 8. I’m personally crossing my fingers and hoping that enough people vote no on it so that anyone, man or woman can have the right to marry the person they love.

I am in Flagstaff, Arizona and it is 9:02 am. I am getting my documentation ready to vote. I am so excited since this is the first time I am going to vote. It is kind of cold but I feel really warm inside. My vote can actually make a difference. I am in a swing state. This is kind of ironic since Arizona tends to be strictly Republican and since McCain is from Arizona. We will see how the election here turns out but I know who I am voting for. Wish me luck- I am going to vote!

Walking around Monday afternoon, I saw (and not for the first time) an Obama message in the sky. Someone rented one of those planes that will trail a message, and flew it above Madison with an Obama “O” logo and “Vote Obama.” I doubt this was an official campaign expenditure (more likely a supporter with a knack for creative, amusingly old-school advertising), but it has been by far the strangest form of campaigning I’ve seen so far.

Considering all the hype, all the anticipation, and all the nerves surrounding this nearly two-year-old election, it could be over very quickly, depending on who wins. Take a look at this
map of the closing times for each state.

Today is the big day when all our hard work pays off. In my heavily Democratic school, excitement is rampant. Yesterday, every time the election was mentioned, cheers went out across the room featuring more than a few "Yes We Can"'s. Four years ago, the final poll said Bush 48 percent, Kerry 47 percent. The final election poll had Obama at 54 percent and McCain at 42 percent. Still, we aren't ready to announce mission accomplished just yet.
