Delayed gratification

Okay, I know there are at least six undecided voters left in the U.S. But does anyone really think we need another five days in this campaign?

It’s like one of those interminable baseball games (sorry, David) that runs into endless extra innings…and more extra innings.

Tonight, Barack Obama has reserved a half-hour on most of the major broadcast networks. Is there really something fresh for him to say, some “closer” argument that we haven’t heard before.

I got an email a couple of days ago from my step-dad, who was voting early in Kansas. He was elated.

I found myself envying his ability to just pull the damn lever.

I’m just empathetic enough to try to put myself in the candidates’ shoes. Can you imagine? Next Tuesday must look a hundred years away…
