One More Day

One day more until the election of 2008! Kate and I will be sitting inside the Kennedy Center taking in Bizet's Carmen while the votes roll in (they start at 7 PM . . . the vote rolling and Carmen both). But we should be back to the house about the time things really start to firm up (that is . . . by about 10 or 11 at night - when we return to TV's pundits and pollsters - there should be an indication of who's winning).

For those of us who need a political fix, there is a new "widget" on the blog this morning. It's a part of the Washington Post online that I really like: Chris Cillizza's "The Fix." You sometimes see Chris on MSNBC's Countdown, too. It's very interactive in a new media kind of way and you can even video blog back in response to some of The Fix's pieces to express your opinions.

Wacky fun!

Carmen dies in the end, by-the-way . . . very sad.
