Election Fever

Like the much of the US I’ve been very much into this election, from the primaries on it’s been an immensely important race.  

Today the NYTimes posted a great video recapping the road to tomorrow starting from the primaries.  I enjoyed it thoroughly, gave me great perspective on how the candidates have progressed and how the they got here. 

Also a few weeks back I read a great behind the scenes look at the McCain campaign.  The article describes how they arrived at Sarah Palin as the VP candidate for his campaign and what prompted key message changes for the campaign.  If he does lose, as many are predicting, I think it’s an interesting looks at the inner-workings of a campaign that had many voices. 

Now wish me luck as I will aim to get to the polling place when it opens to avoid lines.
