I’ve got a bad case of elec­tion fever.

It’s a com­mon afflic­tion, but I feed my addic­tion with a steady diet of 24-hour news channels.

Don’t worry, I should be cured by Wednes­day. We all will be cured then.

I hope, try­ing not to think of 2000 and poor ol’ Al Gore, who had it snatched from his grasp dur­ing a lengthy post-election wank­fest cour­tesy of a con­spir­acy of scum.

As long as there’s a clear out­come by Wednes­day morn­ing, I’ll def­i­nitely be cured.

This has been one of the most fas­ci­nat­ing, cap­ti­vat­ing, elec­tri­fy­ing cam­paigns I’ve ever seen. It really feels like we’re watch­ing his­tory unfold.

I hope we are, but I’m still not con­vinced. I have so many sce­nar­ios run­ning through my head where Obama doesn’t win. The polls all show him with a clear lead.

Polls can some­times be wrong and as we saw in 2004, even when the pre-election polling tells the truth, the offi­cial vote can lie.

Come Wednes­day, it’s either going to be “Oba­ma­ma­nia” or “the death of all hope.”

Please, let it be the for­mer, because the lat­ter sounds like a real bum­mer, man.
