Go Obama!

Willing this man on, against better judgement, in hope for a better future for the planet. Quite possibly the electronic voting travesty, or voters' inculcated racism, will rob him of presidency at the last moment. Quite possibly if elected he'll immediately cave in to capitalist pressures, or some nutter racist will assassinate him for his mild perma-tan. But I can't remember investing hope and wishfulness in any previous US election.

Colleagues are warned I'll be up much of the night watching the returns, and not to expect much of me tomorrow. I want a small stars-and-stripes to wave tomorrow, should he succeed. Go Barack! A black in the White House! Chocolate City here we come!
