Election Day!

Today is election day in the US. It's not getting much attention worldwide, of course, because very few states actually have elections this year (it's an "off" year). But it is a big deal for us, as we continue to be Virginia residents, and Virginia is one of two states (the other being New Jersey) that will elect a new Governor today. Virginia has this crazy law that restricts Governors from serving more than one consecutive term. I guess it's not a bad law when you don't like the Governor, but when you do like the current Governor, as I do, it becomes quite ridiculous that he can only be Governor for 4 years. According to the latest polling, this year's gubernatorial race between Kaine and Kilgore is still neck and neck. Good thing we sent in our absentee ballots early-- every vote will count!
