Barack Obama · news · television

And then there were dolls

I suspect no one is looking at my blog tonight. Their eyes are pealed to the television as they watch Barack Obama and John McCain battle over the fifty states. I just got off the phone with a friend who multitasked talking to me while being glued to her televsion screen.

I won’t say who I voted for, lest I alienate some of my readership, but I will say that this election has been exhausting for me. As an avid reader, I subscribe to many magazines: everything from Time, Newsweek and the Economist to Latina, Self and Oprah. I feel like the only thing I don’t know about the candidates are their shoe sizes. And I suspect I could open up my Marie Claire and possibly sleuth out that last tidbit.

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worst, I heard that there were dolls. Yes, little Sarah Palin and Barack Obama dolls are out there ready for dollars if not your votes. Can I just say that I look forward to tomorrow morning with total gratitude? Finally, we’ll know who finally won the longest election I’ve ever suffered.
