Anyone else out there feeling like this is Christmas Eve? That same kind of anticipation. The surprises under the tree — the surprises happening right now in the voting booths.

Found myself choking up watching Obama vote in Chicago and again listening to Palin on the radio being interviewed after she voted in her hometown in Alaska. So I was a bipartisan choker-upper this morning.

Any other emotions floating out there this day? No matter what happens, will be one for the history books.
