One more week (or so)

One more week of knocking doors, of putting up signs, of answering phone calls, of too much junk food and not enough sleep. I have another speech to write and a whole whack of bills to pay.

And the irony of it all?

I can't actually vote for my husband. I am not a Canadian citizen.

I do, however, live in Canada. Not just Canada, but Ontario, Canada. You know, one of those provinces over on the eastern side of North America? And although I can vote on the Federal level, I am not allowed to vote on state candidates and issues. So, the phone call I got from Robert Redford asking me to vote against a proposition and the other one I got last week asking me to support Phil Angelides for Governor ( I think it was Phil, but honestly, I didn't really pay that much attention to it...) does seem like a waste of money. You think they could figure out that they're calling out of the country and all. Yeah, you'd think...

Anyway, I can't actually make much of a difference in the mid-term elections. Both of the representatives from my (former) area are Democrats and are not facing any kind of legitimate challenge. I dutifully sent off my absentee ballot, but it felt somewhat unnecessary. I guess I should really buy a piece of property in Ohio.

But I know I can count on all of my stalkers. Vote early. And vote often. After all, that's what the Bushies do. ;-)
