Thank the stars!!

I want to express how thankful I am that the events of this evening have come to be...the election is finally over.  No more political ads, no more polls, no more phone calls from republicans or democrats, old or young people, or any other people trying to convince me to vote for Obama, McCain, [insert local representative's name] or someone calling for this/that Amendment.  I will not be saturated with messages on my cell from Becky from the Colorado Democratic party, or Ellen from the campaign for McCain and Palin, or better yet Sarah Palin herself (twice, though I am fairly certain she did not call me personally).

Don't get me wrong, I am immeasurably excited for the U.S.A. and for the potential future that Presidential Elect Barack Obama will eventually lead the United States into, but the harassment that people have to endure during the last couple months of the presidential elections is ridiculous.  The whole thing has been turned into a spectacle of sorts, a circus of red and blue.  I appreciate the system that I am a part of and would never want the representative government aspect to change, just the inundating coverage and pressure towards one of two options.
