Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Hee! Thanks, smonster. Will stay away accordingly.
food at the convention center is also pretty darn good, considering.
I saw a bunch of stalls that looked like a decent sized food court on the way in. Might try that since I only have an hour for lunch.
3 hours into the symposium and I am already squirming. I paid for the sessions and everything, so I shouldn't shove off and play hooky / go off to sightsee, right? Sliiigh.

I'm clinging to polls and such. Feeling much less worried about it than I was even a few weeks ago...but also a tiny bit worried that the certainty won't get the vote out and then it'll be scary?
In other news, I once again want to scream at the system we are using. Wtf who planned that training can ONLY be done in IE??

You should hear the discussions happening in the government around this. No one thinks they can work for him, but at the same time we all swore an oath to protect the Constitution.
And then there are the few deplorables who want to have their salary and benefits paid for by the government but don't want to pay taxes, or who think it's OK to support a government by and for just some of the people.

Woohoo! May your people be more sensible than the British.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
If nothing else, I think enough women are now mad enough to make sure they get out to vote.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

This? Is what scares the hell out of me. The Brexit polling was wrong. The Colombia/FARC peace referendum polling was wrong. What if this polling is wrong?
I might be super fatalistic today, but I'm not sure if things will change once HRC is president. The fringes--on both the right and the left--have been given a voice, and now believe they are the majority. They're not going to accept any alterations of their world view quietly.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am taking heart in the record early voting numbers and hoping they have severely underestimated how pissed off Latinos are. And therefore the Latino turnout. Guac that vote, la gente! (That is prob incorrect as I don't hablo español, but I hope it's not unintentionally insulting).

I didn't follow the polling for Brexit or the Colombia/FARC referendum (so I don't know how many polls/poll sites existed for them), but for our election, more than 1 reputable poll site (probably more than 3, though I only follow 3) have HRC winning. It's the consistent results across sites that make me feel secure.

I worry about that, but then -- stuff *has* changed under Pres. Obama, despite all the obstructionism and racism. I believe things will change under HRC as well.
