Any one else taking time off work for election day?

I work nights, so there's no way I can concentrate on my Job while poll results are comeing in. The night of Nov 6 is likely to be one of the best nights of my life, or worst night of my life. I'm scared shitless just imagining the words "President Romney". I wish I could be more of an optimist, but if Nate Silver, Intrade, Battleground polls give Romney any percent chance of winning, that scares me. I keep donating to Obama via a phone app because that's all I can do since I live in the very deep red state of Utah.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I work evenings and requested the night off. Like you, no way would I be able to concentrate on work -- and like you, I've been making donations as often as I can.

It's going be an emotional night by any standard, and I hope and pray it's purely celebration for Democrats!
