VOTE!

Also, if you are having a problem, any kind of problem- experiencing an irregularity in voting, if you’re being intimidated, or turned away, call Election Protection at 1-866-OUR-VOTE (1-866-687-8683). They are a non-partisan group overseeing election irregularities.

You can also call the Democratic Party’s Voter Protection hotline, 1-877-US-4-OBAMA (1-877-87-4-62262) or CNN’s Voter’s Hotline at 1-877-GOCNN08 (1-877-462-6608). The RNC doesn’t have a dedicated hotline, but you can contact the McCain campaign here or call 1-703-418-2008 as well.*

This message brought to you by your local

hackthis dealer, who is urging everybody who can cast a vote in this election, to do so. Immediately. You don't vote, you can't complain, and if you try, someone will come to your house in the middle of the night and steal all your toys.

ETA: Also, lest I haven't told you before, I am so very honored and proud of every last one of you for getting out and making your voice heard. Yes, people who don't live in the US that goes for you too. In fact, I am so pround, that if you come here and tell me you voted (you don't even have to tell me who for), I will write you a one sentence story if you also give me some prompts to work with. This will work out in your favor since we all know I am incapable of writing a sentence that doesn't turn into three. And yes, non-US residents you can come and take advantage of me until I leave for the campaign party too. I am feeling magnanimous today. Okay, I'm off to do campaign stuff, so the offer is closed, but if you're already in, then I will take care of you when I get a chance. Everybody else there's GK, The OC, Clooney in 2008, Chuck, Harry Potter, Ocean's 11, Psych and some other stuff in there, so enjoy! And VOTE

I went and voted this morning (I was actually at the polling place thirty minutes before it open and there were still almost twenty people ahead of me in line.) I also got to send an email to report voting irregularities (campaigning in a polling place) so it was an all round exciting day for me.

President Clooney and the first gentleman on election night?

Nick is drooling on Anderson's chest, which Anderson would probably notice if he were awake, but since he's passed out on the sofa as well, he's useless. George would wake them up, but Anderson's been campaigning like crazy for Barack and Stephen -- they both have -- and he deserves the sleep.

Nick on the other hand, well, he's six, he's just happy to spend time with his parents. He's just as happy in Spokane as he is in Waterloo, Iowa.

George's eyes dart between his husband and son and the returns coming back on the TV. Even though Anderson hasn't reported for CNN in years he can't stop watching them. The numbers look good all things considered -- he can't believe Jon chose last week to announce that he and Stephen were adopting, way to derail the whole campaign there Stewart.

But there's a split screen with Barack and Stephen and Michelle and Jon at the campaign headquarters in Dupont Circle, and for a split second George is sorry he and Anderson aren't there, but their eight years are done.

He turns his head when something tugs on the leg of his pants. Anderson gives him a sleepy smile and George pats his hand. At least Anderson's hair was already white before they arrived, he looks as though he's aged maybe six months in eight years. George feels about 75.

"Is it over, did we win yet?" Anderson asks around a yawn.

George smiles. "Yeah, we did."

I'm not sure I have words to tell you quite how happy this makes me. Almost as happy as getting to vote for Barack Obama :) Sleepy Anderson is adorable.

Aw!!!!!!!!!!!! That is so adorable! You are providing excellent election day distraction.

Gnuh. This makes me so happy.

Awwwwww, that's adorable!
