 semirandom thoughts on the election are you excited to vote in this election unlike last year i am excited last year rush limbaugh s advice was get drunk and vote for mccain though i didn t go that far i reluctantly voted for the republican candidate this time i m a stoked stoecker and i m not the only one that is ready to go a fox detroit article says that obama and romney are in a dead heat in michigan in michigan the home of the unions the home of detroit so i m happy on two fronts first that a republican is performing so well here and second several polls lately have sampled democrats more heavily than republicans so that tie may actually be a romney lead of course my excitement was a little tempered by the fact that axl rose endorsed obama  even though axl in addition to missing an e in his name doesn t vote i wonder what slash thinks i don t know if i can go into the voting booth without that crucial information hard to believe that the 4year campaign by obama is almost over i say 4year campaign because he never actually stopped campaigning to govern but hopefully a grownup will inhabit the oval office next year and to use obamaspeak  that s no bull
