Voting Dilema

I've been pretty stoked about this election. I haven't signed up to get absentee ballots because I sometimes forget to mail them, but I'm a little worried about voting tomorrow. I'm darn sure that Washington is going in the Obama column, unfortunately our governor's race is much closer. Rossi is the scariest possible governor I can think of--the analogy I find most appropriate would be O'Reilly as President. Did your your stomach just hit the floor. He's terrifying & the race was super close last time. When you have 4 years with nothing to do but plan your next campaign, raise illegal funds & illegally send mailers (while your opponent has things to do, like govern the state) you put together a pretty overwhelming campaign.

It's not that I particularly like our governor, she has her flaws & has made some mistakes. But Dino is the worst possible of all evils. Uber-neo-conservative, Religious Right: wants to allow pharmacists not only to refuse to supply emergency contraception but ALL contraception, health care, especially women's health care is going to get no funding, pharmaceutical companies will run rampant & the environment will die, & any hope of Legal Gay Marriage will be a distant thought.

So it's important for me to vote. The lines on TV are really freaking long & I have to work tomorrow; specifically, tomorrow night. So do I make sure I get enough sleep during the day & risk not getting to vote before having to be at work? Or do I risk not sleeping before work & go early to make sure I vote. Before you answer you should know I'm a nurse working in a very challenging ICU & if I screw up at work someone may die. But if Rossi wins the election I'll wish I was dead (& so will most people in this state, even if they don't realize it now).

I'm going with the latter. I can always call in sick, at least until Rossi has the union dissolved.
