The election is over and Barack Obama is still our president. I am so glad the election is done. Last night I was so frustrated by all the talking and the graphics and the numbers. And Jack was talking and explaining. BORING.
I went to bed before they counted the votes. Then my dad came to my room and told me it was over and Obama was still our president. Whew! I didn't like Romney that much. But, as I said to my mom this afternoon, he'd make a better president than Homer Simpson. Imagine if Homer Simpson were president! There would be a department of donuts and beer!
I was really mad that I didn't get to vote for real when I went with my mom yesterday, but Jack explained I had to be 18. I did get to vote in my school election. I had to color in the electoral college map for social studies and had to leave Florida blank.
I think that's it. Are we done with politics for now? (No! Because I have a social studies test tomorrow and politics is on it!)

Election 4
Jack is very involved in this whole election. So are me and dad, I guess. We're all sitting in front of the tv with laptops.
But now I am going to play Minecraft. I did make a Minecraft Debate world. I had a Obama statue of cloth, a Romney statue of cloth, and a villager as a moderator. Jack says it wasn't that interesting.
Oh! there's an ad for the Lincoln movie! Jack wants to see that.
It's 8:15. Florida is 50/50!
Jack says Fox News says Pennsylvania is going for Obama.
CNN is talking about Florida. This is so boring! The debates were much more interesting. Jack keeps explaining things to me. HE is kind of boring too.
I think Grandma is getting ready to go home. She's putting her shoes on. Boo! Jack and I want to sleep over at Grandma's house but my mom hasn't made it happen yet. Boo! Jack says we are putting mom's reelection under consideration.
Grandma went home, but she got a pasty to take with her.
Is this done yet? Please let this be done.
I'm not going to know who the president is until tomorrow morning. It's 8:30 and I have to take my shower and go to bed. Jack says he can take over the blog until there is a winner. I don't know about THAT.
Dad is reading my blog stats. I've had 17 hits from the country of Latvia. Dad says I need to shout out to my peeps in Latvia!
I have one hit from the Netherlands. That's my cousin! (Mom says Hi, Colleen!)
I have my swimming lesson tomorrow. Will there be a president by the time I go swimming? Or maybe the president will make exercise illegal! I don't think I like that!
CNN says Obama will win Pennsylvania. Is this a surprise? Jack says no.
Obama headquarters is at McCormick Place in Chicago. Dad says it's in the "Lakeside Center" which is the old McCormick Place. I'm glad I'm not there. It looks very crowded and noisy. I don't like crowds.
David Axelrod said he'd shave off his moustache if Obama lost some states. That would be funny. My dad had a beard and moustache a long time ago, but he doesn't anymore.
I'm going to play Simpsons Tapped out for a few minutes. This election coverage is making me crabby and anxious. I finally got the android's dungeon!
My mom's facebook friend is drinking blue drinks. What's in those blue martinis?
Alaska and Hawaii are still voting. Jack just pointed out for me which states are still voting. Mom says he is a very helpful boo boo.
Why does this all take SO LONG? Jack says because the polls in California don't close for another hour. ugh.
My dad thinks the top of the hour music on CNN is cheeseball! He thinks maybe we should change the channel. CNN isn't keeping up.
It's 9pm. I'm signing off to go to bed! I guess I'll have to find out who is president tomorrow! GOBAMA!
THAT'S IT.

Election 3
It's 7:20. I bet all the exciting stuff will happen after I go to bed.
I have to take a homework break. Expository writing waits for no blog...

Election 2
Chicago polls stay open until 7. It is still 6:30, so nothing is happening here.
The pasties are out of the oven!
This is Jack. Obama's up in Florida with a quarter of the vote in; this bodes well. Virginia is relatively unbeknownst at the moment. I haven't seen anything in from Ohio. By my count, Obama has Vermont, Romney has Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, and South Carolina, none of which is surprising. Also: PASTIES!
Thank you Jack. Now let's retire from the election for a quickie as I give out a brief segment I like to call....EDUTAINMENT!!!
Today's subject, Steven Spielberg's Amblimation. It was the animation production arm of Amblin Entertainment. It began its run with the sequel to Don Bluth's "An American Tail" called "Fievel goes West". On its release on Thanksgiving 1991, it met with mixed reviews like the first film but did do well at the box office. Spielberg decided to use the money to produce his next film "We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story" which was based off a children's book of the same name. It had famous actors in the film like John Goodman, who later on did the voice of Sulley in Pixar's "Monsters Inc", Kenneth Mars, who previously did the voice of King Triton in Disney's "The Little Mermaid" and oddly enough.....Yeardley Smith. That's right, the same girl who voiced Lisa Simpson contributed her voice to this movie. On its release in November 1993, a year after Fievel goes West was released, it got mixed to negative reviews. The last film by Amblimation was Balto. Based on a true story of the sled dog of the same name. It tells the story of Balto (voiced by Kevin Bacon. Mmmm. Bacon) who tries to win the heart of Jenna, a young Siberian Husky, voice of Bridget Fonda. But he is constantly interrupted by Steele, a Alaskan Malamute voiced by Jim Cummings. Now the rest of the story is based off the real event. It was Amblimation's final film when it received 50% mixed reviews. But hey, at least it got two direct to video sequels. Now that Edutainment is done, let's get back to our main subject: the election.
It's 7pm central time! Polls in the midwest are closing!
Romney is talking on a plane.
My mom still thinks that Anderson Cooper is cute. So does my grandma.
How do these reporters keep thinking up things to say? It's a lot of blah blah blah.

Election
It is election day! Me and Jack are on the couch and dad is in his brown chair watching the election returns. Earlier today, me and Jack went to vote with my mom.
Earlier than that, I went to the doctor to have a physical. The nurse gave me a flu shot in the nose. She stabbed me in the nose with her sprayer. I said, "that WASN'T very nice!" I think it still hurts.
Right now, I am eating pizza, and my mom and dad and grandma and Jack are waiting for the pasties to come out of the oven.
6:30 -- Grandma says it is too early to be exciting.
This guy on CNN says that Ohio has had it right in every election since 1964. Is that why we were so worried about those Ohio undecided voters in the debates? Ohio is where my relatives live. But I think my aunt voted for someone weird.
I'm going to have more pizza. More later

Election Eve
Yesterday, I went to brunch at Misericordia with my mom's Betsy-Tacy ladies. It was good. I had to say hi to a lot of strange ladies, but I was with dad and Jack and Grandma, so it was okay. I even had to guide one of the women to the bathroom. Mom and I went to the gift shop and I got a stuffed "Bad Kitty" but we had to hide it in mom's purse from dad. He says she's a soft touch.
Tomorrow is the election! Me and Jack are going to vote with mom after school. We vote at my old preschool. Then Grandma is coming over and we are having pasties! Pasties are meat and vegetables wrapped in pie crust. They are something my great grandma used to make, so my mom is making them. We eat them with ketchup, not gravy. I told mom I'd try some pasty.
We will eat pasties in loving memory of my great grandma Helen. 1907 - 2012.
Who do you want as president? Barack Obama, Mitt Romney or Vanellope Von Schweetz? Cast your vote and come again for my live blog on the election. Wreck It Ralph now in theaters from Walt Disney Pictures.

A bunch of blah blah
Halloween: I was Fozzie Bear from the Muppets. Jack was Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I went trick or treating for 2 blocks but then I came home. It was cold and a bit boring. Jack went off with his friends and Dad was working, so it was just me and mom. I got a bunch of Reese's peanut butter cups, so that's good enough for me!
Did you see this?
So funny! I love the Simpsons! My brother Jack reminds me of Mr. Burns! Matt Groening is one of the most talented people of all time. I'm writing an expository essay about The Simpsons and how the show has influenced many other tv shows. Ricky Gervais said that The Simpsons was an inspiration for the original English version of The Office. The Simpsons has been on tv for 24 years and 510 episodes! Ms. Marcheschi gave me a card she got from Starbucks so I could redeem the original Treehouse of Horror episode on iTunes. I watched it last night to finish off my favorite holiday!
