Ithaca is buzzing about the election. No one can concentrate and everyone is counting down the hours until polls close and we can finally have a resolution after two years of anticipation.
I'm so excited. Anyone who says they aren't interested in politics obviously isn't paying any attention.
My journalism teacher told me this stat, which is sad yet encouraging in some way. I'm not sure where he got it, or whether it's true or not, but this is it:
When the Redskins play the weekend or monday before the election and LOSE, the challenging party is 7-0. When the Redskins win the weekend before the election, the incumbent party is 9-0. I don't really know how the statistics work on that or anything, but maybe, just maybe, something good will come from the Redskins' embarrassing performance last night.
The excitement is overwhelming!
