Ice Hockey
Geoff here. I'm sorry to undermine my patriotic compatriot, but telling your boss you are at an ice hockey game and cheering for the Rangers is probably a pretty bad idea, considering the whole NHL lockout thing. BUT here are some other things you can tell him/her!
-I'm at a preseason NBA game! Go Knicks!
-I'm at a college hockey game! Go Big Red!
-I'm at the movies! Go Paul Giammati in "Sideways"!
-I'm sick! Go lymph nodes!
-I'm still freaking voting! It's taking me a long time to decide, all right?
As for tomorrow, I'm very anxious/excited. I'm hoping we as a country can bust on past that 50% voter turnout thing we've been hovering near in the past few elections. Prediction: 65%. That's probably optimistic, but hey. I'm an optimist!
Interesting hypothetical I thought of: would you rather 25% voter turnout and your candidate elected or 100% voter turnout and the other guy gets elected? I will pose it to my fellow Elephants. And anyone else reading if they'd care to use those nifty comment buttons!

Two weeks ago, I would have said 100% voter turn-out, and the other guy. Right now, I want my candidate to win so badly I'd have sex with him, if that would make a difference.
Okay, honestly, I'd probably have sex with him anyway. You know, if I had sex with guys. Which I don't.
I'd probably do it anyway.
Don't tell my girlfriend.
wow. this sure is a nifty comment button.
look at me posting.
and i hope no one shatters my illusions about my boyfriend's sexual orientation.
i'd say this: i want 100% to vote.
if bush is re-elected, i want everyone in the country to line up, single file, and i want each of them to explain to me why they voted that way. if their reasons are sound - intense religious conviction, working for a weapons manufacturer - fine. if any egregious factual errors are used to justify their vote, i want to correct them, convince them they were wrong and then hit them over the head with a standard shovel.
it's all about consensus building.
