What I'll miss most: The blogs of Ben Smith-D and Jonathan Martin-R of politico.com, which caused 64 straight days of sleep deprivation.
What I'll miss least: Sarah Palin's accent.
Second-least?: sleep deprivation.
Best reason to have volunteered for the Obama campaign: Duh.
Second-best reason to have volunteered for the Obama campaign: having a gaggle of tired, crazy neighbors to hug when Ohio was called at 9:28 p.m. Mike, Pat, Chris, Mary Alice, Meghan, Bev, Nadine. Black, white, young, old.
Most stunned and in tears at 11:04 p.m.
Best place for results-party beer: The Seapoint on East 8th Street, Southie
Best results-party drink combination: 3 pints of Smithwicks and a shot of Jack Daniels to celebrate Florida going blue.
Best overheard comment from fellow volunteer while watching results (sometime during the second round of beverage): "Look at those f***ing margins! Look at those f***ing margins!"
Number of straight, single men met while campaigning the last 2 months: 0
Number of straight, single men under the age of 65 at the post-voting party (with all teeth present): 0
So did politics save my dating life? Anyone care to comment?
(Although I now have an extensive bank of of David Brooks quotations....maybe I could attract some centrist Republicans... )
What I'm going to do now: Date? What's a date? Perhaps it's time to remember.

please tell me how sweet it was to go into work today and snap your sassy fingers at your boss. I hope you snapped those sassy fingers...in a respectful way of course! :)
