I’m going to leave milk and cookies out for the U.S. electorate for when they shimmy down the chimney to leave Obama under the tree.

I’m wearing my Obama badge today, and I’m checking CNN.com, which I only ever do when there’s an election in the U.S. And I can’t forget how I was feeling this time four years ago:
November 2, 2004
9:53 PM: I’m not nervous about the winner. I’m confident it’s Kerry. I’m nervous that somehow or other Bush and his sickening puppeteers will find a way to walk away with their heads held high. I don’t just want them to lose – I want them and their entire mad project to be humiliated.
11:24 AM: Aargh.
