Tomorrow’s Election Day and I couldn’t be less excited about voting on a bunch of state amendments. I was thinking of skipping it completely but then I thought, No. Democracy rests in my hands. So I will join millions of Americans tomorrow to cast ill-informed votes just to get the sticker. Of course, it’s not so boring in other states, like New Jersey and Virginia (and upstate New York, which is deciding the Fate of the World).

Voters in those select states are being inundated with last minute robocalls, which are recorded messages urging you to vote for a party’s candidate. I hardly take calls from family and friends let alone robots. Is there a “Do Not Call” list for these? Or a “Bother Me One More Time During Dancing With the Stars and I Will Break Your Face” list? Like getting a call from a recording of a politician is going to get me to vote their way. Except when I got that call from Bill during the primaries and I was like, BILL! BILL, CAN YOU HEAR ME? I THINK WE HAVE A BAD CONNECTION. HOW’S HILLARY?? IS SHE OKAY??

In the New Jersey governor’s race, Democrats are running robocalls targeting Republicans urging them to vote against Republican Chris Christie: “Remember Chris Daggett’s words: ‘It’s never wrong to vote for the right person.’” (Daggett is the independent.) The D’s are hoping this will help John Corzine. Well, those inspiring words would certainly get me to drop my evening wine and run to my polling station.

And in Virginia’s gubernatorial election, the Republicans are pulling out The Diva. In a robocall organized by the Faith and Freedom Coalition, Sarah Palin says, “Virginia! Hello, this is Sarah Palin, calling to urge you to go to the polls Tuesday and vote to share our principles. The eyes of America will be on Virginia, and make no mistake about it, every vote counts. So don’t take anything for granted. Vote your values on Tuesday, and urge your friends and family to vote too. Thank you.”

Wow! Republican candidate Bob McDonnell must be so totally psyched to have Palin on board! Well, not really. According to ABC News, both McDonnell and NJ’s Christie are keeping their distance from Her Royal Rogueness. Not like McDonnell has much to worry about. His Democratic opponent, Creigh Deeds, is losing by about 11 points. But it wasn’t the robocalls. It was the McDognell pomeranian doggie sweaters. Burned again by the pomeranians!
