The polls open in just a few hours, and if you're anything like me you're experiencing a strange emotion made up of equal parts anticipation, excitement and fear.
At this point there's not a whole lot for me to add to the discourse. Polls have been analyzed and explained by better writers than I, so in the interest of staying sane I offer this playlist for my First Bi-Annual Election-Eve Dance Party. Enjoy, and don't forget to vote!

2. Just Like Heaven / The Cure
3. Don't It Make My Red State Blue / Crystal Gayle
4. Hold On One More Day / Wilson Phillips
5. Express Yourself / Madonna
6. I'm So Excited / Pointer Sisters
7. Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want / Smiths
8. Wishing and Hoping / Dusty Springfield
And in the interest of fairness I've compiled a list for our RedState friends, too:
