Time to Vote.
Just in case you forgot, or never knew, where you need to go to vote (this is my first time voting in Massachusetts) these links will help you find your polling place if it’s in Massachusetts. Where do I vote? Need to drive there?

5 pm. Voted and for some reason you are reading this blog instead of watching TV? Here are scorecards for the Governor and Senate races. And CNN for everything else.

11 pm. It’s official — our new governor is Deval Patrick! I was impressed with Patrick’s acceptance speech. My hope is that the governor’s office doesn’t wear him down and bring on the cynicism - or the tired political yak yak — he encouraged the rest of us to keep at bay. I imagine Patrick has his work cut out for him in the days ahead. Still, I respond well to calls for hope and I am hopeful about Patrick’s ability to get things done AND hold on to his positive and uplifting attitude.
