Me, an Obama-voting Democrat, giving muffins to Vivian, a McCain-voting Republican, at McCain/Palin Tallahassee HQ. As we tried to hogtie a poor McCain staffer for the picture, someone casually suggested Vivian, because “everything about her just screamed Republican.”

So, I lived to tell about my visit to the campaign and learned that apparently even on election eve, at least one Republican has a sense of humor.

Here’s to Vivian, a good sport. And here’s to Lea, who really walks the walk in her life, and who I deeply admire (even if I sometimes have to wonder about the way she votes).

And here’s to all the other people working hard today and tomorrow to hold up their end of democracy, no matter which end it is.
