The opening and close of the Election Day Morning Jolt . . .

This is it, everybody.
First of all, before we go any further . . . have you voted? You haven’t? Go. I’ll wait. No, don’t tell me you’ll do it after work. Your car may break down. You may fall down a flight of stairs. A North Carolina congressman may try to strangle you before you can get to the polls. I’m not saying any of those things will happen, I’m just saying that if you vote now, you don’t have to worry about these random mishaps resulting in your vote being left un-cast. So go ahead. Run out during your lunch break. Even if you’re voting for the other guys. But . . . er . . . you’re not really going to vote for the other guys, are you?

ADDENDA: A collection of fun last-minute thoughts on the elections on Twitter:
Our Greg Pollowitz wonders, “Thought: does a Giants win affect turnout in SF? Hungover and skipping the vote.”
Patrick Ruffini wonders about some conventional wisdom: “Have [the number]s moved more in Pennsylvania’s Senate race with a 2-1 GOP ad spending advantage than in Colorado’s Senate race with a draw? Hint: No.”
Late Monday night, John Podhoretz watched MSNBC so that the rest of us don’t have to: “Watching Laurence O’Donnell right now is like watching an East German newscast just as the Wall was falling.”
When Speaker Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) Tweeted her congratulations to her hometown San Francisco Giants for winning the World Series, Nathan Wurtzel observed, “That Twitter handle will be changing shortly.”
