how tight is this race? swinging like count boom, boom. i believe that s new material. that ll never make twitter. dan, you ve been through a few of these election days and you ve made a lot of them memorable for a lot of us. what do you feel on a day like this? you know, great pride in the country. america s experimental country, something new in history, we re still a young country, and every election day, and i m not afraid to say it, some may say a great sense of pride and patriotism in the country. these are two good men running for the presidency. you can criticize the campaign, but these are two good men and a country of free people, new country in the history multi-racial, multi-religious, multi-ethnic country holding itself together by individual vote, i couldn t be more excited about it.
