>From the editors:
Election Day is finally here, and if you're anything like me, you're so nervous
and excited it's hard to think! A lot is at stake for women in this election --
reproductive choice, equal pay, health care and even the very definitions of
masculinity and femininity. So please make the most of these last few hours and
be sure all of your friends and family get to the polls. And continue to check
out AlterNet.org throughout the day for all the news you need to know about the
election. Find out what's going on with the Senate, House and ballot measures;
hot news, emerging trends, and juicy rumors; election results; and what's going
on with Palin and the rest of the wingnuts.
Bookmark the links and check back often.
Thanks for reading!
