Is this election matter to talk about anywhere include in areas that are "assumed" to be unrelated?
I would say yes because all the reason that I believe all of you already memorize for the last months.
People realize how important this election is, they volunterary knock on doors (literary) to push people to vote since early in the morning of november 4th.
people from the other part of the world realize how important this election is, my father in Indonesia spent his day (night in USA) watching the news to see who's the next president.
this is a discussion list that enjoys International subscription, and so as this election.
I hope Obama can really give the change that america needs. Congratulation to Obama, and congratulation to all of you american citizen.
ps: i'm not a citizen and I can't vote, but if I can i'll vote for the new guy
peace,
Nissa

Tim,
The reason I sent the original post this morning was to be mindful of the fact that many museums and historic sites has very tight staffing and to encourage supervisors and co-workers to be supportive of those who may run late with the large vote today in the USA.
If someone from England or Canada or Brazil posted a message with similar scope I would encourage that too - and the same goes with any discussion of current events, such as the receding economies around the world, that may affect museums and preservation even if in a more peripheral way.
If we are to effectively communicate culture, art, and history to our visitors and colleagues we have to also be aware of the dynamics of current events and issues that are in the collective consciousness of everyday life. Often History is a mirror, as it were, of the present.
Cheers!
Dave

I'd like to echo Deb's comments that this thread is not appropriate for a Museum discussion list that enjoys International subscription. Please, American cousins, exercise your franchise if you are able to do so, but please, keep the traffic on this list museum-related.
I don't recall any mention of Canada's recent federal election on this list, nor discussion of elections in any number of other democracies around the world. Let's keep it that way.

Dearest members, please let us remember that this is an INTERNATIONAL
list, and to my knowledge, only one country is holding elections
today. While voting is an important right for anyone regardless of
nationality or location, I think it is extrememly off-topic for this
list and urge people to save their encouragement to vote for more
relevant venues of discussion.
Respectfully,
Deb Fuller
