With November 4 rapidly approaching, I have begun to feel all moony and romantic about this election. We are up in the polls, and in the early voting numbers. We have seen a classy, clean campaign run by a man who is today, as he ever has been, entirely calm, cool and collected. We have stayed the course.

Look at me, with the “we”s! Could it be that, for the first time in my adult life, I have nothing but wholehearted confidence and admiration for my candidate? Could it be that my faith in the American people — which I lost eight years ago, at such a formidable time in my life — has been restored?

We can do this! YES WE CAN!

We just need to take each day as it comes. One day at a time, one day more. Tomorrow, we could be far away from where we have been. Tomorrow is the judgement day. Tomorrow we’ll discover what our God in Heaven has in store.

Sing it with me now:

One more dawn, one more day … ONE DAY MORE!

AMAZING.

The only thing I would change is to include a Barack Obama singing the part of Enjolras (the leader who comes in toward the end with “ONE MORE DAY BEFORE THE STORM … AT THE BARRICADES OF FREEDOM! AS OUR RANKS BEGIN TO FORM … WILL YOU TAKE YOUR PLACE WITH ME?”)

But they probably couldn’t find a tall, handsome black man who would agree to participate. This kind of stuff is strictly for white bread choir boys.

Oooh, and I definitely would have added that marching choreography at the end that they do in the play.

Ooooh, and the London cast version of this song is way better.

Seriously, I have enough going on this time of year, without the election to distract me … and now a musical version of it!?! I’m never going to get anything done.

This post is dedicated to all my friends from high school show choir (which sang this song every year at our spring farewell concert), especially Mike, Tiffany, Stephanie, Adam, and Jon. We SO could have been in this video.
