Election Night Eve – Or how not to be drunk at the dentist’s office!

In 1971, Carly Simon released a song titled “Anticipation", that peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. In that song, anticipation was a slow delightful teasing of events to come. That song is the exact opposite of the kind of anticipation coursing through the country’s bloodstream. Our anticipation is more like waiting in the dentist’s office; a necessary function in which we wished we could be inebriated.
