On Sunday afternoon I drove around my neighborhood to find some people I had seen waving Obama signs at an intersection earlier in the day. I thought that would make a great 'election day' sketch. But they weren't there anymore.
I actually haven't seen many signs of the presidential candidates around here. I guess it's pretty much a given that a blue state like Washington is going to go for Obama. What is not so clear is who will win the race for governor today. Democratic candidate and current governor Christine Gregoire won just by 129 votes four years ago after three recounts. She defeated Republican candidate Dino Rossi, who is running against her again. I was lucky enough on my search for signs to find this cluster with signs of Gregoire and Rossi mixing up with others selling homes, concrete and even a religious preschool.
As I drove back home I did find an Obama sign in a house near mine. That was exactly what I needed to complete this moleskine spread.
I hope both Gregoire and Obama win today.

Hey, Gabi, nice to see that...
Today november 4th, I was thinking about such a drawing but in Paris, in some american bar, or a place where meeting is organized for the result... Everybody is waiting for it and Obama.
Let's see who is gonna win... I hope you will draw something about it !
Your sketches have a keen eye for graphics Gabi.
I hope Obama wins too ! (he will)
Obama? Well, thats a earthquake!
This is a classic view - so glad you captured it here in your unique style, Gabi. Btw, looks like Obama is winning!!!!
