    Vote080204a425 Election Day is finally here! Our long national fightmare is over!

    As part of an election roundup, RedEye compiled a list of buzzwords we will be glad to take a break from after Election Day.

    >> Undecided
    >> Change
    >> Maverick
    >> Main Street vs. Wall Street
    >> My friends
    >> Wasilla
    >> Game-changer
    >> Russia
    >> P.O.W.
    >> Joe six-pack
    >> Joe the Plumber
    >> Straight talk
    >> Pitbull
    >> Lipstick
    >> Pig
    >> Hockey mom
    >> Swing states
    >> Superdelegates

    What terms would you add to this list? Don't forget to check out the electionary, which details popular terms from the primary season.

    And check out this video we made this morning. Obama supporters are sick of a few words as well.

    Could we add "socialist" to the list?

    Well iwould just like to say that senator obama is most certainly 4 change im so sick and tired of the old bush and pull game that it makes me want to run from the president.all that ive been promised since i started voting was that everything wouldnt be so hard on the american people but yet and still 25 years later im still trying to make it ashore from the last president.but in my heart of all hearts i know that senator obama is 4 change and there will be change!

    Does anyone remember the slogan that was on one of the red-eye signs for Obama -- It was so great, but I forgot what it was.... It had Obama's name as part of a word. It was Obama, not Barak.

    Thanks
